Yes indeed. And so for all subsequent presidents, be they Republican or Democratic, the stage is now set...and no one's presidency will any longer be off-limits (in the previous time-honoured fashion).
But for now I only intend to follow up upon some stuff I alluded to in a very recent blogpost re Barack Obama and succinctly state that Obama himself signally failed to uphold the United States' proud, centuries' old traditions vis-a-vis the Christian religion and its adherents. And this has had a major bearing upon how once Obama-supporting evangelicals in America have subsequently not only questioned, even eschewed Obama's legacy, but have largely and consequently embraced that of Trump.
Though I've no doubt that both he and wife Michelle were hardly the gun-totin', Islamist terrorists once portrayed by 'The New Yorker' on an infamous cover story back during Presidential Campaign 2008 - let alone even being secret Muslims - on (*at least) two major counts Christians of whatever stripes throughout the US of A had just grounds for not only concern but positive alarm during his two-term tenure. And I don't refer here to yet another matter - i.e. Obama lending his personal support to doing away with America's (and the World's) ages-old endorsement and exaltation of the (publicly-celebrated) union of a man and a woman as being the only proper (and indeed just) basis of a marital covenant/commitment, let alone for raising well-balanced and thriving children.
After which Parliaments throughout the Western world quickly fell into lockstep and hastily rammed through - legislatively where possible (without much public feedback let alone say as in a binding decision via a referendum), or otherwise did hold such a referendum (as in Ireland) - new laws to allow for 'gay marriage': France, the United Kingdom and New Zealand being three nations which readily spring to recollection. My point being that all that ground-breaking change was based upon or inspired by - given momentum through - was President Obama's supposed (midterm) Damascus Road experience whereby he no longer saw why homosexuals' 'tying the knot' was any big deal.
As noted Creation Scientist Ken Ham explained in a recent Sunday morning 'Cue' (Hope Channel)
sermon/lecture, Obama unilaterally eschewed America's time-honoured Christian heritage (while embracing some new, amorphous 'multicultural' amalgam) upon taking office (as revealed in his various books/writings upon such matters around/prior to that time, thus 'putting on the table' his own 'manifesto' for office. That's his first major sin vis-a-vis Christendom. And the second?
He subsequently abandoned/forsook the persecuted-to-the- death Christian sufferers of genocidal extermination throughout both the Middle East and the (Asian and African) world generally - throughout his eight-year tenure. And so Barack Hussein Obama can hardly feign surprise that his 'fellow' American Christians have subsequently turned to, even positively embraced, Donald J Trump as their national 'saviour'. Despite his obvious as shortcomings.
*Though the - ultimately thwarted - attempt to enforce Federal Government mandated-contraception via unwilling Catholic hospitals is doubtless another (example of such gross spitting in the face of America's Christian community)...if just for completely violating the oft-cited principle of the American Constitution both prohibiting the establishment of religion and/or forbidding the free exercise thereof.
