What Goes Around Comes Around. Don't argue that Obama is not Anointed.

Posted By: Marta Fernandez on October 28, 2008 Obama Helped Stranded Stranger 20 Years Ago Sun Oct 05, 2008 at 03:47:48 PM PDT The Norwegian newspaper VG has reported a truly amazing story about a newly-wed trying to get to Norway to be with her husband, and the stranger who helped pay an unexpected luggage surcharge. The blog "Leisha's Random Thoughts" has translated the story. It was 1988, and Mary Andersen was at the Miami airport checking in for a long flight to Norway to be with her husband when the airline representative informed her that she wouldn't be able to check her luggage without paying a 100 surcharge: When it was finally Mary's turn, she got the message that would crush her bubbling feeling of happiness. -You'll have to pay a 103 dollar surcharge if you want to bring both those suitcases to Norway, the man behind the counter said. Mary had no money. Her new husband had travelled ahead of her to Norway, and she had no one else to call. -I was completely desperate and tried to think which of my things I could manage without. But I had already made such a careful selection of my most prized possessions, says Mary. As tears streamed down her face, she heard a "gentle and friendly voice" behind her saying, "That's okay, I'll pay for her." Mary turned around to see a tall man whom she had never seen before. -He had a gentle and kind voice that was still firm and decisive. The first thing I thought was, Who is this man? Although this happened 20 years ago, Mary still remembers the authority that radiated from the man. -He was nicely dressed, fashionably dressed with brown leather shoes, a cotton shirt open at the throat and khaki pants, says Mary. She was thrilled to be able to bring both her suitcases to Norway and assured the stranger that he would get his money back. The man wrote his name and address on a piece of paper that he gave to Mary. She thanked him repeatedly. When she finally walked off towards the security checkpoint, he waved goodbye to her. Who was the man? Barack Obama. Twenty years later, she is thrilled that the friendly stranger at the airport may be the next President and has voted for him already and donated 100 dollars to his campaign: -He was my knight in shining armor, says Mary, smiling. She paid the 103 dollars back to Obama the day after she arrived in Norway. At that time he had just finished his job as a poorly paid community worker* in Chicago, and had started his law studies at prestigious Harvard university. Mary even convinced her parents to vote for him: In the spring of 2006 Mary's parents had heard that Obama was considering a run for president, but that he had still not decided. They chose to write a letter in which they told him that he would receive their votes. At the same time, they thanked Obama for helping their daughter 18 years earlier. And Obama replied: In a letter to Mary's parents dated May 4th, 2006 and stamped 'United States Senate, Washington DC', Barack Obama writes**: 'I want to thank you for the lovely things you wrote about me and for reminding me of what happened at Miami airport. I'm happy I could help back then, and I'm delighted to hear that your daughter is happy in Norway. Please send her my best wishes. Sincerely, Barack Obama , United States senator'. The parents sent the letter on to Mary. He confirms my belief, do good in the world. Share what you have. It always comes back, look what goodness he spread.

...Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle's light... Quote from -Brother Billy Graham Wednesday, October 29th 2008 at 3:30PM |

Bro. Mozell, I am 100 percent sure since the day he announced his candidacy and I have been saying so to all my family and friends from the very beginning. I am just waiting for the final proof when the votes are tallied.

That doesn't surprise me. I can tell that Obama has a generous, caring, compassionate spirit. When he wins, I believe America will turn around for the good of all Americans.

I am so glad that you shared this with me. It is too bad that McCain will not be able to accept your discription of him. I remember Oprah's words when she introduced him, she said that, "he is the one". What this man has done so far and if he does nothing else in this life time, he has caused me to see something I never believed or even dared to dream! A man of my race running for a chance to remove that White Only sign off of the White House!!! I will repeat, that White Only sign, I never thought or even dared to dream would come down in my life time. Even my daughter's life time as she was born in the 60s!!!!!And, for this I give thanks to God, our African ancestors, mother nature and the universe for Barack Hussein Obama and Michelle Obama and Joe Biden and his lovely wife and every vote casted for Obama.... And, the information that keeps coming on this site from you and those like you, Marta. Now, I will get off my soapbox(smile) Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM |

Something I will also repeat again; the words to define/desctibe (America's 44th president)Barack Husseine Obama have not been invented yet.(smile)

why do I make a statement like the one I just made? Well the words America having any thing but a White male president has not been invented yet. Or, am I wrong?
