Too long ago, the only reasonable answer here is "No". The writers of the bible probably wouldn't have written it if they knew how seriously it would be taken one day.
In my study of Revelations in a classroom setting and using a few books, in addition to the Bible, I never once heard that the name of the anti-christ was given. The "order" of the end of times is implied in one of Jesus' sermons in Matthew. According to the "order" in which things happen, this is the order that was taught in that class:
1) There is a drift towards apostasy (I believe happening now), 2) The "rapture" will occur where all Christians will ascend to heaven 3) There will be an attack on Israel from the North - Russia, Arabs & Muslims) in a 1 day war, Israel wins 4) the rise of the anti-christ will begin the tribulation period 5) the anti-christ signs a "covenant" or "treaty" w/Israel 6) Then the Rise of Babylon (a one-world govt, religion & currency) 7) 1st half of tribulation will last 3-1/2 years, this is where the Saints" 144,000 Jews will be converted to Christ, the two witnesses, Moses & Elijah will appear, and the temple will be rebuilt 8)Great Tribulation described as "Hell on Earth" for 3-1/2 years, 9) Second coming of Jesus Christ as the "Lion of Judah" where all non-Christians are defeated at Armageddon, Satan will be cast into Lake of Fire for 1,000 years, the marriage supper of the Lamb will take place with Jesus himself. 10) Start of the Millennium Kin...

So according to this timeline there is NO way Obama can be the Anti-Christ. He may be a False Prophet which would come in the first series of events.
Is the question us or U.S.? Either way the answer is still NO. None of the bible was written while Jesus was alive, so it is all recollection and hearsay.
Creepy indeed! I have no clue if BO is the antichrist or not. I do feel he is anti-Christian. In my spirit I have always felt he is evil hearted. The first time I heard him speak I knew he was not to be trusted.
They changed the number from 666 to 616.. they found a mistake when it was rewritten.. and No this Jesus didnt say anything,, Man who was having delusions said that Jesus said this and that... No writer of the bible ever knew this Jesus dude..
A fragment from the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament, dating to the Third century, gives the more mundane 616 as the mark of the Antichrist.
Ellen Aitken, a professor of early Christian history at McGill University, said the discovery appears to spell the end of 666 as the devil’s prime number.
“This is a very nice piece to find,” Dr. Aitken said. “Scholars have argued for a long time over this, and it now seems that 616 was the original number of the beast.”
The tiny fragment of 1,500-year-old papyrus is written in Greek, the original language of the New Testament, and contains a key passage from the Book of Revelation.
Seems as if the new testament was written 300 years after the fact... Damn that Jesus dude musta been old for those writers to have Know him...LOL
The number of the beast is 616, not 666, and it refers to Nero. And btw, "bible codes" are abject nonsense, and anyone who buys into this crap is an idiot.
The reason they used nubers to depict certain people , they were afraid of reprisal for speaking up about them.... I dont believe in the nonsense in the bible either.. The only thing it has going for it are a couple of examples of morality.. Not many but a few...

even in the Hebrew version, the anti-christ is named!
