We come before you lifting up Barack Obama and his family, asking for your divine protection as he continues his quest for the White House. Father, we ask that no weapon that forms against him and/or his family, near and afar, shall prosper. And that every tongue that rises against him in judgment shall be condemned. We pray that his good will not be evil spoken of. We pray that his words will continue to be with grace, seasoned with salt and that he may know how to give an answer to every man of the hope that lies within him. We pray that you will go before him and his family, make crooked paths straight and rough places smooth. Continue Father-God to open up doors for him whom no man can shut. Continue to lead him within the path of righteousness for your namesake, this nation and thy people. We pray that you will give him the wisdom, knowledge and understanding to lead this great nation in which we live for it is in you we trust. Father-God, we ask that you will keep his mind, heart, soul and spirit stayed on you; and that you will keep him in perfect peace. For we know your eyes are upon the righteous and your ears are open unto our cry. For this, we thank you.

That's about as nice a prayer as a Christian can pray for someone. Kudos.

I especially like the hanging chad part of the prayer -

 

Father-God, we pray that you will keep him from the snares of the fowler, and that nothing will come nigh his dwelling. We pray and take authority over everything that is not like you. As we near the presidential election this November, we pray and take authority over prejudices, racism, snipers, assassins, liars, thieves and cheaters. Father-God, we ask that you would create in them, clean hearts and renew within them a right spirit. Cleanse them from secret faults and presumptuous sins that they devise against Barack Obama. We pray, and we take authority over hanging chads, miscounted votes, lost ballots, not enough time at polls, miscounted absentee ballots local and/or overseas, distractions of any sort, malfunctioning machines electronic or manual, unnecessary recounts, sickness or disease, favoritism and schemes of states. Father-God, we are asking for your divine protection and intervention when and wherever needed for Barack Obama. Because we know that the steps of a good man are ordered by you, and he delighteth in his way - we believe that if you are with him, who can stand against him. Open up the eyes of Barack Obama that he may see that there are more with him than be against him. For this, we thank you

So God should send to hell those who speak against Obama?

Well, it's best not to leave that up to man. We've seen how that can turn
out!

We should take authority over hanging chads.

No, just their tongues, apparently.

(Seriously though, 'condemned' and 'condemned to hell' are very different
things. Fortunately, the prayer does not ask for the latter.)

Further to that, "condemn the tongues" is typically a way of saying "May God
discredit the words of".

So, is it true that Obama's never held a job?

All I know is that he was a Community Organizer.  Which apparently is something you shouldn't be proud of or respect.
