Equipped with the knowledge we, the American public has, of the Obama’s very liberal and at best psuedo-Christian beliefs, we can only surmize Mrs. Obama’s efforts in the lives of her children will only serve to perpetuate a morality and value system which is ultimately antithetical to a Biblical world and life view. May the Lord see fit to open Mr. & Mrs. Obama’s eyes to this truth.

Be sure to read my comments to Joe. I don’t think it was Pastor Chanski’s intention to provide a positive appraisal of Mrs. Obama’s motives or to predict whether she’ll carry through with her mothering commitment. I believe he was simply drawing attention to a public statement she made in favor of motherhood. I doubt he voted for her husband and would certainly not endorse many of his or her beliefs.

Of course, one might question whether Michelle Obama was pressured against her will to make a positive statement in favor of the role of mother in order to appease a majority of the American public. If so, we can still be grateful that God’s common grace is operative–if not in her, at least in a significant amount of American’s to whom her statement would appeal.

I’m aware that she and her husband support abortion. While I believe abortion is a form of murder (see my post entitled, “An Immoral Proposal”), I don’t believe everyone who supports abortion is fully aware of the gravity of their crime in the same way that they’d be aware of wrongdoing if they murdered a five-year old child in cold blood. Of course, such ignorance is not ultimately excusable. But I’m not certain I would place Mrs. Obama in the same class as someone like, say, Hitler, who, with full knowledge of what he was doing, brutally and heartlessly murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent victims.

In any case, thanks for the link and your counterpoints. Let us pray that God might open the eyes of the President-elect and his wife that they might see not only their sin but the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

I appreciate your balanced input on this backed by bibilical examples. I find it helpful when looking at these types of things. It can be too easy to be black and white on these issues. Thanks for the input.
