Prayerful and Patriotic Homage to Barack Obama

I found this on a bench while waiting for the Lexington Ave. subway. It’s so carefully crafted and the sentiment rings so true, that I had to pick it up. Oddly, it’s drawn on the back of a truck driver’s pay stub, which I think somehow adds to the authentic feel of it. My girlfriend wouldn’t tell me if she was for Clinton or Obama, but she’s clamped onto this bit of ephemera, and says it’s a good luck charm for her (and a vocabulary-builder for both of us, in more ways than one).
