This has to be the result of too many "No Child Left Behind" classes moving through the Texas public school system.

People like to think the worst about their opponents in politics, sports, and sometimes even in business. Both Bush and Clinton ran into some of this too. Lots of people would have wacky ideas about Obama even if the racial aspect did not come into play.
I don't see an easy way out of this. We need to keep working to improve the educational system. Perhaps some states could ban the textbooks used in Texas.

Don't be ridiculous, no one in the GOP thinks Obama is the easter bunny. That would be a cute cuddly adorable creature not one who is destroying the world as we know it.

It is absolutely ridiculous to think Obama is the Antichrist when it is a verifiable fact that he is The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

So, you can't GO forward without looking backwards, but it's important to LOOK forward and not backwards, so you have to look backwards but not really care about what you see while pretending to care about what's in front of you?

President Obama gave an interview earlier this week to an Indonesian television station. He said, about Indonesia human rights abuses...
We have to acknowledge that those past human rights abuses existed. We can't go forward without looking backwards . . . .

When asked last year about whether the United States should use similar tribunals to investigate its own human rights abuses, Obama said:

There is a wonderful (to my way of thinking anyway) exchange in one of Asimov's "Foundation" novels (Second Foundation I think) between the leader of the Foundation and one of his analysts, after some "ambassador" from a newly formed local kingdom comes to try to get the Foundation to join this new polity. Something like this:
Leader: He was here for two weeks. He produced an awful lot of words. What did he actually say?
Analyst: According to our semantic analysis, nothing.
Leader: Of course. He's a politician.

He totally contradicted himself, therefore he is the antichrist. Seems logical.

Once again, education is at fault.
It is clear that Obama is not the anti-christ but he could be the ante-christ. In that way, all of us are as well (some more than others).
I will give him this, tho, he was the savior of the financiers ...

Did anybody in the GOP watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail? Then they would know better what cute cuddly adorable bunnies are capable of.

As far as I know, the Antichrist is eligible to be president as long as he is at least 35 years old and was born in this country. Some people are always complaining no matter who gets elected.

I didn't recall that, but it is priceless! What other reason could there be for three 6-letter names?
