Michelle Bachmann decided to make some interesting inferences in Iowa this weekend with regard to God and natural disasters. Apparently, the GOP Presidential Candidate believes that God is trying to get a message across to the politicians in Washington D.C. by causing natural disasters such as Hurricane Irene.
According to Bachmann's line of thinking, God is not happy with America's fiscal condition. She said, "I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending." Seriously...
At the end of Bachmann's speech, she offered up a prayer for Iowa, Washington's debt talks, and President Obama. “Oh Father God, I thank you that we are privileged to be here this morning in Iowa, one of the most beautiful states I've ever been privileged to be in. Lord, we hear you, Father, in the thunder. We lift up our president to you today. We lift up the Supreme Court. We lift up the senators. We lift up the house members, Lord, as they grapple with this issue of how they deal with the finances for our nation.”
