I'm not trying to get weird or anything, but it seems like Obama is doing and saying things that remind me of the Antichrist. He’s like a rock star in Europe, and he says the world needs to unite. I just need to know if this reminds anyone of the kind of stuff the Antichrist will be doing.

We actually just began a discussion of "antichrists" and the biblical definition of "antichrist" on my recent blog post. Based on your question, and the questions of others, I would like to continue this discussion, sooner, rather than later.
It seems that many people misunderstand the definition of "antichrist." I hope to bring some clarification to the matter in future posts, so keep your eyes pealed. I will also be sure and get to the "Is Obama the Anti-Christ?" question.

Be sure to check out the comments, because that is where the questions really begin.
I still hope to write a post about this, but it may be a little ways down the road.

Since this question has been demoted to the bottom of the Q & A chain, I no longer plan to write a post on it.

do you really take revelation literally? there are some books in the Bible that are written in a metaphorical sense. these are great authors, expressing what they've seen in a very fantastic way, but most of the apocalyptic literature in the Bible, are not meant to be translated literally. it is more probable that revelation should be interpreted as a book that shows us what to expect from the time Christ ascended, until His return, not necessarily a specific period in that entire time frame (then of course the last chapter covers what will happen, again in a metaphorical sense, after His glorious return). so the antichrist that is mentioned in revelation is probably better interpreted as anyone who persuades people away from Christ and His truth.
considering earth's size, if stars started falling onto earth from the heavens, then earth would be obliterated. these wraths that God pours out, are mere symbols of what it is like when God pours out His wrath on sinners (which if we look to romans, his wrath seems to be less of the pain he actually inflicts on us, and more of that fact that He let the hardened heart go so far away from Himself that it is now self-inflicted pain, due to the immense pain we would experience with a life without him).
so to answer your question, considering that Obama professes Christ as His savior, then no i could not believe that he is the antichrist, at least no more than the rest of us.
Joshua,
Just a quick note, the term "antichrist" does not occur in Revelation. It only occurs in 1 John 2:18, 22; 4:3; and 2 John verse 7. The one people often refer to as the antichrist in Revelation, is actually called the beast or the false prophet (it depends on who you are asking to determine which one) in Revelation.
