Today, I heard something that sort of confirms my over all opinion.  On one of the conservative talk shows that I listen to during the day, the host was talking about how Ms. Barak Hussien Obama thinks that her life is hard.  In addition, she judges others people's struggles by comparing them to her personal experience.

Ok, she and her husband are college educated career professionals. Barak Hussien Obama is a lawyer, in the senate, with the ability to seek the presidency.

The following information I found on Mr. Barak Hussien Obama's website.

After high school Michelle went on to Princeton University where in 1985 she graduated with a B.A. in sociology and a minor in African American studies. After college, Michelle continued her education at Harvard Law School, where she earned her degree in 1988.

For three years after law school, Michelle worked as an associate in the area of marketing and intellectual property at Chicago law firm Sidley and Austin, where she met Barack Obama. She left the corporate law world in 1991 to pursue a career in public service, serving as an assistant to the mayor and then as the assistant commissioner of planning and development for the City of Chicago.

In 1993, she became the founding executive director of Public Allies - Chicago, a leadership training program that received AmeriCorps National Service funding and helped young adults develop skills for future careers in the public sector.

Michelle began her involvement with the University of Chicago in 1996. As associate dean of student services, she developed the University's first community service program. Michelle also served as executive director of community and external affairs until 2005, when she was appointed vice president of community and external affairs at the University of Chicago Medical Center. She also managed the business diversity program.

Now, I ask you is this the resume of a person who has had it rough?  The answer is of course not.  Then, why the tears of of I am a poor victim?  I would suggest it has to do with the victim class identity of Chicagoans.  I was once listenning to Rush Limbaugh and heard a person with a $100,000 annual salary complaining how hard it was for him to make it financially in Chicago.

With a $100,000 I could buy and sell Hugo Chavez to the Mexicans.  I am sure they would buy him so they could keep him in a cage at the circus.

Okay, maybe I should give up my attempt at comedy. Now, my collage degree was a complete dissapointment.  However,I did not even get 1 percent out of it from what Ms. Obama got.

Now, the point is that there has to be something wrong with people who have had success and talk like burned out and depressed janitors and waitresses.

When I was meditating on the dispairity between what the Obama's have and how they describe their lifes, I found one conclusion at first.  This is a perfect example of not being grateful for what you have and being depressed because you think life denied you something.

Life denied me a Phd in psychology.  Yes I am depressed.  Sometimes I am the biggest cry baby in the world.  However, I know life can be good with the basics and I would never judge some one elses experience by thinking they are exactly like mine.

Ms. Obama is right there is a lot agnst in the world.  Many of us came to that conclusion  decades ago.  I know it comes from the distance between God and humans. We are entering into the Bible prophecies of the book of Revelation.

For those without Christ this is depressing because it denotes a time of grave struggle from which they will have no relief because of their distance from the only One who can help them, God.

Many believers know it will be hard.  However, they are comforted by their strong belief in the promises of God.  It is sad that many will be called and few will be chosen.

However, government policy cannot be built on the premise that everything is wrong.  Today, I heard on the radio that Wal-Mart's sales have grown 2.9 percent and that there were 20,000 less unemplyment claims.  Manufacturing is also up.  These are good economic news.  Therefore, everything is not bad.

However, if you come from a culture over obssessed on the negative with no emotional ties to God, you are going to think life is a cruel and horrible joke.

I prefer to champion the human potential that comes from the passionate quest for dreams.
