Quatrain 78 of Century X:

It will occur at Rome for the graces embraced
Grief, cries, tears, weeping, blood, excellent mirth
Contrary bands surprised & trussed up. "

A fake quatrain from Nostradamus is making its way around the net:

At the war’s end:
The Feeble Kept One will strike down the Night
And his Imbecile Queen will rise from the snow
Bedecked in finery and the pelt of a wolf.

– Quatrain 78 Century X

Some people are predicting that this means that McCain will win, and will die after the Iraq war is completed, so that the Imbecile Queen (Palin) will take his place.

This is such utter bullsh!t. Even if it weren’t a stretch to interpret it that way, that isn’t even the text of Quatrain 78, Century X. That one reads:

The old roads will all be improved,
One will proceed on them to the modern Memphis,
The great Mercury of Hercules fleur-de-lis
Causing to tremble lands, sea & country.

Very sad that the race card is being played both ways!

I don't feel that race should have even been an issue...

I only count us as one race... Human!

No offense to the ET"s that are out there! lol : :

He is equally white and yet they are constantly calling him African American.
What about the half of him that isn't?

It seems folks get labeled by looks.
I get called Irish....but I have absolutely no Irish ancestry!

I believe there is only ONE God -- no matter what us humans name him. Why shouldn't the God that Pres-Elect Obama believes in be called upon to bless America??

What *I* cannot understand, as a practicing Christian ie believing in God/Jesus Christ/The Holy Spirit, is WHY Obama used the phrase "GOD BLESS AMERICA" at the very end of his acceptance speech in Chicago. Um...what? The God that is being referred to in that statement, for me, is the Christian God. He is NOT a Christian. So, he's just saying that to try and make it all feel good?

No offense. But who are you, or anyone for that matter, to state exactly what religious affliation a person is? The only person who can truly state that honestly and accurately is the individual themself.

With such a perception, it would follow that it would be "wrong" for an American Citizen of the Islamic Faith to ask Allah to bless America, is that true?? What if a Buddhist American Citizen called upon his faith to bless the country he (and we) live in?? What if a Jewish person did the same?? Would all that be "wrong" too, and cause a similar sneering suspicion??

I thought practicing Christians try to love, understand and help their neighbors?? I'm curious why has it come to this, that some of Christ's current followers have become an insular and doubting group, narrow-minded and fearful of other races and belief-systems, looking into the future only with the hope that their Armageddon and their Rapture arrive soon.....

Obama sets record straight on his religion
Presidential candidate battles misconception that he's a Muslim

updated 9:49 a.m. CT, Mon., Jan. 21, 2008

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Barack Obama is stepping up his effort to correct the misconception that he's a Muslim now that the presidential campaign has hit the Bible Belt.

At a rally to kick off a weeklong campaign for the South Carolina primary, Obama tried to set the record straight from an attack circulating widely on the Internet that is designed to play into prejudices against Muslims and fears of terrorism.

"I've been to the same church _ the same Christian church _ for almost 20 years," Obama said, stressing the word Christian and drawing cheers from the faithful in reply. "I was sworn in with my hand on the family Bible. Whenever I'm in the United States Senate, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. So if you get some silly e-mail ... send it back to whoever sent it and tell them this is all crazy. Educate."

Obama is referring to a debunked chain e-mail circulating widely on the Internet that suggests he is hiding his Islamic roots and may be a terrorist in disguise. It says he was sworn into the Senate on the Quran and turns his back on the flag during the pledge.

Some facts, some misstatements
There are some truths in the e-mail's details. Obama's middle name is Hussein. His father and stepfather were Muslim. And he spent part of his childhood in Indonesia, a largely Muslim country. But he attended secular and Catholic schools, not a radical madrassa.

His campaign has been pushing back against the false rumors all year. His aides decried an incorrect news report that Obama was educated in a Muslim madrassa and a section of his Web site is devoted to correct that and other false rumors circulating on the Internet.

But they are stepping up the effort now that the campaign has hit South Carolina and soon turns to other southern states where religion is so important to voters. The campaign distributed an open letter from seven Jewish senators this weekend condemning the attacks; aides are planning an event this week to respond directly to the e-mails; and campaign representatives blanketed South Carolina churches Sunday with literature that touted Obama's Christian faith.

One piece features photos of Obama praying with the words "COMMITTED CHRISTIAN" in large letters across the middle. It says Obama will be a president "guided by his Christian faith" and includes a quote from him saying, "I believe in the power of prayer."

In that post, I commented that we could call Barack Obama as "the first non-Caucasian president of the USA", since he has multiple ancestries, including many European ones. However, although I am not an American and it might not be my place to comment, as I am neither an expert nor a local of the States- the USA is a immigrant nation. Most US citizens have mixed ancestries, many Caucasians consider themselves white, not knowing they have African ancestries; conversely, a good deal of the African Americans today have Caucasian ancestries, yet they have darker skin than their white co-ancestors (but lighter skin than their African co-ancestors) and for various personal reasons, they would rather consider themselves black, or African American, notwithstanding their Caucasian ancestries. The majority of the contemporary African Americans do not share exactly the same blood lines with their African co-ancestors. I guess that's why people call President-elect Obama "African American". The mere presence of one African blood line in a person would make the multi-racial individual consider himself or herself black- that is, African American. Sometimes it all boils down to personal attitude toward one's own racial self-identification. These matters, however, do spark controversy and heated debates.

The US has been prodominantly worshipping a non-existent God, largely monotheistic, Christian, and in court or in presidential inauguration, vowing with a hand on a copy of the Bible is the "norm". If an individual is honest to himself or herself, and s/he happens to be a non-Christian, in my opinion, whether s/he is in court, having a civil wedding, or a president-elect, s/he should be true to himself or herself and refuse to vow by the Christian Bible.
