    Obama hates the hard shell of a bread.
    Obama loves the soft inside of a bread.

    Obama is the Anti-Crust! :laugh:

    Barack Obama will be the progressive equivalent of what Ronald Reagan was for conservatives.

    Obama, if he wins, will be the 44th POTUS. Nothing more nothing less. Will he set in motion the things that will cause calamity? Only he can know. At best I think he will ruin the American economy. As far as Antichrist is concerned, he will cause craft to prosper and disregard women. It seems to me that Obama has a good relationship with wife Michele and daughters.

    Yes just 44th although he will not favor the last 43. :laugh:

    Seriously, the question is moot

    1. Antiochus Epiphanes was a TYPE for the Antichrist who will come into control in the Tribulation Judgment Period after the Lord comes to pick up the Church Age (aka: Time of the Gentiles) elect church saints.

    2. in AD 426, Augustine (354-430) taught that the coming Antichrist would be Nero Redivivus (Nero raised from the dead)

    So either you pick would have Obama the Antichrist. Such a conclusion makes the USofA a lot more to God than She probably is. We vote for president of the USofA every four years, not for Antichrist.
    George W Bush 2001-2009 is not the Antichrist nor was Al Gore who ran against him in 2000.

    However, the 7-years of Suffering that McCain suffered at the hands of North Vietnam and how he figurative rose from the dead from a sever head wound - not that is Antichrist stuff for sure! :saint:

    I think John F. Kennedy is a better example of the role Obama will play.

    Bay of Pigs comes to mind. The abandonment of an ally for their sure massacre.

    Should have never got to the point that an actual nuclear exchange could have happened. If he had handled the Bay of Pigs like a real leader, Castro would not have been in power to accommodate the Russian missiles. That is what happens when you have a learn as you go POTUS.

    Would you rather have had JFK or George Bush in the Cuban Missile Crisis? George flew around in circles on 9/11 and did absolutely nothing.

    The threat was from the sky BB. No one knew if even Air Force One was a target. Besides Bush is not the problem any longer, he is not up for another term. The next POTUS will be subject to many threats and they know it. Obama will honor the "god of forces" and all will be the status quo.

    Haven't you ever hear of Manifest Destiny? I was saying that as Antiochus IV was a type of anti-christ for the Jews and Nero another Type of Anti-Christ for the Romans maybe Obama is a Type of Anti-Christ for the US. He could be just as effective at ruining the us and remember Anti in the Greek sense is closer to another or Another Christ. Which the Hype seems to be playing at. Keep in mind the US government now owns the Major Banks and forced Wells Fargo to take the bail out funds. China is calling for a one world currency. Sarkosy is supporting a unified financial system where the Germans want to control this thing. One world economy which is the next logical step in Globalization. Obama is a socialist and will most likely follow Europes lead if it gives him prominance. Then keep in mind the Democrates are in charge of the House. Its what I call the perfect storm.
