奥巴马的遭遇

【传道书4章13-16】贫穷而有智慧的少年人，胜过年老不肯纳谏的愚昧王。这人是从监牢中出来做王；在他的国中，生来原始贫穷的。我见日光之下一切行动的活人，都随从那第二位，就是起来代替老王的少年人。他所治理的众人，就是他的百姓，多得无数。在他后来的人，尚且不喜悦他。这真是虚空，也是捕风。

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，布什和麦肯恩不就是你年老不肯纳谏的愚昧王吗？奥巴马不就是那贫穷而有智慧的少年人吗？最终人们还是不喜悦他。这一起都是虚空。
