I hold in my hand a printout of the e-mail I just received from Barack Obama. Yes, I know it’s not green to use paper, but how else can I display it on my desk so co-workers can express awe, surprise, and most important, envy? The point is, I received a personal communication from, depending on which blog you read:
• A foreign-born Islamic extremist
• Socialist-in-Chief
• President of the United States

This appears in the May 2009 issue of Sojourners
