The imitation of Obama

Mouse was intrigued by Nick Robinson's blog about how the political debate in the UK has been influenced by Obama. Essentially, his analysis is that all UK politicians are, for now, desperately trying to jump on the presidential bandwagon by painting themselves as closest to Obama. I thought this wasn't a bad strategy ... so which UK religious leaders are learning the lessons and pitching Christianity as "the change we can believe in"? We're not even on the page. I really don't recommend that religious leaders take lessons from politicians, but the point is that Obamania is one of the biggest cultural and political movements in the world at the moment. The man has become the most powerful man in the world, and has transfixed the world with his message of hope. He's also a Christian. But the UK religious press and authorities seem to have missed that fact. Shame.
