How disgusting (even as a joke)! No matter how much you dislike a political opponent, nothing justifies such dumb phrases. He should resign.

Psalm 109:8:
Let his days be few; Let another take his office.

And the problem with this Bible passage is?  Are Republicans supposed to hope Obama gets another term?

And the next verse goes like this: "Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow"

So a senator just asked from a bunch of people to pray a death curse against the president.
Pretty classy as I said.

He explicitly named Psalm 109:8, not Psalm 109:9.

Yeah, context is never important.  Hence the beauty in cherrypicking, which conservative Christians are masters at.

I don't understand how he could have even meant "as President."

He has less than a year left of his second term.

Like, seriously.

To be fair, this is pretty clearly referring to his days in office. Though why he'd bother to "pray" for it when he has a fixed number of days left is anyone's guess. Unless he dabbles in the "Obama will declare martial/sharia law and install himself as Ayatollah" conspiracy theories.

For f***s sake it's obvious he wasn't calling for the President's death. Grasp at some other straws red (and fake green) avatars.

Again, why would you pray for somebody to have "few days", whose term already has a fixed end date?  It makes no sense any other way that what we're inferring.

The appropriate verse for this discussion is John 11:35.
