The economic erosion due to Wall Streets corrupt capitalistic endeavors has hurt citizens in their pocketbooks so these citizens including the Main Stream Media (MSM) are caching Barack Hussein Obama’s character corruption in the hopes that people's dismay over economic erosion instead of character corruption will propel Obama to the White House.

Yet, history will show time after time when a government is based on the sole basis of MONEY CO, an acronym for economy over MORALITY then those places will be subject to corruption.

Right now, citizens are so upset about the economy that they want to blame the Bush Administration and all those associated with him including Sen. John Sydney McCain because he is the registered Republican nominee vying for the presidency of the United States since this collapse happened under the Republican watch.

But even Democrats know that the Republicans are not to blame for the economy because if they were, don’t you think they would have conducted special hearings or come out with damaging reports implicating high Republican officials for the collapse to undermine the Republican’s quest for the White House again?

The collapse occurred under the watch of a Democratic led House and Senate but the MSM and Obama campaign wants to portray the Republican administration as being responsible.

If you understand the presidency, the president can only do so much and without the support of Congress, he cannot do much. It is this Congress that let the corruption continue for political gain. Now they want voters to let MONEY CO. (economy) overrule MORALITY.

But regardless of who is to blame, citizens look to this administration and associate McCain with Bush because of the lies spread to the citizens by MSM and the Obama campaign.

Now because of the economy, it is almost impossible for a Republican to take the White House again if history proves right. This means the Maverick McCain has his work cut out for him and can only win with the intervention of God's Hand.

McCain is trailing in the polls because citizens view him as responsible for the economic erosion. Before the economic collapse, McCain had a 10-point Gallup poll lead. Whether it was a conspiracy or not, it feels like when McCain took a big lead, the economy started to suffer badly and the stocks came crumbling down.

If certain citizens deliberately affected the economy, just so they can prevent citizens from voting for McCain over Obama, my prayer is that people will see through the character of McCain and Obama and choose McCain.

Economy is important because it does affect our daily lives but the Lord Jesus wants His followers to focus on MORALITY more than the MONEY CO. (economy)

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21, NIV)

So when our mind is on the economy or MONEY CO. (economy) than that is how we will vote. We will be so scared of what is happening in the economy that we will want to usher a new administration hoping to bring change.

But just because we think we can change the outcome of the economy by our actions does not mean it will change.

When the financial fallout froze credit and caused chaos all over the U.S., how many people really prayed for God’s intervention in the situation and confessed for the lack of morality prevailing?

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14, NIV)

The government with the support of Democrats and Republicans in Congress and the White House worked on a bailout bill to improve the economy. The economy did not improve at all by the bailout and the stocks continued to crumble and crash.

People are looking for Obama for answers, some who have even hailed him as the Messiah. Obama was called ‘the Messiah’ by the anti-Semite, Jew hating, leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan who Obama himself has a lot of respect for and accepted his endorsement.

Obama is no Messiah with all his character flaws and associations of corruption.

Jesus, the Messiah has already come and will come again. Jesus emphasizes more MORALITY than MONEY CO. (economy)

Obama keeps emphasizing the economic crises to persuade people to vote for him making them believe he can change the economy around. He voted for the bailout with McCain and that did no good for the economy.

If anything his ties and associations with certain groups and people show that Obama is wrong for promoting the MONEY CO  (economy) or promoting MORALITY.

Could it be the economic fallout could be only changed by God and God wants us to focus on Him and Him alone for the answers?

Could it be that God wants us as His followers to be voting based on MORALITY than MONEY CO. (economy)?

Many are looking into their own pockets and basing their vote on pocketbook premises but God wants us to base our vote on Jesus, the Messiah’s morality.

In the same passage that Jesus starts out with personal economy, Jesus addresses morality and then concludes with a powerful statement.

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” (Matthew 6:22-24, NIV)

Morality is more important than money. We need to focus more on voting based on morality than basing our vote on money.

But you may say that your survival and economic gain depends on whether you elect Barack Hussein Obama to the presidency over John Sydney McCain but don’t let the MONEY CO. (economy) cloud your judgment over MORALITY.

God will take care of your economic condition and promises to. He wants you to seek His Kingdom first and what is important to Him which is MORALITY over MONEY CO. (economy) He knows you are worried about the economy but He wants you to rest in Him and take character seriously in your vote.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:25-34, NIV)

Most of the Sermon on the Mount is focused on MORALITY over MONEY CO. (economy)

If Jesus means a lot to us than as followers of Christ, we will choose the candidate who comes close to espousing MORALITY over MONEY CO. (economy)

Character is utmost important and history of Obama’s connections and life will show, if you are open minded, that Obama is wrong and dangerous for America as its president.

“Barack's Blackness Should Sway Election's Electorate!” (Oct 06, 08, 2:14 p.m.)

Obama because of his lack of morality on issues that matter to God cannot fix the economy how much he tries without the intervention of God. Even McCain cannot fix the economy without the intervention of God.

But, my support for McCain and Palin is because of their stance on MORALITY issues such as Abortion and Gay Marriage.

McCain/Palin 08 ticket is vehemently opposed to abortion and gay marriage. As followers of Christ who love God, I hope issues such as sanctity of life for the unborn and sanctity of marriage between a man and woman become issues to base your vote on.

A person’s character should always be emphasized over a person’s commitment. A person can commit to do a lot of things but if that person does not have credibility or character than all the commitments made can fall through the way side.

Obama is dangerous for America with his radical ties. I pray my brothers and sisters in Christ will see that and may the Lord Jesus impress upon you to vote for whom He wants you to vote who has an eye towards character.

May you follow the path of MORALITY over MONEY CO (economy) and let Jesus take care of the economy.

History will show prosperous nations crumbling and being destroyed because morality went downhill. When immorality becomes the norm and people don’t care then economies start to crumble. When economies start to crumble, people elect leaders who they would not have otherwise elected in the hopes of fixing the economic situation because of their persuasion, etc.

Sodom and Gommorah were destroyed because of homosexuality. Other nations suffered because of abortion.

How do you think Adolph Hitler came into power?
It was through persuasiveness and fear even though his character was so flawed. Yet he was elected by the people and then they saw the wrath of Hitler’s regime with Nazism.

Will we elect Obama to change the economy because of his persuasiveness and fear of what another Republican administration will do to the economy?

Or will we stand our ground on the MORALITY of the Word of God and not base our vote because of the MONEY CO (economy)?

You govern based on who you are influenced by and Obama’s relations and ties are to characters that would not have never allowed him to take any other office because he would have failed the background check but now he is in a position to take the presidency of the United States only if we allow him to with our vote.

Please let us not, because we cannot trust him and his commitments. His votes on morality have been mostly negative including voting four times against the ‘Born Alive Infant Act’ and his message to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act so ‘Gay Marriages’ can be recognized in any state.

The love of money over morality is dangerous for anyone to take. God wants us to focus on MORALITY over MONEY CO. (economy)

As the upcoming articles will show, neither candidate is perfect but McCain brings us closer to ideals closer to Scripture.

So let us take God’s Word to heart and vote for MORALITY over MONEY CO. (economy)

“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” (1 Timothy 6:6-10, NIV).
