| (CNN) — Before he delivered his victory speech on Tuesday night in Chicago, President-elect Barack Obama took a call and bowed his head in prayer. Dr. Joel Hunter, pastor of Northland Church in Orlando, Florida and Otis Moss Jr. from Mount Olivet Institutional Baptist Church in Cleveland, Ohio joined him in that prayer.
Speaking with CNN today by phone, Dr. Hunter says the prayer was intensely personal and private but did say “I prayed for his family and for him and for the country. I had no agenda other than trying to create an environment in which he felt the presence and could receive wisdom from God.” Dr. Hunter, a conservative evangelical who delivered a prayer at the Democratic National Convention this summer, says the President-elect “…feels the weight of this responsibility. He [Obama] doesn’t take upon himself of having to have all the answers but he certainly realizes the huge challenges this nation faces. He feels the personal weight of the potential to guide us through these difficult times. I don’t think he’s oppressed by it though.” Dr. Hunter says he thinks it set in for Obama last night and led to the sober tone of the victory speech.

| Barack,
Good job for running a long, hard fought, and clockwork campaign. You are a great strategist and I'm looking forward to having an intelligent, dare I say, elite president. Who better to lead our elite troops? You also obviously care about our country and that's something I appreciate.
However it seems like you've got a large amount of money right now. Very large.
Just get out there and shake some hands!
P.S. If you were broke I would loan you some cash, you seem like a decent guy.

| endorsement. It's just the truth.
The point of the last post was, in case you missed it, that in this election there are a significant number of Americans who think a lie is the truth. Especially if you consider yourself a Christ follower, you must love the truth.
Love the truth, America. | | |
| christian. in case you are one of the 13% of ignorant americans who have bought the obama is a muslim, or one of the 16% who 'have heard different things and arn't sure'
how do I know? well... because there is evidence. as opposed to the other theories which are bald faced lies.
