What Do We Do About Mr. O.?

My wife, Betty and I we were discussing Pres. Obama's speech this morning at the U.N.
We had just listened to a Joyce Meyer program about children around the world - that go hungry and are diseased and die - with no hope and who are sold into slavery, especially, as sex-slaves - and how prevalent it is. She made a passionate plea for us to do something about it. She didn't ask for our $ - but just for Christians to stand up and do something.
Then we walked into another room where on TV - Pres. Obama was giving his speech before the U.N., and in my estimation, was tearing down the United States - and its goodness.
Our Country has been sending aid throughout the world to help the hungry and destitute long before Mr. Obama was born. And, here is this man - standing before dictators and leaders of other countries - some that are causing famine and disease and facilitating the sex-slave trade and even killing their own people - like in Uganda. And, here's our President pulling down the USA and in turn - stating how much he has accomplished in the past nine months - what pride!!! Betty was even trying to give the man some leeway - and thought maybe he was really just being advised by evil men with Communistic agendas. But this too much - he's come off the tracks!!!
It's not time to just sit back and do nothing and say God will take care of it. We need to do what He tells us to do,in 2nd Chronicles 7:14 - which says,'....if my people, who are called by my name, will -
-humble themselves
-and pray
-and seek my face
-and turn from their wicked ways,
- then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.'
Will God take care of it - or, will He let the situation run its course until His people stand in the gap like He told us to?
