"It's like the biblical story repeating itself," [Archbishop Gabriel Charles Palmer-Buckle of Accra, Ghana] told reporters, citing the Old Testament figure Joseph, who after being sold into slavery in Egypt ends up becoming a top official.

"We believe God has his own plans. God directs history," he said of the U.S. election. "We pray that it (Obama's presidency) brings blessings for Africa and the whole world."

It’s like Genesis? Most comparisons focus on Revelation.

No need to go to Africa to find bishops infatuated with Obama. We have a bunch right here in the US who likely voted for him and who no doubt supported the bestowal of an honorary degree upon him. They have far less excuse for their infatuation as they are not located on a different continent thousands of miles away nor do they share the same ethnic heritage and they know well his position on life issues.

I'll cut the Ghanaians and Nigerians some slack on this one.
