Since Obama came to Washington DC, America has witnessed nature manifest itself on more than one occasion. Rodents scurry, flies swarm and a “ferocious blizzard‘” sends snow-laden branches crashing onto a cavalcade of presidential SUVs.
From a biblical point of view, one would be hard pressed to deny that pestilence, “lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds” are doing someone’s bidding, but that Someone does not appear to be President Obama.
Fittingly, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: In my wrath, I will unleash a violent wind, and in my anger, hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with destructive fury. (Ezekiel 13:3)
Lest Obama forget or care to acknowledge it, it is God that rules and reigns over everything. Lately, that reality is being repeatedly proven as wrathful communiqués are sent Obama’s way like lightning bolts destined for a telephone pole.
Let’s face it, Obama answers to no one. Yet America’s artificial messiah has yet to exhibit dynamic verbal dominion over conditions daring to interfere with his agenda. Whether huddled below a wind-blown umbrella or slapping a fly from his lip, of late, a defenseless Barack seems devoid of his pedestal.
On Memorial Day Obama flouted tradition and chose Chicago over custom. America’s high and mighty president flew home to the Windy City for the weekend. The plan: In lieu of Arlington National Cemetery, attend a perfunctory ceremony in Elwood, Illinois. The message: Obama acquiesces to no one.
As a result, an unambiguous message was sent to Barack. “He [who makes] darkness his covering…the dark rain clouds of the sky. Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning” and subsequently, Obama’s premeditated arrangements were rained out.
Thunderstorms had rolled in over Lincoln National Cemetery, prompting the Secret Service to pull the president from the ceremony amid fear for his safety. Obama, who was huddled under a white tent … Obama told the guests, some of whom had already started to flee, that he would wait … to see if the storm would pass. But it quickly worsened, turning into gusty winds and rain with frequent lightning and thunder, and the White House cancelled Obama’s appearance at the ceremony.
Could it be that He who rules creation is using the rain to inform self-perceived “omnipotent” Obama about who it is that truly reigns?
While 10% of America’s unemployed workforce languishes on an involuntary Obama-induced holiday, Barry is sharply criticized for taking one too many vacations. Discounting national disapproval, Barack decided once again to cast aside empathetic wisdom by slapping down an average year’s salary for a well-deserved nouveau-riche recess on Martha’s Vineyard.
The vacation started with the lagoon bordering the first family’s Blue Heron Farm being closed, “due to high levels of enterococci, an indicator that the water [was] contaminated with fecal coliform bacteria.” Following closely behind the bacteria-beach bulletin was a “fierce Nor’easter that knocked out power and blew down tree limbs on Martha’s Vineyard.” The “storm moved in … raking the island off Cape Cod with heavy rain and wind gusts.”
Obama’s plan was biking, hiking and fun in the “bluest corner of a bluest state.” One day after the family’s arrival, the Power that appears to be tracking the President wherever he goes unleashed a deluge that trapped America’s self-appointed sovereign indoors, playing $50,000 worth of Poker and Scrabble.
