Popular YouTube Video: Obama as Antichrist

By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country

This YouTube video explaining the etymological origins of the word Antichrist—hint: it has something to do with "Baraq O Bam-Maw"—has racked up more than 50,000 hits, with Hot Air reporting that it had risen to No. 6 on YouTube's "News & Politics" chart last night.

It was at this time last year that John McCain's presidential campaign released an ad that, according to some analyses, implied that Obama was the Antichrist. As Democrats like Obama have stepped up religious outreach, some opponents have stepped up faith-based demonizing.

Anti Christ

You cannot argue th facts of the Strongs Concordance although the American public would love to if it would give them one more stimulus. If this man is the AntiChrist then that means each and everyone of you had bettered quit worrying about who is in the Whiite House and remember who is on the THRONE in Heaven and who sent the Anti christ. If by chance he is the ONE only those who are not right with JESUS CHRIST will be here to make sure. When he is revealed for certain in Israel after signing the fake peace treaty THE TRUE BELIEVERS will be long gone and the Tribulation period will already be half way over. Think about that folks, IF IF IF IF by some chance this man is the AC then the Rapture is at HAND. Are You ready?

If not then get ready, ask Jesus to forgive you for all of your sins and really mean it, ask HIM to come and live in your heart, make HIM your lord and SAVIOR and pray this very prayer with convictionlike a dying man/woman going to HELL, because without HIM you are. If you mean it from your heart HE will come and live with you forever and YOU will miss the AC.

GOD BLESS YOU

The Race Card Is Being Overplayed

Unless his future actions change my mind, I do not at this time believe that the man who occupies the White House is the antichrist. I have trouble with the idea of my tax dollars being used to fund abortions (on that issue he and I disagree); I do not believe that the Federal government has any business extending its "tentacles" into every aspect of the citizens' lives(on that issue he and I disagree); In short, I disagree with many of President Obama's policies,as I have disagreed with policies of other Presidents since I was old enough to study and keep up with such matters. The fact that our current President had a black father has nothing to do with my opposition to some of his policies. As a basically Caucasian man (with some Native American "Indian") ancestry, I did not have any problem voting in a Primary in a previous Presidential election for a black man by the name of Alan Keyes and would have proudly voted for him for President had he won the Primary. You see, people can actually oppose or support someone based upon philosophy, not superficial issues like the color of one's skin. People who think that race has everything to do with people's motives at least on a subconscious level are extremely naive and public figures like Jimmy Carter and Bill Cosby who spew this rhetoric should know better and are guilty of fostering race hatred and should be ashamed of themselves.
