SC mayor curious about Obama being the Antichrist

Mayor Danny Funderburk of Fort Mill, South Carolina, passed a chain e-mail that claims BO is the Antichrist. He did from his day job’s email system. Now, you may think that this is a trivial matter, unworthy of comment, but if you look up the relative sizes of Fort Mill and Wasilla, Alaska (Wikipedia), you’ll find that according to the 2000 US Census Fort Mill had more than 7,500 people while Wasilla in 2000 had only about 5,500 people. Wasilla and Fort Mill have no doubt been growing considerably this decade since they are both exurban bedroom communities of larger metro areas (Anchorage and Charlotte respectively).
