How do you spell "Obama" in ancient Egyptian?

So it seems Obama discovered his own likeness in Egyptian hieroglyphs:

From the Liberal OC:

It is pronounced like the word “hair” and is commonly spelled “her” by Egyptologists. The hieroglyph was spotted by President Obama in the ancient tomb of Qar when he quipped, “that looks like me!”

The hieroglyph often means “because,” or ”on account of.”

Coincidence or did the ancient Egyptians predict the election of Barack Obama?

QUOTES

"Jews are still disadvantaged in many "Christian countries" where the faithful control the structures of education and impose rites of Christian affirmation on school children as part of school policy. We are concerned ... when the evangelical purposes of one church or of all churches are supported through disbursements from the public treasury."
