Wait a minute... what was the prophet's horse named... Baraq right? Obama does seem to be a white winged horse. 

Best I can find, Mohammed's winged steed for the big ride to "the furthest mosque" (Al Aqsa, which in the last 200 years has been associated with the Temple Mount for political reasons) was named "Burak," so accounting for converting alphabets as well as languages, this sounds about right.  According to the site I linked to

which literally means White Horse but seen as "Thunder-Lightning".

So that fits rigth in with out little conversation.

Of course, it's only coincidence.  He couldn't be Mohammed's own smart bomb... a tool of satan... the anti-christ.  Nah...... that's just crazy talk.

Isn't it interesting what you can find out by knowing trivia about the names of historic horses?

Just came back after a couple hours watching TV with my husband. Yes, trivial stuff leads one to fascinating discoveries, which is why I like knowing a bunch of stuff (even if for all of these years I have had the wrong name for Alexander's horse! THAT will teach me humility! LOL.)
