Obama Loves Me, This I Know, for the Liberal Bible Tells Me So
The New York Times slipped comfortably into Obama Girl mode today with another fawning article about Barack Obama, this one titled "Obama-Inspired Black Voters Warm to Politics." The article practically writes itself with no pretense of balance. Political participation derives from one source only, without the possibility that new black voters may be voting Republican. Maybe the National Black Republican Association could provide some, shall we say, diversity of perspective light on this aspect of the story.
What caught my attention in the story was a quote that instantly echoed an upbringing 40 years ago among the Texas Baptists. One passage reads,
For Darnell Harris of Cleveland, an 18-year-old private in the Marines, the legal voting age could not come fast enough. “I’m excited that the first time I get to vote, it’s for Barack,” he said. And echoing many others, he said that race is only part of the reason. “Obama cares about everybody, whether they’re white, black, Chinese, whatever. He’s not just for one little group.”
Where have I heard that thought before? Could Darnell Harris be channeling this song with this well-known (among some groups) refrain?
Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in His sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
