"I Have a Dream" and Barack Obama

By Garrett Godwin

Today marks the 45th anniversary of Dr. King's powerful "I Have a Dream" speech, and it coincides with this year's Democratic National Convention, in which Barack Obama becomes the first African-American to accept the Presidential nomination of a major political party.

Coincidence? Many do not think so, for they believe it was divine intervention, as Barack is part of God's plan to lead the world from darkness and back into the light.

"Barack Obama will lead us away from division and fear of the last eight years back to unity and hope" said former President Bill Clinton at the Democratic Convention last night. "If, like me, you still believe America must always be a place called hope, then join Hillary, Chelsea, and me in making Barack Obama the next President of the United States."

There's even a website called Is Barack Obama the Messiah, as many believe he is Christ-like: the Second Coming.

"Barack Obama is our collective representation of our purest hopes" said Eve Konstantine, "our highest visions and our deepest knowing ... He's our product out of the all-knowing quantum field of intelligence."

Obama will be speaking at the Convention today to accept the 2008 Democratic Presidential Nomination. Also speaking is former Vice President Al Gore and Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean, as today's theme of the Convention is title "Change You Can Believe In".

"Let's declare together in one voice right here, right now" Clinton continued, "that Barack Obama is our candidate and he will be our president.

"The choice in this election is clear. These times require more than a good soldier - they require a wise leader."
