“On earth, God’s work must truly be Obama’s.”

So why does Les Gelb suddenly think our major foreign policy problem—Iran’s militant Islam—is going to straighten itself our via an election in that authoritarian state? Is it because Obama defeated in America those bigoted Republicans who stole the 2000 election and perverted our constitution? Because Barack Hussein Obama flew to Cairo and told Muslims we are their friends? Because Lebanon managed to elect a non-Hezbollah parliamentary majority? Is it because all these things are evidence of the phenomenon this blog is on to (here and here), that as Newsweek editor Evan Thomas said, "I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God"?

Obama, as god, has the power to right the world? Even an election in Iran? Is that it?
