Rather than an anachronism, wicked leaders are the reflection of the culture they come from. Hence, a wicked generation produces corrupt political leaders after its own kind just as a righteous generation produces good and moral leaders.
Here's an agricultural analogy that Jesus Christ used to explain that premise: "Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." (Matthew 7:16-19)
Thus, America has been increasingly burdened with wicked leaders in recent decades because she has become Christ's proverbial bad tree that produces bad fruit. In this case, the bad fruit becomes a metaphor for the wicked leaders that have come from the bad tree. Certainly, President Barack Obama is just another wicked leader in a long line of wicked American leaders who have been dishonest, unholy, impure and arrogant. We have had presidents who were adulterers, fornicators, liars, thieves, disloyal to their nation and even pseudo-Christians who practiced the occult in violation of the faith they claimed to profess. It's well known that former President Ronald Reagan, who claimed to be a Christian and is still considered the patron saint of conservatism, sought the advice of psychics and astrologers in order to make policy decisions that affected the United States.
A wicked culture produces political leaders who see God as nothing beyond an empty culture statement that takes place on Saturdays and Sundays. And yet, it was Christ who revealed that it is God himself who bestows power on political leaders. (John 19:11) But if God bestows political power from above, then why does he bestow it upon wicked leaders? Because he gives the people the type of leaders that their wicked hearts desire. Therefore, America has been cursed with wicked leaders such as Barack Obama because America has asked for wicked leaders such as Barack Obama.
If Americans want deliverance from dishonest and wicked rulers such as Barack Obama, then they need to repent rather than seek deliverance from dead, corporate religion. The Lord gave us this antidote for deliverance from vile and wicked rulers when he spoke to King Solomon after Solomon had dedicated the Jewish Temple to Him in Jerusalem: "When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:13-14)
Repentance begins with acknowledgement of sin. America's sins are legion and they are severe. Since 1973, the United States has slaughtered over 40 million babies through its abortion industry. In recent years, an increasing number of states have legalized same sex marriage while many more have recognized "civil unions" which is a euphemism for same sex cohabitation. America's public schools openly promote homosexuality under the banner of "sex education" and America's entertainment industry glorifies murder, sadomasochism, violence and fornication. And all this is a direct result of America's abandonment of her Judeo-Christian roots in favor of a godless, secular culture that mocks God and spurns his laws and commandments.
So, America has come to a moral crossroad in her existence; Americans can either begin acknowledging and repenting of their sins, or they can ignore them and continue down the road toward God's judgment and the eventual destruction of their nation.
And so, here's a prophecy: On November 6, God will examine our hearts and determine whether we are corporately ready to repent or not. If we are willing to repent, then Barack Obama will be defeated on that day. If we aren't willing to repent, then God will honor the wicked desires of our hearts and award us with four more years of Barack Obama. Certainly, Republican candidate Mitt Romney isn't the messiah; but he's the better moral choice compared to Obama. Thus, we will indeed learn our fate on November 6. Until that day, we had better start repenting, and earnestly.
