| Mihai in Romanian means Michael. Please Binky, research your BO BS just a little before you try to run a mouse up our leg. Did you know that BO's aunt married Putin? His brother is legal counsel to ahmadinejad? His sister is the Pope?

| CHAEL Gender: Masculine Usage: English, German, Czech, Biblical Pronounced: MIE-kəl (English), MI-khah-el (German) [key] From the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el) meaning "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God. Saint Michael was one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible. In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies, and thus is considered the patron saint of soldiers.The popularity of the saint led to the name being used by nine Byzantine emperors, including Michael VIII Palaeologus who restored the empire in the 13th century. It has been common in Western Europe since the Middle Ages, and in England since the 12th century. It has been borne (in various spellings) by rulers of Russia (spelled Михаил), Romania (Mihai), Poland (Michał), and Portugal (Miguel). Other more modern bearers of this name include the British chemist/physicist Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and basketball player Michael Jordan (1963-).

MIHAI Who says its rhetorical? That is just plain supposition with no evidence whatsoever to support it.To me it all fits as part of the whole, lets not forget we're looking at a lot more besides one word. And doesn't "he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men" fit well with him being a war plane pilot?

| He got shot down and spent years as a prisoner. For that he deserves our gratitude for his service but it's not really a point in his favor making him POTUS material.

In fact you can find many examples of the phrase without a question mark after it, which changes it into a statement not a question. Examples: Quote:

| Rhetorical was not my opinion. I took the line from a previous post ( mine which you did not read) which was taken from a website that explained the meaning of names. I would suggest that they researched the meaning of names (and the Hebrew language) considerably more than you research the assinine mud that you sling. I am trying to take the high road in these political discussions, but it is difficult to look you in the eye when you refuse to wipe the regurgitation off of your bib.

| "Who is like God?" Binks , think of it in an archaic sense. How did they speak when the name was first used? Forget the Romanians in your paranoid visions. No wonder they don't let you Brits have guns. Your reading material is dangerous enough. Did you know Obama was the AntiChrist?
