Under a photograph of Barack
Obama laying a wreath at the tomb of Martin Luther King Jr. (posted at 2:45
today), there is the following headline:
"At King's Church, Obama Speaks of Unity." Then the caption for
the photo: "Senator Barack Obama, with Coretta Scott King, laid a wreath
at the tomb of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr after speaking at Atlanta's Ebenezer
Baptist Church." Look at the picture: the woman to his left does look
a bit like Mrs. King. But she died on January 30, 2006.

It's the first miracle.
Verify two more and we have a saint.
I bet he turns water into whines next.

I know Obama has the support of the black community, but on the original headline, he really has it.

CRS9TNR, it is water in to wine silly, get your bible facts straight. I leave the whining to Bill and Hillary: the press is against us...boo hoo...
And after Hillary's supposed greatness weakness, she is impatient is wanting to help America be saved by her, I wonder who has the messiah complex. Obama, meanwhile has a messy desk, not the first sign of a saint by any measure, or more the sign of a normal human being.
