Is it possible that Obama's 2008 Presidential campaign took its central concept from this cheesy Antichrist picture?

Oh sorry, here is a link to this gobbler.

You definitely are right, Steely Tom.

Wooooo boy. I mean, sure, it’s possible (very vaguely) but I doubt it. “Change” has repeatedly been a political campaign mainstay.

There was another obscure movie, entitled “Wild in the Streets”, that similarly predicted Bill Clinton’s campaign. That movie even portrayed the illegal use of FBI files against political opponents ... quite an eerie match, actually.

In the 1970s there were a number of these movements (still churning baby boomers and middle aged Americans after the commune and other movements).

The film probably took some from that.

And the Obama campaign probably got messaging from the same leftist true believers (clearly some like Ayers influenced Obama’s political career).

Whew, for a moment I read that headline as "Cheap Trick" and felt bad since that is a favorite band.

Barry and The Choom Gang could have watched that while eating mass quantities of Cheetos.

Well Yes We Can came from the cartoon Bob the Builder.

I have a 6 yr old niece which is how I know this cartoon.

Not until we grasp - UNTIL WE GRASP - that we ARE the higher power...

Sounds a lot like "We are the ones we have been waiting for."
