Obama Going to Messiah College

This is just an update that Obama accepted the invitation to the Compassion Forum that will be held at Messiah College on April 13th. See my earlier post about Clinton’s announcement to attend.

Of course he is going…he is a Messiah to many of his followers.

Ben, I’ve seen that comment from quite a few non-fans of Obama. I intend no offense here, but speaking as an alumnus of Messiah College, the “clever” play on words has already gotten old fast. I fear it’s not done yet.

I’m not looking forward to The Daily Show picking up the news and making fun of the school name again like they did with the whole Monica Goodling fiasco. [Though, I will say I'm normally a fan of The Daily Show.]
