President Obama likes to play God sometimes, just in order to annoy Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin: Not impeaching Barack Obama "affront to God", he "wants to play God"

Uploaded by PalinGrifter2012

Published on Jul 19, 2014

Sarah Palin said a lot of crazy things in her speech at the "Western Conservative Summit" at Colorado Christian University on July 19, 2014, but this is probably the craziest part. In other parts of the speech, she accused Obama to be a mobster and a murderer.

Please go to Patrick's article at the link below. It's got all of the dirt you forgot about Sarah:

Sarah Palin: Look, we know you are stupid and insane.

We know that you are a notorious rabble-rouser.

We know that you hate anyone who doesn't adore you.

We know that Democrats started to love you, because you have turned into their secret weapon.

There is a lot more we know about you...

We are now eagerly awaiting God's press release in this matter.

Report linked to the video:

'If he's not impeachable, no one is': Sarah Palin pounds Obama on immigration policy and compares him to a 'mob boss' who 'wants to play God'

Tuesday, Jul 29th 2014

* Former VP candidate blasts the president for 'dereliction of duty' in 'amnesty' plan
* 'There's only one remedy for a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors, and it's impeachment'
* 'Gang-bangers and terrorists' are mixed in with children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, she said; 'We're offering to take care of them'
* 'We had a revolution in 1776 because we don't do kings,' she shouted, saying Obama has made himself 'a ruler, not a president'
* Palin spoke to the Western Conservative Summit in Denver

Sorry for the source, but they're no worse than Palin and you won't have to listen to her voice:

Water is more essential to civilization then anything else and Michigan's not exactly a desert, huh.

22. Obama For Ruler Of The Galaxy!

Daily Caller reporters' book delves into Obama lizard conspiracy

The truth is out there — and it involves President Obama and the lizardmen.

In a new ebook, two reporters for The Daily Caller website stumble upon Obama's "intergalactic" ambitions.

From the Amazon.com book description of "The Lizard King: The Shocking Inside Account of Obama's True Intergalactic Ambitions by an Anonymous White House Staffer," by Jamie Weinstein and William Rahn:

"What if every farfetched conspiracy theory about Barack Obama turned out to be true? Two reporters for the The Daily Caller received an unsolicited manuscript in the mail, the diary of a former Obama administration political operative. What they read stunned them. "The Lizard King" describes a White House where the reality is more surreal, and comically bizarre, than anything its most fervent enemies have alleged. Tasked by David Axelrod with debunking right wing rumors about the president, the narrator embarks on a journey that takes him from Washington to Moscow to the tribal areas of Pakistan in search of the real Barack Obama. His findings leave him shocked, his political ideology in tatters and his understanding of the world forever changed."

http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/09/daily-caller-reporters-book-delves-into-obama-lizard-135993.html

Please don't shoot the messenger. I'm just trying to find where Obama can find the power to do all of these things. It'd be pretty cool, I think!

Obama can't just "turn on the water". He can't just order mayors to do things. He can't just pass laws and appropriate funding on his own without Congress. Nor would I ever want him to be able to do so.
