Politics, agh!

I'm not a terrible fan of politics, but I have a mild curiosity and do do some research about candidates. In any case, I have a roommate who is very much into politics and since I'd watched about 30 minutes of Fox the night of Clinton's loss to Obama, I had some curiosity questions for her--mostly opinion-based. During the course of the conversation, she not a Clinton fan, said something to the effect that if Obama did take her as VP, she'd likely kill him secretly and then "Woops, I guess I'm President" Bright smile.

It reminded me of a chapter in the Book of Mormon where a certain citizen, Amalickiah, desires power and seeks audience with the king to the this effect. When the king is finally convinced, after long persuasion, to come down from his mountain hide-out and see him, Amalickiah gains his wish and becomes second in command. Not long after that, Am's thugs kill the king and then of course, Am becomes king.

Curiously, I happened upon this chapter in my daily reading this morning. Is it an omen? Hmm.
