It’d be nice if this is real...however, the first name should be spelled Barak and it should list him not as II but as III?
Not sure you are correct here. Maybe someone knows the correct way to number children. I read somewhere that the correct way is
Barack
Barack Jr
Barack II
So the 3rd in line is II.
Hopefully someone knows on this. I am not stating I am correct here. But worth looking into.
But then again it would be easy for almost anyone to make this kind of mistake. I remember reading on this a long time ago from someone posted that he should not be II but should be Jr. So I do not know how this works.

Years ago many members of an extended family lived under one roof and it was common for two or more of them to have the same name.
The father would be Sr. and his son would be Jr. If the grandfather and grandson (but not the father) had the same name the grandson would not be Jr., he would be II. Similarly if a nephew had the same name as someone else living in the house he would be II rather than Jr.
Some uninformed people think II sounds classier than Jr. Obama is obviously one of them.
How his name should be spelled and how his mother spelled it are two different things. Maybe Stanley didn’t know any better. Remember she was American and Americans would use the BaraCk spelling if they didn’t know any better
