He is not smart enough to be the anti-Christ, even if we all think he is acting as one. He has no real ability to make a decision; all decisions are by other people and he waits for outside responses before he takes a position. The anti-Christ will be much more assertive. He was only elected because he stands for “change”, whatever that is. Furthermore, his heritage does not match up with that of the anti-Christ; the anti-Christ will be from the old Roman Empire and will likely begin by being in church of the Eurpoean Union.
“He is not smart enough to be the anti-Christ, even if we all think he is acting as one. “
I think he sold his soul to the Devil for this. Now he has it and is wondering why all this is happening to him.
Meanwhile, Satan is laughing and telling him don’t wish for something too hard, you might just get your wish.
The-AntiChrist doesn’t need to be all that smart. satan will be his guide.
The Antichrist will come upon the world scene as a peacemaker. It will be 3 1/2 years later that his true nature will be revealed, when he sets himself up to be worshiped.
Regarding heritage, the “old Roman Empire” theory is only that, and, in all honestly is a problematic theory. However, reading this link...

...you may find this theory makes MUCH more sense. And in the scenario discussed at that link, Obama makes a perfect candidate to tie the Muslim world into the Western world, and be able to bring a temporary peace to Israel for a few short years, just as every POTUS since Carter has tried to do and build a legacy upon.
A quote from that link, describing the Muslim Messiah, who, upon close examination (and further reading), fits the very description of the Biblical AntiChrist....for your review...
“Among the Major Signs, the most anticipated and central sign that Muslims are awaiting is the coming of a man known as, “The Mahdi.” In Arabic, al-Mahdi means, “The Guided One” 1 He is also sometimes referred to by Shi’a Muslims as Sahib Al-Zaman or Al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar which translated mean “The Lord of the Age” and “The Guided/Awaited One.” The Mahdi is the first of the Major Signs. This is confirmed by Ibn Kathir, the renowned Muslim scholar from the eighth century:”
On a side note, as I post this, I’m sure someone (not implying you specifically, of course) who views all Biblical end-times prophecy as mere allegory will promptly chime in with their symbolism spin about how they are also experts on all things Islam, and how this Mahdi thing all happened during the first century or some other silly comment.
