Just so you know, Senator Obama came by his name legitimately. His father actually was Kenyan.

Thanks for that information. I didn't know that, and I hereby withdraw my comment insofar as it concerns Senator Obama.

I still think some of the African sounding names taken by black Americans whose American ancestry goes back 2 or 3 hundred years are a bit silly, but of course that's just MHO.
