I think it's more likely to be akin to when Israel clamored for a king and chose Saul, even though God warned them and had already chosen David.

As for God "choosing" leaders to do His will, people should pay close attention to things such as Revelation 17:17 where it reads -

(NKJV) For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.

Revelation 17:17 is talking about 10 kings of the earth. Powerful men, even if for a short time.

God let Israel suffer a bad king, but do people say that Saul was God's choice? David did acknowledge Saul as "God's Anointed" and refused to kill him on several occasions because of this, but Saul was most definitely NOT God's choice.

I'm betting that Obama is more likely to be one of the 10 who give their authority over to the beast. Let us not forget that his ilk fully endorse the murder of the unborn, homosexuality, and the denial of God. They will give sovereignty away in the name of "unity", and why not? It's in their nature!

Poorly directed free will is probably one of the most debilitating facets of human nature, and it is PRECISELY why we have the empty paper sack of a president elect that we have now.

“God let Israel suffer a bad king, but do people say that Saul was God’s choice? David did acknowledge Saul as “God’s Anointed” and refused to kill him on several occasions because of this, but Saul was most definitely NOT God’s choice.”

True.

The same was true of the selection of Mao Ze Dong in China, Hitler in Germany, and many other despots.

Nations who have taken their eyes off God and His word and make material things their idols, always eventually find a walking-talking god/idol. And God permits them to have their choice to teach them what they have become.

It’s also a lesson in what godless DEMOCRACY produces when a republic forgets that its founders insisted on a republican form of government, and so they begin using mob-action democracy to choose their leaders.
