God loves him some Obama (according to Karl Rove)

Celestial horns blasted from the pearly gates in celebration of Karl Rove’s recent disclose of God’s political leanings.  

  What surely came as a surprise to the evangelical Christians was God’s personal endorsement of Barack Obama.  In a Wall Street Journal op-ed Karl Rove said “This time, the October surprise was not a dirty trick but an act of God. Hurricane Sandy interrupted Mr. Romney's momentum and allowed Mr. Obama to look presidential and bipartisan.”  

Nay, beyond endorsed - God personally sent hurricane “Sandy” to assure his most favored candidate victory.

I hope Obama's victory blessed by God, in fact orchestrated by God will put an end to a lot of rhetoric about Obama’s presidency.  By all means everyone is entitled to their opinion but you cannot question the legitimacy of his presidency.  Obama won with the majority of popular votes in both elections .

 It is difficult to not wonder when in traveling in rural predominantly white areas about the number of anti-Obama signs and their messages.  

 “Obama’s not my president” or  “America vs Obama”.  I don't recall during the Bush years signs indicating that he wasn’t the president or that somehow he wasn’t an American or that he stood alone against 311,591,917 of his fellow citizens.  If you don't believe me about the overwhelming increase in signs then google anti-obama signs (64 million hits) and anti-bush signs (3 million hits).  Numbers don't lie.  The underlying message is different.

When they say Americans are against Obama are they referring to the 69 million people that voted for Obama in 2008?  The Obama who won by 9,549,105 votes in 2008?  Would they be referring to the Obama who just won by the same popular vote margin as W did in 2004.  George won 286 electoral votes in that election.  Obama just won with 332 electoral votes.

I wonder if there isn't a hint of racism behind the anti-American bias to Obama. There discrimination when Bill O'Reilly claims that 50% of the Americans who voted for Obama want something.  I voted for Obama in 2004 and 2012.   I don't want anything.  In fact to the contrary, I'm willing to pay higher taxes to reduce the deficit and provide a safety net for people, improve decaying infrastructure, improve our school systems, finance a Manhattan project for clean energy, combat global warming.  Each and every one of those items directly or indirectly improves my life and that of every other American.  And for those who say fine go ahead and pay more you are the one who wants something for nothing.

Karl Rove - Bush's Brain

The last person on earth I expected to legitimize Obama's victory was "Bush's Brain".  Certainly this should give manna for thought for right wing Christians. Obama's victory was not only blessed by God but apparently orchestrated.  Right-wing Christians must embrace God's own plan or fear eternal damnation.  There only out from that logic would be if Karl Rove was referring to a different God. Perhaps the God Karl was referring to has a name that is very close to being a cool palindrome if not for that needless H.  Manna for thought.
