Obamamania Cools to Luke Warm Nov. 2, 2009 - President Obama was wildly popular at his election and even more so in January with a 70 percent approval rating.

But since that time Americans have begun to doubt the president's ability to pull the US economy out of a nosedive. His popularity has continued to decline since that time. - July - Dipped below that of George W. Bush at the same point in his presidency.
- October - Dropped to just above 50 percent according to Frank Newport, editor in chief of the Gallup Poll. Newport called this "slightly below average for all US presidents since World War II."
- November - Even though the US has technically emerged from the recession, a Rasmussen poll reported that 29 percent strongly approve of Obama's performance, compared to 39 percent who strongly disapprove.

As 'New World Order' Shapes Up, Fear Is That An Anti-Christ Spirit Will Control It Nov. 21, 2008 - Global problems, such as financial collapse, terrorism, and environmental issues are prompting a move toward global governance. Last week, the UK's Prime Minister Gordon Brown urged Barack Obama to become a "globalized" leader. He said, "We can seize the moment and in doing so build a truly global society." Amazingly, executives from companies like Google have proposed a globalized "religion." - One can be excused for concern here too -- in that Google, Microsoft, and many other "tech" companies are less than warm toward traditional Christianity.
While some people are trying in vain to identify the PERSON who could become Antichrist, it is becoming increasingly obvious that there is a strong movement toward a global government, and that the SPIRIT of Antichrist will control it.- Source: Spirit Daily - Story no longer online
