The Worst Trade Deal That You've Never Heard Of

Obama's hypocrisy seems to  know no bounds.  He was for hope and change, openness and transparency, jobs and civil society.  

He is a brand, a marketing product of identity politics.  Unfortunately, most of the politicians of both the left and the right are the same.   They are just targeted to different segments of the public.

Lead, Kindly Light

 

Two versions based on John Henry Newman's famous poem, Lead Kindly Light.

“May He support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done.

Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last."

J. H. Newman
