South African cleric, Nobel Peace Prize winner, former Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town and all round good guy, Desmond Tutu, has come out in support of Barack Obama in the race for the presidency of the USA. The respected clergyman said:"I am so excited about Obama. All the world should be. He is a voice for people who haven't had much of a voice in this country. What he represents is absolutely to heal this country from what it has been experiencing".

The 77 year old holy man, who earned his degree in Theology at King's College London, was attending the 2008 Freedom Awards in our picture gallery, which was held at The Bovard Auditorium at USC in Los Angeles, in September 2008.
