This man was showed on the news asking people to 'pray for rain' for the disruption, or at least the inconvenience, of Obama's [outdoor] acceptance speech.  Didn't happen....weather was perfect.  I don't feel the Republicans are being 'punished', but isn't it ironic?  I bet this guy feels like an idiot.....he sure looks like one.

I've always known that God has a sense of humor.....and bet He also doesn't like to be used in political gimmics.

I hemmed & hawwed all morning about posting a similar post. Apparently, there was a plan with some evangelicals to pray for a terrible rainstorm on the eve of Obama's acceptance speech. Looks like God has a sense of humor after all.

  • In the religion I grew up in, we were taught to LOVE everybody... not to wish bad stuff on others. You know, the 'do onto others as you'd have them do onto you' philosophy. A long time ago I decided that a lot of self-described 'religious' people were big hypocrites. This illustrates my point. Nobody - religious or not - should go around wishing bad luck on anybody else. eom/faysie

    Talk about karma. Only wish on others what you'd wish for yourself.

    I would think the perfect weather for Obama's speech might have been an omen of things to come.  Like maybe a 'message' from God, the Democrats aren't so bad. LOL  Sounds like McSame and Palin are going to try and capitalize on Gustave and give a campaign speech from the scene of the disaster..(if there is one).  Anything for ratings but if I were in the path of Gustav, the LAST thing I'd need or want is some politician coming and trying to make some points at my expense.  My heart goes out to the people in the path of that storm.  I pray, by some miracle, the storm lessens before it makes landfall.
