Psalm 109:8–A Prayer for Obama

There’s a new slogan making its way onto car bumpers and across the Internet: “Pray for Obama: Psalm 109:8.” The verse reads “May his days be few; may another take his office.” Beliefnet’s “Psalm 109:8–A Prayer for Obama” says the “Prayer for Obama” is meant to “entreat God to destroy the president.” Is this prayer a call for violence against the President? Does it accord with Christian principles?

On the Rachel Maddow show Frank Schaeffer warns against fundamentalist christians wanting to harm President Obama (YouTube).
