5. I remember during the 08 campaign...

...when Obama planned a big outdoor speech in Colorado. I believe it was at a stadium, and there was a lot of set up involved. Obama was to speak in front of some columns meant to symbolize DC. The right-wing telephone lines blew up with all kinds of, "Who does he think he is, speaking in front of columns?! Does he think he is a God?"

And they all suggested that God would send a storm. I believe they prayed for it.

Turns out, it was one of the most beautiful nights in the history of beautiful nights. Clear skies, warm--with just a slight breeze. The stadium was packed and the speech was inspiring.

I've often wondered if those right-wingnuts thought about that for a moment. If they believe that God could send bad weather, couldn't he also send gorgeous weather? Hmmmm....wait. What?

Yeah, if a hurricane does hit, I'd love to hear what the wingnutters have to say about God--especially after Pat Robertson and so many others have made comments about God sending earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis to people who deserved it.

Idiots.
