Podcasts about united states president barack obama

May years ago, former United States President Barack Obama declared that the United States was no longer a “Christian Nation.” Though many people of faith objected at the time, it appears he may have been right. For the past few decades, The United States has been drifting and falling away from true Christianity and embracing a form of recycled and demonic paganism. Today, Bob shares what you need to know.

The Roots of Music Marching Crusaders is a musical group of great fame and critical acclaim ― they’ve marched for the NFL’s New Orleans Saints; they performed for United States President Barack Obama. They’ve played with the Louisiana Philharmonic, and serenaded the inauguration of Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards. But what makes them really special is that the group is comprised of youth! This amazing group of kids represents a community effort that goes so much deeper than “merely” musical excellence for outstanding youth. Each year, and as an integral part of their mission, the organization serves on the order of 200 low-income youth from across New Orleans. In a time when community struggles can greatly hold back the growth, development, and achievement of our most precious resource ― young lives ― The Roots of Music has assembled an incredible change-making model that combines musical instruction and school tutoring, with nutritious meals and transportation, and which leads in turn to inspirational performances, community building, mentorship, pride, and personal success. Listen in to learn more about this amazing group and how they're changing lives for young people in New Orleans!

January 20, 2009, newly inaugurated United States President Barack Obama declared a new era for American leadership in promoting peace on the planet, but how likely is it that he'll play the role of peacemaker as president? During the campaign, he pointed to his early opposition to the war in Iraq, while talking tough on other international fronts. While he's said it's important for the U.S. to talk to its enemies, he's appointed a Secretary of State in Hillary Clinton who challenged him on that philosophy during the primary campaign. What in Obama's background suggests that he would be an effective diplomat to bring warring factions together internationally or in Congress over key domestic issues? On this edition of Peace Talks Radio, host Carol Boss and our guests will explore Barack Obama’s potential as a peacemaker in global and domestic affairs. Guests include David Mendell, author of the best-selling book Obama: From Promise To Power. As a former reporter for the Chicago Tribune, Mendell covered Obama’s rise through politics and offers a close-up view of the man’s conflict resolution skill set and history. Also on the program, Dr. Joseph Gerson, Ph.D., author and director of Programs of the American Friends Service Committee in New England. Finally, excerpts from a human rights conference put on by the Carter Center in Atlanta December of 2008. The aim of the two-day conference was to draw up a list of recommendations for the new president related to the struggle for human rights around the world. We’ll hear from Former President Jimmy Carter and others, and talk with Karin Ryan, director of the Carter Center's Human Rights Program, who organized and moderated the conference.
