Obama 'appointed by God'

Obama was “appointed by God”, we are instructed by a man boasting academic credentials. Writing in the Orlando Sentinel, Jeremy Levitt, “associate dean for International Programs and a distinguished professor of international law at Florida A&M University College of Law in Orlando,” makes this case at the conclusion of a rambling attack on critics of ObamaCare and the right in general:

I thought he was God’s Partner in matters of life and death?

This is getting confusing.

i bet he didnt think GWB was appointed from God, if we’re applying the same logic here, and this man teaches kids, just like Ayers. What a sorry state we are in. When the GOP take back the house and senate, first order should be to remove these idiots from positions of indoctrination.

It sounds suspiciously like the "Devine Right of Kings" claimed by medieval absolute monarchs.

That "right" vanished in the Common Law long before the Jonathans started the tax revolt that resulted in the United States of America. Even George III did not claim it.

As to power deriving from God, this author obviously either did not read the founding documents of the United States or he is willfully blind to them.

The US revolutionary dogma is that power does indeed derive from God, but it is devolved not directly to government, or to the executive thereof, but to the people who then lend it, grudgingly, to their various local, state and national governing bodies.

The author is right if one is to believe the scripture. All leaders are appointed by God. That doesn't make them good leaders or even “godly” leaders. It simply means they are appointed to bring about God's plan. But to say people cannot be critical of leaders (and health care) because they are appointed by God is ludicrous. Elijah had no problem in being critical to Ahab nor did Moses have a problem complaining to Pharaoh.

If the left would understand scripture a bit better they would repent and become conservatives.

A god? Only if you want to call the illegitimate idiot child of Satan and Dumbo the elephant a “god”.

[Dem Guard]

I would remind the far right what the Apostle Paul wrote, “ ... there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” Hence, Obama is the U.S. president and leader of the Free World because he was appointed by God.

Ya right buddy! Really insightful. You could say the same think about Hitler, Jimmy Carter or anybody....God really
believes Obama is the one guy we really need now.....not!!

Exactly, HarleyD. My first thought was, "Yup, appointed by God, as PUNISHMENT!"

And he plans on sacrificing the elderly to his Moloch.

[Raycpa]

Well said.

[melsec]

Already sacrificing the unborn so it’s not too much of a stretch in his sort of thinking!

Even Jesus accepted the authority that God put over Him:

John 19: 10-11

Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

11Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

This clown needs to check himself into the nearest rehab center for a little down time. He seems mentally exhausted.
