May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.

Whatever version of the Bible you read...it's in there! Could the reference be to Obama? It all depends how fervent a believer you are...

I kind of like this one also, (from the King James version): "For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue." Sounds just like Obama doesn't it?

The Winds of CHANGE that Scot Brown has so far begun are about to become a full force Gale by Nov 2010. The kind of Gale that is needed to get the PROGRESSIVE Fascist out of Office across the Board!!! and may be even but them a one way ticket to KENYA!!!

Scott Brown's landslide win over Martha Coakley was like the "Shot heard round the world." The folks in "The People's Republic of Massachusetts" were getting tired of the rubber stamp political hacks who ignore their constituents while they persue far Left progressive Socialist agendas. So now Obama can go back to Washington D.C. with his tail between his legs, while suffering poor credibility, to try and come up with another good excuse as to what went wrong in his failure to rally the folks in Boston. Of course, when in doubt of being able to come up with a credable excuse to another embarrassing failure again,---why--just blame Bush.

I believe that this verse could be very prominent amoung some religious people. I can understand why they would see it as a possible prayer or a source of meditation. However, I would put this to them...do we want the second in command or possibly the second person in line to take his place. Neither would have the back bone to stand against what has been put in place since last year. And we already know their feelings against the American people and obviously the founders of this great nation

I think I will just stick with...God Bless the United States of America.
