Perhaps Obama is the "Chosen One" after all?

According to the Associated Press, several Catholic African Bishops attending a Vatican conference are of the opinion that the election of Barrack Obama as Presidient f the United States may have been a sign from God!

"If the election of a black as head of the United States of America was a divine sign and a sign from the Holy Spirit for the reconciliation of races and ethnic groups for peaceful relations ... this synod and the universal church would gain from not ignoring this primordial event of contemporary history which is far from being a banal game of political alliances", said the archbishop of Kinshasa, Congo, Monsignor Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya.

Archbishop Gabriel Charles Palmer-Buckle of Accra, Ghana said "We believe God has his own plans. God directs history...It's like the biblical story repeating itself,"  citing the Old Testament figure Joseph, who after being sold into slavery in Egypt ends up becoming a top official.
