United States President Barack Obama has revealed in an interview to a You Tube vlogger that he carries a selection of lucky charms and religious trinkets along with a statue of Monkey God Lord Hanuman in his pocket.
Obama said he is not a superstitious person, but carries these lucky charms all around the time, reports The Guardian.
He said these trinkets remind him of all the different people that he has met along the way with their hopes and dreams from him.
Rosary beads from Pope Francis, a lucky poker chip from a biker in Iowa, a little Buddha from a Buddhist monk and a Coptic cross from Ethiopia are a part of his lucky charm collection.
