I recently have seen some right-wingers or Christian fundies promoting a “prayer” for President Obama using the Tanakh scripture psalm 109:8. This “prayer”, if it can even be called that, is a plea that “may his days be few; may another take his office.”

Psalm 109:8 is being offered as a legitimate source for entreaty to the god of the fundies, because they apparently think that the psalmist was asking his god for the same result. I suspect that many of these misguided fundies are reading the KJV, and not only because the KJV is the preferred bible of most fundies I’ve met.
