Even in Hebrew, “Barak” means Lightening,
And “Bema” or “Bama” means “High Place”. It could either mean the podium in the synagogue, or a raised throne, or the “High Places” where incense was offered to false gods.
So It isn’t a stretch to see “Lightening from heaven” spoken phonetically as “Barak Obama”
Articles were written and people talked of him as a light-bringer.
Someone else has been known by that name. Satan.
