Hello to everyone.
I need to issue a correction.
I hate to talk about the children of our president in tje belief that the children should be off-limits, but just as Bill Clinton constantly brought in Chelsea Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama has brought his daughters repeatedly into the public spotlight.
Here is my correction — the daughter is actually named Natasha, not Sasha... her true name is Natasha Obama.
There was a lot of previous discussion about the name Sasha but this is just the nickname that they are now adopting — you can choose for yourself whatever reason you might think this is.
But I still remember my amazement in 2008 to find an African-American politician’s daughter to be named Natasha...
If this guy had been born and raised in America he would know that Natasha is the name of the evil KGB spy in the old cartoon Rocky and his friends — but since he is not one of us and not born among us and not raised among us he did not know this.
I repeat my comment from above —
Maybe he was naming his daughter Natasha in honor of his KGB cut out, the KGB spy who monitors him and gives him instructions.
Just kidding.
Or maybe not...
Everyone here who thinks Obama chose the name “ Natasha” just because he liked it, please raise your hands.
I thought so.
Not so many.
Go to Facebook. Type "Natasha" into the search box. Select 'People.' Then sit back in stunned amazement that there are a lot of young African American women named 'Natasha.'
Heck, arguably the most prominent young black superheroine in comic books is named Natasha.
But hey, if you'd rather fantasize that Obama is secretly a Russian spy who, as part of his cover, named his daughter after pop culture's most famous female Russian spy, knock yourself out. You can even claim that he was being extra sneaky because it's a name given to a lot of young black girls.
Because yeah, the Russian thing makes SOOOOO much more sense than 'Her parents liked the name.' It's not clunky or conspiratorial or unnecessarily complicated in the slightest.
