Amazing LTTE in Monday's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

No wonder people think Barack Obama has a messianic complex.

Jack Kelly quoted Michael Malone, the technology critic, in his Nov. 2 column "In the Tank for Obama." Mr. Malone's quote, "If the current polls are correct, we are about to elect as president a man who is essentially a cipher, who has left almost no paper trail, seems to have few friends (at least who will talk) and has entire years missing out of his biography."

I don't understand why this description of Barack Obama doesn't resonate with more right-wing Christian fundamentalists; this is as literal a description of Jesus Christ as I've heard in a long time.

Mr. Obama has a track record, he's been as overexposed as a candidate can be with today's "gotcha politics." It seems that 2.1 billion Christians have made a "leap of faith" with a whole lot less documentation than Mr. Obama has provided.

If you can put your faith in secondhand accounts from 2,000 years ago, you probably have enough faith to believe President-elect Obama's words of "change."
