In December 2007, Obama was implied to be the messiah / anointed one.
In a giant Sunday afternoon rally suffused with Christian – and at times messianic – rhetoric, Barack Obama made his largest-scale pitch to black and white Democrats of South Carolina, the third and most devout presidential primary state.
Obama’s wife, Michelle, opened the rally with a description of her husband that could, at moments, have been a description of Jesus Christ.
“We need a leader who’s going to touch our souls. Who’s going to make us feel differently about one another. Who’s going to remind us that we are one another’s keepers. That we are only as strong as the weakest among us,” she said, echoing biblical passages.
Oprah Winfrey also touched on Christian themes that had not been highlighted in Iowa.
“It’s amazing grace that brought me here,” she began, adding that she was “stepping out of my pew” - television – to engage in politics.
“It isn’t enough to tell the truth,” Winfrey said. “We need politicians who know how to BE the truth.”

What if a left leaning NCO embellished a briefing statement to attack the effort to de-fang Iran? We do not know if this is a single source story, or reflects the testimony of everyone in the briefing. This thread smells like an effort to undercut the moral of the troops with a disinformation campaign by enemy operatives. We should wait and see what the investigation turns up...
So am I. But I am unaware of any follow-up report of the investigation.
