What Barack Obama carries in his pocket

It is quite revealing what comes to light, when the perhaps soon-to-be mightiest man in the world empties his pockets - as seen on a recent photo posted on Time's “White House Photo of the Day�?collection. There is a tiny monkey - apparently Hindu god Hanuman - together with a gambler's lucky chit, a bracelet belonging to an American soldier deployed in Iraq and a tiny Madonna with child. The bracelet could be a reminder that it would be his most distinguished task as the next president of the USA to "bring our boys home". And the other pocket treasures? Is Obama a Hanuman believer, inspired by the legendary monkey's great war against demon King Ravana? Is he a gambler? Does he believe in lucky charms? Does he belive that these small mascots carried around in his pocket have any impact on his life and "fate"? If the contents of his pocket is any indication for his state of mind, one may have to be prepared for strange - if not dangerous - surprises.
