Some say that a prophet is a prophet everywhere except in his or her own home.And some even believe that prophets died out during biblical times.
But you need look no further than the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to know the prophecy that he made 46 years ago has come to pass.
"This is our hope. This is the faith," King said in his famous "I Have A Dream" speech.
"With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood."
Obama's political persona is often compared to that of Abraham Lincoln, partially because both hail from the state of Illinois and, like Lincoln, Obama is taking the reins of a government that is in crisis.
Yet, it can't be coincidence that Obama will become the first African-American president of the United States the day after the nation celebrates the birth of Dr. King.
