Obama = 666? How about Palin?
A friend of mine just sent me proof that Obama is the anti-christ. His proof -
Obama’s name when used on numeric phone keypad is O(6)-B(2)-A(2)-M(6)-A(2) i.e 62262. (You can also get Obama related information by texting GO to 62262).
Notice 62262 can be rearranged to 6, 6 and 222. Now 2+2+2 = 6
Therefore, OBAMA = 666

“McCain is not Bush” but he too lives in denial
