The upcoming presidential election reminds me of the lists learned in history class when preparing for a test. The list of Kings of Israel from 1020-587 BC could be summed up by the simple description of "Bad King, Good King". And if I remember my history correctly, the less the people believed in God, the more bad kings they got.
Then there was the list of Roman Emperors post Augustus Caesar. Same thing: Good Emperor, Bad Emperor. And the more dependent the citizens were on public welfare, the more bad emperors they got.
Seeing a pattern here? Are we getting to the point in history where our president's terms can be distilled down to the simple "Good President, Bad President" list? And are we on the path to deserving more bad than good? Frankly, I'm praying for a miracle.
