Huffington Post had an article "Michele Bachmann Says Hurricane Irene and Earthquake Are Divine Warnings To Washington", Jon Ward, 2011-08-29.
The quote is "I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?'"
The article has an update that the campaign was claimed it was a joke. The above article has a link to "Michele Bachmann: It was a joke!", Politico, Alexander Burns, 2011-08-29.
First, Burns wrote should any politician joke about such serious matters where many people have died and problems of recovery are still ongoing.
Second, consider how many supporters of Bachmann take her every word seriously.
Third, if God is all-powerful, all-knowing, ever present, why does God communicate in such obscure ways? Shouldn't God be able to boom out in all the languages of the world any message God wants to send to people?
Oh, wait! I hear a faint voice. It's sounds tired and frustrated. It's saying the same thing over and over again. Ah ha! It is God, and she says, "Nobody understands me."
