Which First Barack - The Good News Or The Bad

On Tuesday Barack Obama was sworn in as the first black president of America. He was the 44th President. According to the Jakata Globe, Indonesian numerologist Udin, has predicted good fortune for Mr Obama. In Mandarin the words for four and death are the same. Four in China is like 13 in western countries, many Chinese buildings will not have a fourth floor or any other storey featuring a number four. Despite this Udin predicts good fortune for Barack Obama as there are two fours in 44th and four plus four equals eight and eight is regarded as a lucky number. Furthermore, 2009 is the Year of the Ox and Barack Obama was born in 1961 which was also the Year of the Ox. People born under the Ox are hard-working and stubborn according to Chinese tradition. Another interesting statistic, Barack Obama spent four years as a child in Indonesia. Udin, a feng shui master for 20 years, claims it will be a lucky year for the President as he is 47 years old, adding, between 47 and 49 is a good time to do something great. Thank goodness for that!
