Nostradamus NEVER prophesized the name of the antichrist as being "Mabus."
Actually Mabus is a character that will die and signal the coming of many woes.
Here's the quatrain,

Mabus then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.
Century II, Quatrain 62

Got it No Anti Christ in the quatrain, which means that you and your over active imagination are filling in blanks that don't exist.

Is Barack Obama the antichrist?
Barack Obama and antichrist seem to flow well together. He posseses many of the characteristics depicted in the book of Relevations. He has middle-eastern descent, his name, "Barack", means "blessed", he is cunning, and is a powerful speaker. He has considered running for president in 2008. Nostradamus prophesized the name of the antichrist is "Mabus." This can relate to why Obama is the antichrist. If you write obama+bush, you end up with obamabush. Do you spot "mabus" in the middle? Bingo. This is a strong indication that Obama will succeed Bush as president in 2008, further confirming the prohpecy. This is my personal take on the antichrist. I want to hear your thoughts. Is Obama the next antichrist? thanks.
