Steven Spielberg

This was an interesting piece on Steven Spielberg by 60 Minutes a couple of weeks ago.  I found much of it fascinating that this small, insecure, loner kid continued to press on and become, well, Steven Spielberg the Hollywood legend.  What an incredible mind he has and as we all know, such incredible talent.

My heart was saddened by many of his recounts of his childhood as I love the Jews and all those who stand with Israel so to hear him talk of being persecuted was troubling.  I also loved seeing the interview with his parents; sad their marriage didn't make it.  I can only imagine how many years they could have been married.

But why I am posting anything about this matter at all is that Spielberg decided not to release his newest movie, Lincoln, until after the elections.  Why?  Did he paint such a great picture of Lincoln, a Republican, that he didn't want voters to go to the polls and vote against Obama, a democrat?  Why would he hold the release date?

If he did hold the release of the movie to help "save the election" for Obama, than this is indeed troubling to me as I don't understand how Spielberg (a Jew) could support Obama when Obama wouldn't even meet with Bebe Netanyahu over the matter of Iran and Israel.  In fact, Obama has never even visited Israel in all his travels to the middle east his entire presidency.  How can an American president miss visiting our greatest friend and ally in the middle east when he has traveled there several times unless he clearly doesn't like them?  It is clear that many in the Middle East have far from fond affections toward Israel or Jews in general, yet is Spielberg won't release his movie before the elections as to not upset the country.   Troubling indeed.

I look forward to his new movie and I continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for God's beloved Israel and for the Jewish people (wherever they live), and for the Jewish nation and with that, I pray for these elections. My bible is clear on how God views, His beloved Israel and if God loves them, you know I certainly do too and will stand with them.
