It wasn't God who "appointed" Obama. It was the American electorate. (How can one blame God for human acts?)

I'm not "blaming" God for anything. I am merely acknowledging his sovereignty. Do you believe that if God didn't want Obama to be the president that the American People could have negated God's sovereign will by voting for someone that God did not want to be there? Are you that convinced of the power of the people over the power of God?

No I am firmly of the belief that sometimes God gives us what we want to teach us a lesson. In this case the American People wanted Obama so God gave him to us. If this is a cosmic joke, then the joke is on us.

I don't blame God for any of the unfortunate circumstances that I find myself in. On the other hand, I give thanks to God for all those circumstances knowing that all things work together for good to those who believe. In that sense I believe we will someday thank God for cursing us with Obama as our ruler. Whatever happens this November is going to be what God ordained to happen. If you think that God's will can be undone by the votes of the electorate, then you have more faith in Humanity than you do in God.

Somehow I think you haven't really thought this through clearly. I know you have spent a lot of time thinking about it, but I suspect you made up your mind before you started coming up with reasons to support Romney. What it boils down to is that you want Obama gone. I want him gone too. But I also want God's will to be done. Sometimes God's will is painful.

In the past, God has manifestly blessed America.... But do we deserve His blessings nowadays?

Looking around at our society, a society which (with the blessings of Romney) has murdered over 55 million innocent babies in the last generation - a nation which literally murdered its last generation - can you give me one good reason why America "DESERVES" anything from God other than Judgment?

Are we going to mollify God's wrath by casting our lot with a man who was (for the last generation) a vocal proponent of a "woman's right" to murder her unborn child or who has advocated for special rights and privileges for homosexuals including the "right" to marry and to adopt children?

I think not.

Will there be enough Americans unwilling to cast their lot with either of these pro-abortion candidates to postpone or turn God from the Judgment and wrath of God for our collective sins?

I don't know. I hope so.

God was willing to spare Sodom if Abraham could find but a handful of righteous men. Yet Sodom was destroyed. Does America "deserve" better? Maybe. God only knows.

So maybe God sometimes gives us something we don't want, to "teach us a lesson?"

Or are you prepared to rule such a thing out of the question, in principle?

Do you hold yourself forth as an expert in "what God wants?"

Personally, I think I have a pretty good idea, generally speaking. But as to how the details work out, I am as ignorant as you.
