Africa bishops speak of Obama in religious terms

VATICAN CITY (AP) - African bishops attending a Vatican meeting are speaking about the election of Barack Obama in divine terms—putting them very much at odds with many of their U.S. counterparts.

Archbishop Gabriel Charles Palmer-Buckle of Accra, Ghana said Wednesday that there was "a divine plan behind" Obama's election.

"It's like the biblical story repeating itself," he 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."

Archbishop John Onaiyekan of Abuja, Nigeria gave more tangible reasons for praise in meeting with reporters.

"Obama has the authority to talk straight to our bad leaders and tell them they are messing up our countries," he said. Besides, he added, "In Africa we are always happy when our brother is big."

There was a divine plan behind GWB's election too. God really wanted to invade Iraq.

Christian god presumably? The Muslim one might not be so keen, although...I dunno it might be a cunning Muslim god plan...

Exactly... God is testing Muslims because he loves them so much.

I've always liked the word cunning.

You can use it in proper language and yet it sounds like it should be wickedly obscene.

Indeed and it figured prominently in the Black Adder series. You should get it out on Netflix.
