Golden Boy

No chance, that the fifth youngest president to take the oath of office would in any way acknowledge his mortality. That game becomes popular much later in life when the various instruments of one's death come galloping around the home stretch, vying for position, much as in a horse race. They say one's time on earth is set; that only the manner of one's death remains a mystery until the end.

To me, Obama seems much younger than his years. It’s the ears, I think. I wonder if he’ll age twice as fast as ordinary mortals, as presidents are apt to do. It’s the weight of the world on their shoulders – or should I say 'country'. Obama has no country - that much is self-evident by now. That leaves 'world'.

Is the world heavier or lighter than a nation? Difficult to say at this point. We’ll find out in four years; to see how much he’s aged. God has generally been acknowledged to have been in charge of the world until now. It’s possible that He’s looking to take a break. So, He sent… How long can it last?

God hasn’t been known to say much of late – or ever. Obama talks way too much. Do you think God might be more popular if He'd have more to say?
