OK, it could have been an honest mistake; maybe the person who made this poster didn't realize that it reads like "Obama: Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done." But why associate Obama with the coming of the Kingdom of God? I have to strongly correct this Christian who made this sign. God's kingdom does not come through human governments.

Don't take my word for it; let the Scriptures speak for themselves.

My kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36).

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil 3:20).

Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:25-28)

[...] ...the rulers of this age [...] are passing away (1 Corinthians 2:6)
