Obama the lightworker #2
Andrew Bolt
It’s not just journalists who hear heavenly choirs sing when they see Barack Obama. Take Jesse Jackson:

What Barack Obama has accomplished is the single most extraordinary event that has occurred in the 232 years of the nation’s political history. ... The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance. -for the record, I met a man who was dead for seven days, during the Rwanda crisis which Bill Clinton and Kofi Annan inflated. He didn't make the claims that Jesse makes for Obama. - ed.
