Whether you like Obama or not, see this wonderfully written column by Gerard Baker in today?s London Times.  

It starts out:

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of
the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.

The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant.
And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.
