Either that or at least a prophet.
From Friday's edition of Hardball with Chris Matthews, during an interview with the editor of Newsweek:
Matthews: "Reagan and World War II and the sense of us as the good guys in the world, how are we doing?"
Thomas: ""Well, we were the good guys in 1984, it felt that way. It hasn't felt that way in recent years. So Obama’s had, really, a different task. We're seen too often as the bad guys. And he – he has a very different job from – Reagan was all about America, and you talked about it. Obama is ‘we are above that now.’ We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."

Not to be outdone, Time magazine makes a religious allusion when writing of the president:
Obama in Cairo: The Making of a Prophet?
Wow, this will require an eventual, and expensive, change to the stained glass. In regards to "spiritual psychology", the Romans did this with Augustus.
