I really didn't think I was a prophet -thanks Michele Bachmann!!

“I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians,” Bachmann said to supporters. “We've had an earthquake; we’ve had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?"

Wow! Just the day after I wrote my previous Conversation, my husband read this quote to me from the web. Of course Bachmann's representative later retracted her statement as   just a "joke." But I'm not so sure. And probably many people heard it and believed it.

You don't think she was possibly joking?

No, I think it was part of a prepared talk not adlib. And as a prepared statement I am sure she weighed it carefully, knowing that a certain audience would take it absolutely literally, and then planning  a "retraction" to cover her bases with the more intellectually enlightened. But then again, I could be wrong.

Sadly, you were right about it so far.
