Gerard Baker of the Times of London presents simply the finest analysis of Obamania yet offered: "He ventured forth to bring light to the world."

 Stirring, beautiful, profound, hilarious—and horribly true.

Gerard Baker’s article is one of the best satirical pieces I’ve seen in a while. In a time when the media mass together viciously to destroy all original thought, it takes courage to write the truth, even in a veiled, sarcastic manner. Baker has succeeded brilliantly.

An excerpt:

From there the Child went up to the city of Jerusalem, and entered through the gate seated on an ass. The crowds of network anchors who had followed him from afar cheered “Hosanna” and waved great palm fronds and strewed them at his feet.

In Jerusalem and in surrounding Palestine, the Child spake to the Hebrews and the Arabs, as the Scripture had foretold. And in an instant, the lion lay down with the lamb, and the Israelites and Ishmaelites ended their long enmity and lived for ever after in peace.

. . . And suddenly, with the men appeared the archangel Gabriel and the whole host of the heavenly choir, ranks of cherubim and seraphim, all praising God and singing: “Yes, We Can."
