If Obama was like, "A pipeline in Alaska? That's not what God told me last night!" would there be a religion fight? Is it politically viable to argue that no, God is on my side, not theirs? Who would know? Both sides have preachers that would back them up, though admittedly the right has a bigger audience for that sort of thing.

As long as no one's talking about the issues anyway, can't they at least make wild claims of religious certitude?
