I'm new to FR, and I've encountered some posts that I'm having a hard time understanding. I figured I'd go right to the source and try to get some clarification. The problem I'm having relates to those posters who are concerned that Obama is the anti-christ, which, if I'm understanding correctly, is an evil leader who ushers in the end of the world.

Now, I've read on it that the 21st of February it's the "President's day". What a strange celebration! We don't have it in Italy. What do you do in America and what kind of celebration is it?
