Is it puzzling that a president who has overseen years of economic stagnation, rising unemployment, soaring energy costs, unprecedented waste, the decay of the real estate market, and an assault on the civil liberties of both Americans and non-Americans that goes beyond even the depredations of George W. Bush looks likely to get re-elected?
Not really. The idea that elections reflect the national mood is more myth than reality. At this time in 2004 few would have called Bush an inspiration or a deliverer of bounty. Unemployment wasn’t as bad as it is now, but it was an uncomfortable 6 percent. The last leg of a decades-long real-estate hyperinflation was just starting to ravage the economy. The pacification of Iraq was still in its pre-surge shambles. The same bellyaching about stagnant middle-class wages you hear all over the media today you heard back then.
Then the Democrats made the smart move and nominated the Bay State’s Mitt Kerry. Now the Republicans will also play it safe with the Bay State’s John Romney. I may not have those names exactly right, but you can see where this is heading.

Nope. I don't believe he's a lock to win AT ALL.
Listen to this song which seems to me prophetic. I only heard it yesterday but my spirit leapt because it dovetails with some revelations given to me on January 7 which surprised me considerably. I believe it also meshes with revelations given to Kim Clement in 2010 and 2011.

As an aside, I haven't seen such an attractive family singing together like that in a longtime. It seems almost like a throwback to times when values and morals were strong. There's something about this family and this video that's way more powerful spiritually than the song and the way they present it...
By the way, the two Harris girls in the video wrote the song on March 5th and by March 8th it's selling on Itunes and the youtube video has 474,000 hits. It's gone 'viral', also in terms of attracting hatred in youtube comments.
A disclaimer: I've never been a fan of Rick Santorum, backing Gingrich. However look at what his name is derived from in Latin. That's why the Satan has tried to twist the meaning of his name on google.
There's a huge spiritual war of good and evil going on here for the election outcome. God will overcome as per revelations given to those who are open. May His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
