Forty fourth US President-elect Barack Obama’s phenomenal rise to the most powerful position in the world has grabbed the interest of a city-based surgeon who has given a numerological touch to Obama’s win.

Dr Amit Thadhani, consulting Minimal Access Surgeon and Director of Niramaya hospitals, has explained the significance of the numbers 4 and 8 that have played an uncanny role behind Obama’s rise.

Thadhani, who’s an avid numerologist, states that USA was born on the July 4, 1776 and the total of the word “America” is 8 as per numerological value.

He further points out that Obama was born on the 4th day of the 8th month of the year 1961 (total 8) in the period of the 4, and is now in the 48th year of his life. The numerological total of the words “Barack Obama” is 8.

Thadhani says that the election results were announced on the 4th day of November 2008 making Obama the 44th President of USA. Moreover, Democrat Obama’s campaign harping on ‘change’ that totals 4 and he successfully changed America’s destiny, Thadhani reveals.

Thadhani has also tried to explain the numerological effect on Obama’s Republican rival John McCain, whose name also totals 8 according to numerology and who is 71 years old (total 8).

Unfortunately, McCain was not supported by his birth number as he is born on the 29th of August 1936 and his destiny number is 2, which does not go well with 4 or 8 according to Thadhani.

Since the President’s term in office is four years, Thadhani, who believes that destiny shows its hand through numbers, is willing to put his money on a second term for Obama totaling to 8.

Thadhani, however, throws a word of caution as the compound number of Obama is 26, which will make him prone to treachery, deception and betrayal from his colleagues and danger from unknown persons as well.

He will likely make enemies without intending to do so and will find it hard to differentiate friend from foe, predicts the surgeon.

He will therefore have to be extremely careful in his team selection and in his interactions with others, Thadhani says.
