Or is it logical to conclude that God does not hand pick every single leader and that people are justified at times for overthrowing oppressors?
What about ISIS? Is God ordaining them to conquer and kill? You seem to be implying that every strong arm thug that can slaughter his way into power is ordained by God and that resisting them in any way is akin to the "spirit of Korah". Was it wrong then for people to flee the iron curtain to freedom? Was their fleeing an act of rebellion against the authority God set over them?
Who is the "ruler" in this country? We have "separation of powers". Obama is not the ruler here. He simply leads one branch of government. But you seem to think that if he sets himself up as dictator we are in rebellion against God if we resist. Respectfully, there are just too many holes in this line of reasoning for it to make sense.

Well, did the church remove King George? What I'm implying is that the church is not called to overthrow leaders of secular government.
He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry, and sets others in their place.
Here he appointed Pharaoh.
Exodus 9: 16 Darby Bible Translation
And for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth.
Is God not doing a good enough job for you rebels?
Oh my!!
