If I may ----
Mac, your point is HUGE.
The presence of his image next to that verse and the phrase "Prayer Changes Things" demonstrates that prevalent thought among black people that the government is their deliverer. In truth, it is their mortal enemy. Every single administration has subjected them, abused them, and deceived them, bar none. Many black people may think they've arrived because a black man is President. He's not their deliverer, but their oppressor in chief! Not one drug law, not one law enforcement issue, not one evidentiary standard that the government must meet, has been changed to require that the government bear all burdens of proof or that all presumptions be against government and in favor of the citizen. I am laughing out loud as I type this, seriously. America's black community is just as subject to slavery and diminution as it was in 1860. Counting those currently incarcerated alone --- not even counting those who can't vote or own a gun because of felony convictions --- there are about 800,000 black men today. There are only about 18 million black men in America. Add to those the number who are not inmates but have been, and it soars to more than 4 million. That is systematic, intentional. But, Barack Obama represents "change". Where are the pardons? Where are all the free blacks? Right where they were, that's where. And, that's not going to change one little iota. Why? Because they are right where HE wants them to be.
They are blinded.
Human government bears the same relation to hell as the church bears to heaven. (David Lipscomb, On Civil Government, 72).
