GOP Newest Target: Obama's SF Sainthood

A Catholic priest in San Francisco is a bit peeved, to say the least, that a city gift shop is selling a prayer candle that has the head of the president on top of the body of the first black saint in the Americas, St. Martin de Porres. The candle has a holier than thou picture of Obama wearing a black gown. In his right hand, draped across his chest, is a cross, and in his left hand a staff. To complete the image, the country's first African-American president has a halo around his head.
