The nation of Israel was/is to be a holy nation, separate from the profane (common). The mixing in with the Gentiles was the mixing of the holy with the profane. The gross idolatry of the northern tribes started up the blender.

This election in particular is shaking the trees to see what fruits and nuts will drop off and rot.
Notice that the particular offenses of the first couple in the White Hut concern the abominable debasement of the office and the house. That is, they repeatedly choose to mix with common low-lifes, or degrade the dignity (separateness) or their position by slumming on the "entertainment" shows or wolfing down greasy fast food with all the class and refinement of hogs at the trough. Or how about Michelle telling the world that her husband's breath stinks or that she wishes she were Beyonce.
This is all purposed to magnify and teach the difference between the holy and the profane. A filthy Obamaville of Babylonish mixture, or a home that is clean on the inside and out.
America is in the valley of decision, and a wall of water is headed right through.
America, formed out of a gathering out of the nations.
Israel, formed out of a gathering out of the nations.
These two at the core of their beings just aren't like the other nations. Key targets of the rest of the world, though, to force them to mix with filth and become like the other nations.
