STORY BEHIND "THE GREAT RENEGER"
Before you read this I must tell you that I am neither Republican or Democrat. I believe both parties have from their founding principles. Both have spent our country into bankruptcy. I believe we need a complete turnaround as a country. The correct word would be "re-vo-lu-tion". I don't mean a violent overthrow. I am not for violence but I believe we need to get back to the Constitution. We need to get back to smaller government. We need to get back to our roots! What the Founders originally had in mind was a Constitutional Republic with limited government. The very most important thing is: , we need to get back to God! I watched the process that Obama went through to get elected. For me it started 4 years earlier at the Democratic Convention when a virtually unknown Senator from Illinois made a very impassioned speech. I think everyone that saw it was shaking their head and saying, “Who is that guy? Man can he talk!” There is no getting around the fact that Obama is an orator! He has a gift. Give him a teleprompter and he’s in his element. However, should things get screwed up with the prompter he's lost. He's a puppet! And just because someone can read well doesn't make them Presidential material.(Now we are finding out that if you are going to be President it probably pays to have had some experience in the real world instead of being just a "community organizer." As the song says, "he's a novice, lifted up in pride!" Have you seen him in action or inaction with the oil spill problem? Turns out he's not so Presidential) I watched and listened very carefully as he made promise after promise in his campaign and then after his election I watched just as carefully as he broke them. I was raised in a Christian family by God fearing folks. All my young life I was taught that lying was evil. I remember the most severe discipline I ever received from my parents had to do with telling the truth. Then later when I studied the Bible myself, I found that Jesus himself said that Satan was the “father of lies" and "liars.” (John 8) When I was young my mother used a word that I have never forgotten. When I was given a job to do and promised my mother that I would complete it, but then failed to perform that promise, she would call me in and we'd have a talk. She would tell me that I had reneged on my promise. She would say, "don't renege on your promises, don't become a reneger, honor your word!" She impressed upon me that it was of the utmost importance that a man keep his word, that the most precious thing any man has is the honor that comes from being “A man of his word.” This past year as I watched our president go back on his promises, I was reminded of my mother's words. This song was actually pretty easy to write. I feel that President Obama could almost be listed as the co-writer on this one. He provided so much of the content and actual words from his speeches, actions and the promises he made and then broke. The line where it says, “meetings behind closed doors,” was from Obama talking about the mistake Clinton made by gathering his top advisors and meeting behind closed doors to discuss Healthcare. Obama said he was not going to repeat that mistake and then he promptly did the very same thing. The line, “Senators bribed no better than whores” comes from those closed meetings and the votes that were bought with virtual bribes. What has happened to our country? How can politicians justify such behaviour. What sort of people do we have leading this nation? They are certainly not God fearing folks! God help us! Then there was the line about Obama being a novice? The Bible says in 1 Timothy 3:6 “Not a novice, lest being lifted up in pride he fall into the condemnation of the Devil." Isn’t it interesting that the majority of America's media was so behind Obama, virtually “in the tank” as they say. Both Obama and the media made such a big thing out of Sarah Palin being inexperienced when she had successfully been the mayor of a small town, and then later the Governor of Alaska. Now that we have Obama as President we can see who the true novice really is, or as one person put it, "he's never successfully run anything but his mouth." Have you ever noticed how irritated Obama gets when people hold up his mistakes, expose something he doesn’t like, or interrupt him in order to get a word in edgewise. Did you see President Obama humiliate John McCain in front of all America in the Health Care meeting? What a pompous self righeous ass! I don't care whether he's the President or not, John McCain is many years his senior and whether you respect his political views or not, he has certainly served his country honorably, something Obama will never be able to say. You probalby remember the recent interview where Bret Baer tried to get the President to answer some questions that needed answering. Did you notice how agitated Obama became that Bret should deign to challenge his "holiness" when he kept avoiding the quesitons? This was the idea for the line in the song that says “his skin so thin…” At one point not too long ago he actually declared war on Fox News but it didn’t work out so well and it seemed to me that he thought better of it and dropped it. The Fact is he still hates Fox news but there isn't much he can do about it as the majority of the country is going to Fox for factual news. When the chorus mentions "he’s neither black or white, He's many shades of grey, far left from what's right.” It describes the politics of the unknown and with Obama, you can’t really put your finger on him. He is indeed shifty and "many shades of grey." Bill Clinton has been called, “Slick Willie”, but I tell you right now that Clinton had nothing on Obama. I think the Clinton's are still wondering how in the world this upstart came out of nowhere and stole what they thought was going to automatically be theirs. One more thing, some folks have responded to the word "reneger", saying they feel it is veiled racism. After 4.3 million views and over 4,000 comments on YouTube you can bet I have heard this accusation many times. Having been a missionary for 30 years, 24 of those overseas, I have served with people of all colors and I tell you that true Christians are color blind. Just for the record, I believe that Blacks are some of the most dedicated Christians I have ever met. I am truly sorry if anyone felt that I was being racist but it just not the truth. The problem we have with the English language is that there are really only two words to describe Obama in all the promises he made, one is "liar" and the other is "reneger." In this song we are referring to the many promises that Obama made and then broke, thus making him a reneger, and because he broke so many, we dubbed him "The Great Reneger." Where Reagan was known as the Great Communicator, Obama will be known as "The Great Reneger!" |
