You would think they would want to make sure he’s at least a halfway decent president before branding their child for life with his name. Priorities...

A friend of mine is a civilian contractor in Afghanistan and he wasn’t able to vote because they didn’t get their ballots soon enough. I’m sure they did the same to the military.

Yes, they love and support the troops SO much, yet DENY them their right to vote!

Shameful and despicable.

I bought our Yellow Lab a new dogie toy, I named it Obama. The dog ripped it to shreds in minutes — I gave her a treat.

Troops Deployed Abroad Give 6:1 to Obama.

My uncle and mom worked hard to get Berry Allen Goldwater elected when in high school and thought very highly of him. When I had my 2nd son I named him Sean "Allen". Goldwater's middle name for them. Sean Berry just did not flow.

Wouldn't it be funny if Berry Baracks name before he changed it was inspired by Berry Goldwater.

If you merely go with the social, or "cultural," stance of a Berry Goldwater, he was a liberal. But otherwise no! Could have fooled his mom.

Mom Just told me that was not Goldwaters middle name . It was my cousins middle name! Cousin Berry was named for Berry Goldwater. I just assumed his middle name Allen was Goldwaters because my cousins was. I did not know that. My son passed when he was 4 years old so I never thought about it except Berry was Baracks name before he changed it!

BellStar,

I’m so sorry about the loss of your dear son and I loved your story about the mistaken origin of his name!

Sometimes the best stories come out of those kinds of misunderstandings.

Best regards to you,

I wonder if there were any German baby boys in 1933 who were named Hitler.

Bet that there were a lot of Alolfs.
