Re Romans 13 - Those who claim God instituted govt NEVER apply this to Bill Clinton or Obama admin

Got blank stares when I asked Religious Right colleague why this passage applied to W but not to Clinton.

Also asked why passage didn't mean that colonists were acting against god when they rose up against England. We were in a work environment in which the American Revolution was considered to have been blessed by god.
