奧巴馬的遭遇

【傳道書4章13-16】貧窮而有智慧的少年人，勝過年老不肯納諫的愚昧王。這人是從監牢中出來做王；在他的國中，生來原始貧窮的。我見日光之下一切行動的活人，都隨從那第二位，就是起來代替老王的少年人。他所治理的眾人，就是他的百姓，多得無數。在他後來的人，尚且不喜悅他。這真是虛空，也是捕風。

Better is a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king, who will no longer take advice.  One can indeed come out of prison to reign, even though born poor in the kingdom.  I saw all the living who, moving about under the sun, follow that youth who replaced the king; there was no end to all those people whom he led.  Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him.  Surely this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

想想也是啊，布希和麥肯恩不就是你年老不肯納諫的愚昧王嗎？奧巴馬不就是那貧窮而有智慧的少年人嗎？最終人們還是不喜悅他。這一起都是虛空。
