Posting: Good Time For A Brainy Presidentexcerpts:So for several years, I have been arguing that there are traits much more important to the success of a president than brainpower. Self-confidence, curiosity, an eye for talent, the ability to communicate, a temperament that invites collaboration -- all these and more rank higher on the list of desirable presidential traits. I am not ready to abandon that view. But I am struck by how lucky this country is, at the moment, that the president-elect is a super-smart person like Barack Obama. With each passing day, it becomes more evident that even the smartest and most experienced managers of the American economy are struggling to understand -- and fix -- what has gone wrong in our markets.But for a nation in crisis, it is worth giving thanks for the performance the next president has turned in so far -- and for the mind that is working on the nation's behalf. davidbroder@washpost.

David, Only the haters have and will continue to oppose your positive commentary about President-Elect Obama. Although it was not written my way, you hit the nail on the head. Be proud, David, a job well done."Obama is moving according to his inner-spirit, his inner-strengths not according to his own impulse and his acquired wisdom(skills as a lawyer), but Obama moves according to his "spiritual and natural" creativity. Obama has gained great knowledge over his life, but, he is able to apply it to his innate abilities of positiveness and as a humanitarian, in the utmost. When Obama places himself in this attitude, and realizes that he is working out a "divine" plan through him, Obama is in possession of "Divine" power, which knows nothing of defeat. All the power of counter agencies or opposition is of no more account than the chaff of the threshing floor---(EGWhite manuscript 115, 1899--paraphrased to present situation)David, your positive message is additional to millions of others across America and the wide-world who knows as well as feels Obama's plans and strategies are real and necessary in such a time of tremendous pressures and crisis affecting humanity--especially our children.. President-Elect Obama will continue to "prosecute his plans with tact and ability. And, we must continue to encourage all America to take part, even speaking a kind word of Obama work or work plans, we are partakers to heal America and the wide-world of humanity. Just watch and see if the breath of life will not quickly return to America. (paraphrased. EGW letter 54, 1898.)11/28/2008 11:39:01 AM
Thursday, November 27, 2008Obama:Every Child Born Gifted
For many years, I was embarrassed, when my teachers, colleagues, or others in my company would say, "Oh, you are the smart one. Or, you are an intelligent Black. Or, African America. Where were you born? Other statements like the one you made, David. "...struck by how lucky this country is, at the moment, that the president-elect is a super-smart person like Barack Obama." There is no other Barack Obama. Yet, Every child born in this earth is born "Gifted and Talented" President-Elect Obama is fulfilling his purpose as others are also fulfilling theirs. Including you, David. I have spent many years, living life, experimenting life, as well as educating lives on the very foundation that "Every Child Is Born Gifted". Many of earth's human treasures would fulfill their purpose in this earth, provided the guidance to true education is introduced and then, presented to them, allowing them the space to err and not "kill" them for their mistakes, not be killed, mentally, physically, or spiritually. To each individual human being is given a 1. Spiritual Body, and 2, A Natural Body. During the production and developmental stages, the child must receive appropriate nurturing provided by the teacher, parent, trainer, in the appropriate times and spaces.President-Elect Obama is our President 2009-2012. All other 43 Presidents served their time periods, also. Did they provide the intelligence, direct their intelligence to the best of their abilities? The Presidents, themselves can give the best answer to that question. Many are called. Few are chosen. Not all leaders, called, become the leader, chosen.David, I would choose the better words, because I have not the fear you accepted as part of your childhood. America is better for electing Obama as our USA President 2009-2012 And, by so many Americans believing the same, as you, and me, President Obama is clear-minded enough to challenge the work that is set before him. The greatest barriers, President-elect Obama has overcome. The path is clearer for many more "super-smart persons" will travel higher heights and deeper depths in leadership in America and the wide-world. David S. Broder, you have written a great article. You have opened a door for so long was closed for me and I am certain, others wanted open to move toward their greater purpose. I thank you, sincerely. actionspeaks--gloriahnt@yahoo.com Posted by Action Speaks at 6:02 PM 0 comments
