Some thing has been roiling in the back of my head. Some forgotten piece of info, and I have found it.
Ref: Jerome Corsi’s book, “The Obama Nation”, page 73. Barack Obama was known as Barry Obama at Punahou, according to Corsi, pg. 73. His nickname on the basketball team was “Barry the O’bomber”. On pag. 74, Corsi relates that his father visited him during this time period and addressed him as “Barry” too.
Now, putting that into perspective, I didn’t think much of Corsi’s book. As a matter of fact I forgot that I owned it. Corsi’s book seems to be mostly regurgitated from Barack Obama’s “Dreams from my Father” — a book report, so to speak, with a few contradictions thrown in to make the buyer think that he/she has purchased new material. Now that we all know what a liar Obama is, I wouldn’t believe anything based on DOMF.
How many second string high school basketball players have such an evocative nickname? Sounds a little ambitious to me.
