"I've gotten a lot of questions the last few weeks asking if Obama is the antichrist," says novelist Jenkins. "I tell everyone that I don't think the antichrist will come out of politics, especially American politics."
"I can see by the language he uses why people think he could be the antichrist," adds LaHaye, "but from my reading of scripture, he doesn't meet the criteria. There is no indication in the Bible that the antichrist will be an American."

The authors of the Left Behind series are pretty confident that Obama is not, in fact, the antichrist (via Sullivan):

I was actually forwarded an anti-Obama email not that long ago that contained the following:
"According to The Book of Revelations:
"The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent , who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.
"And Now:
For the award winning Act of Stuidity
Of all times the People of America want to elect, to th e most Powerful position on the face of the Planet -- The Presidency of the United states of America
"A Muslim
Male
Extremist
Between
the ages
of 17 and 40.
"Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason ???
"I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the 'unknown' candidate Obama..."
I was just sort of like, um, wait... has your "power of reason" informed you that Obama isn't a Muslim? And that, you know, religion is inherently irrational?
Wow, that is amazing! I wish it was a little more consistent thought- the beginning suggests the antichrist will be in his 40s, but then the list at the end suggests between 17 and 40.
That list is especially cool seeing as Obama is not a male, an extremist, or between the ages of 17 and 40 (or a muslim of course). Makes me wonder if he's actually male.
