WASHINGTON (AP) -- Closing out a tumultuous year, President Barack Obama sought to lay the groundwork Friday for his last year in office by vowing not to fade in the background but instead use his remaining months to push longstanding goals to fruition.

"In 2016, I'm going to leave it all out on the field," he said. "Wherever there's an opportunity, I'm going to take it."

Wow, looking back I see I should have included verse 4.


Matthew 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
Matthew 16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
Matthew 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
Matthew 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

"Three days and three nights" is not the sign here. It's a sailor's warning.

Taking one step back in the process, in looking at verses (1-3, and 4) together, why did Jonah end up in the water in the first place?!

The storm. The *sailors* were desperate to calm the seas.

Jonah 1:11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
Jonah 1:12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
Jonah 1:13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
Jonah 1:14 Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.
Jonah 1:15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.

I sometimes wonder if the Secret Service monitors FR

If those effin' goofballs considered my post #3 to be some sort of 'threat', then they better take it up with the Almighty and his unregistered and rapid fire lightning bolts, I've got nothing to do with that.

Or they can just stop by and see me anytime:

Mark Jessup
Greenbrier County,
West-By-God-Virginia

If they need more data than that to find me, then they're all a bunch of incompetent no-accounts.

Wow, is right! I'm going to have to do a bunch more thinking now, about your epiphany.

I don't know of if anyone has connected the two, like you have just now.

Obama will be behind the scenes and on every TV channel until the day he dies. NO WAY his ego will let his revolution go on without him. He has infected every level of government with young minions that will do exactly what he wants. Unless a brave republican gets in office and fires every single government employee the Obamanation will continue.

Here’s hoping.

Wherever there’s an opportunity he will take it. No need to work so hard Mr. president cuz wherever there’s an opportunity for you the GOP, Lyin Ryan, and farthead McConnel will just hand it to you. So just sit back, relax. You might not even have to ask. I’m sure they know your desires and are working hard to see to it you get what you covet.

You see what I mean?! Once you start thinking these things through, you *really* see that

The sailors were desperate to calm the sea.

Sailors are skilled sea travelers/navigators, experts in the laws of the sea so to speak.

They first tried to apply their own understanding, tossing supplies overboard, attempting to row to land, but..

Sure puts a whole lot of goings on in the NT to new light.

"Wherever there's an opportunity, I'm going to take it."

One more year left in his plan to transform America into a third world country.
