Did y'all hear about the media director, Stuart Shepard, for James Dobsen's evangelical group, Focus on the Family Action, asking Dobsen's followers to pray that rain of Biblical Proportions fall on Barack Obama during his acceptance speech in Denver this week?


well... Keith Olbermann then annointed him as the Worst Person in the World for that request:


and then... after a flurry of protests about that video... it was pulled from the web...

Focus On Family Pulls Controversial Obama 'Rain' Video
Video Had Asked Prayers For 'Rain Of Biblical Proportions'

I don't really have any idea where the majority of Dobsen's followers live, but I imagine a good portion of them are southerners...

well... this thread isn't so much about the idiocy shown in the video but more about what has happened in Florida since that request was made August 11...

y'all hip to how much rain has fallen in Florida since Tropical Storm Fay came ashore and came ashore, and then came ashore and then, yes, came ashore again?

Any idea how much rain has fallen on the east coast of Florida?

Yes... biblical proportions have fallen... over 2 FEET of rain in some locales... and Fay still isn't done... after maintaining her tropical status while traversing the land portion of Florida TWICE, she has finally fallen back to a tropical depression but has reversed her direction and is now over Alabama and Georgia, dumping yes... more rain of Biblical proportions over the region commonly refered to as the Bible Belt...

So I have this question...

Does God want Obama to win?
