Mr. Obama's November Surprise
American Thinker ^ | 10/17/2014 | Ken Blackwell

The phrase “October Surprise” has a long history in American politics. It refers to that event, policy, or government statement that changes everything in advance of the famous “first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.” That was the Founders’ quaint way of describing Election Day.

One famous example of an October Surprise was the announcement on October 26, 1972 by National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger that “we believe that peace is at hand” in the long, drawn out negotiations to end American involvement in the Vietnam War. President Nixon was headed to a landslide victory that year against the hapless Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. George McGovern (SD). But the Kissinger statement seemed to most observers to “put the election on ice.” Twelve days after Kissinger’s statement, Richard Nixon carried every state except Massachusetts. He even carried McGovern’s own home state of South Dakota.

Well, now we have another surprise coming – but not until November. That’s because President Obama’s HHS Department doesn’t want to upset the apple cart prior to crucial midterm elections. Only in November will Americans learn how much their health care costs will rise after the implementation of President Obama’s “signature” legislative accomplishment, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.

Of course, the administration doesn’t admit that it is waiting until after voters cast their November ballots to give them a nasty post-election “surprise.” As the Washington Times notes, there are some states in which word is already leaking out. Those happen to be states with hotly contested Senate contests.

SURPRISE: EBOLA's RAMPING UP, and less than 1 % of people show up to vote.

Read Isaiah 6 (pay special attention to verses 8 through 13) .
The Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible (Complete) offers some good information and insight into it.

Now consider the number of people destroyed in percentages in verse 13 ("a tenth" , and I believe that 90% of the people were destroyed) .
Now consider just how many people and animals the deadly Ebola and the Deadly Enterovirus-D68 will destroy before those plagues will be eradicated from the United States.

Now take a read on Ezekiel 7 (especially verse 24) and the final destruction of the House of Israel (not the nation of today named Israel, but the United States of America, and Great Britain).

We're in very deep trouble.

Maybe Ebolagate will become an October surprise for the rats.

Hey, Democrats,

Did you know that Ebola is spread primarily by keyboards on electronic voting machines?

“Hey, Democrats,

Also, they can catch Ebola by using their free Obama Cell Phones and EBT cards.

cancell elections due to Ebola? It could happen! Obama could appoint new congresspeople—all Democrat/Socialists. They he could finish his plan. That or IS will blast the USA and that will be the cause of the Cancelled elections.
He might even run for a 3rd Term—dispite the Constution—when has that stopped him? Or cancell the 2016 election and become President-or-life as they do in some backwater nations. Nothing will surprise me.
