Chicago- After months of speculation by various conspiracy theory sites and members of Youtube, Barack Obama acknowledged in an interview today that he is in fact the Antichrist spoken of in the Christian bible's Book of Revelation.
Said the President-Elect "I realize a lot of people are going to be disconcerted by hearing this news, but try to keep it in its' proper perspective. I'll still be better for the country than Bush."
In related news, polls showed a 50% increase in Obama's approval rating immediately following the interview and hotel bookings in Washington D.C. for January 20th, 2009 - the day of Obama's inauguration - tripled.
