They can do what they like, but there is no way that God or Jesus would be involved in politics. I don't care what they believe, but it shows the drinking of the kool-aid is all.

There is the story my friend of the time when Obama turned a bottle of water into Kool Aid and those who were with him drank from the Kool Aid and then...... Oh well it will all be published soon for those who are interested.

Don't count on it. Obama will have to be an exceptional president in order to save this country. While Obama does seem to be highly intelligent, diplomatic, thoughtful, inspirational and talented; I think it is too much for one man to overcome. However, I would say that if America does have a chance, the right kind of person is definitely in place. Obama gives America a chance.

Then there's this, depending on how one interprets it:

Quote:
Romans 13:1 (New International Version)

1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
So, if that's the case, not only Obama, but also George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford... and so on, were all, um, I wouldn't call them gifts, but simply put in place by God?
Sure, we can vote, but maybe there's some divine intervention going on during each election. I don't know. Make of it what you will.

Why yes I do. I have always said that I hated both parties. I didn't vote for Obama or McCain because I don't drink the partisan political kool-aid.

Not that miraculous since most of the media was and is pro-Obama.
