    This did not exactly reach the main stream media but is funny enough to give a mention. An sinister remark about one president landed another with two weeks suspension.

    Southington Chamber of Commerce President Arthur Secondo was suspended without pay for implying in a public meeting that President Barack Obama was the Antichrist, several news sources report.

    During the town council meeting on Feb. 9, Secondo said, “and everybody loves this Obama. I think we should check the back of his head to see if he has 666 there, but that is another issue,” according to meeting minutes.

    Secondo, a registered Democrat who supposedly voted for Obama, said he would take the statement back if he could.

    State Rep. Bruce Zalaski, D-Southington, a member of the Democratic Town Committee, told the Meriden Record-Journal that Secondo's remarks don’t reflect badly on the party.

    The whole cult following surrounding Obama is disturbing and disgusting. His followers do treat him like he's the second coming of Jesus. So I can easily see where Secondo is coming from.
