I would recite the chalisa then worry about U.S. Presidential elections. Now that Rev. Wright has been sidelined, and Obama denying that his middle name Hussein is a misnomer, and that he has distanced himself from the Trinity United Church of Christ, he still believes in Christianity. The mascot of Lord Hanuman is purely accidental, and it should not bear any semblance with conversion to Hinduism. It may bring some Indian American votes, but knowing the NRI community, it will always board the wagon which brings them the mullas. After all, aren't we all hypocrites and self-seekers and know which side of the bread is buttered.
