There is a biography of Barry Soetoro 's Occidental College days. It states that when Barry Soetoro was 18-19 he attended school as BARRY SOETORO. And it wasn't until he met a girl by the name of REGINA that was the first to start calling him Barack. See:

The importance of this is that it clearly shows that Barry was using his Indonesian name, and of course, his Indonesian passport.
The International Herald Tribute (The Global issue of the New York Times)
also states:

"Nearly three decades ago, Barack Obama stood out on the small campus of Occidental College in Los Angeles for his eloquence, intellect and activism against apartheid in South Africa. But Obama, then known as Barry, also joined in the party scene."
The LA Times also claims below that Barry was the choice of names that Barry Soetoro used when he first arrived from Hawaii to Occidental:
http://articles.latimes.com/2007/jan/29/local/me-oxy29
"Memories of 1980 at Occidental College’s Haines Hall have the standard fragments of the era: stereos blasting the B-52’s through the dorm, pot-fueled bull sessions about the revival of draft registration, late-night cramming for economics exams.
"That otherwise private nostalgia took on public significance this month when a former Haines Hall resident from Hawaii known at the time as Barry announced that he was forming an exploratory committee to run for president of the United States."
Even Occidental College states that Newsweek reported that Barry entered their college as BARRY SOETORO under his Indonesian passport and NOT as Barack Obama.
It was at Occidental where he stopped being called “Barry” and became Barack Obama, Newsweek pointed out in its account of Obama’s formative years that featured his black-and-white freshman photo on the cover. “It was when I made a conscious decision: I want to grow up,” he told the magazine.
One of Barry Soetoro's college buddies says this of our Indonesian student:

"Tom Moyes remembers the first time he heard the name Barack Obama. It was in the fall of 2004, after the electrifying speech Obama delivered at the 2004 Democratic Convention. That was the oration, of course, which introduced the young would-be Illinois Senator to America and inspired an instant following not only in the U.S. but around the world. Moyes had missed the speech because he was on an extended vacation in New Zealand at the time. “So I pick up this newspaper,” says Moyes, who grew up in San Gabriel and graduated from Occidental College in Eagle Rock, “and it has this huge article about this guy Barack Obama. And it says he had gone to Occidental at the same time I was there. And I said to myself, ‘There’s no way.’ I’d never heard the name Barack; I’m thinking it must be a mistake. “So I call a friend I went to Oxy with, Ken Sulzer, and I say, ‘Ken, I’m down here in New Zealand and there’s this article about some guy named Barack that went to college with us. Who is that?!’” “I said, ‘That’s Barry, man,’” says Sulzer, using the nickname Obama went by during his youth, “the guy with the big afro who lived across the hall from me in the dorm.’
It is clear that the students at Occidental did not know Barry Soetoro by the name of OBAMA. Instead he was using his Indonesian name and passport. This story cleverly hides the fact that the confusion came not from the first name Barry or Barack, but because of the LAST NAME Soetoro vs. Obama.
Okay so why did Barry suddenly change his name from Barry Soetoro to Barack Obama a year after he entered school? (I don't believe that REGINA story above.) It was simple. His mother and adopted dad got divorced in August of 1980. So naturally, when he entered Occidental in 1979 he used his Indonesian name...then immediately after his mom's divorce he desired to revert back to his birth name of Barack Obama.

We get our parmesan imported from Italy in a huge wheel and divide it up amongst all the sisters and sister in laws.
Tastes nothing like the salty shredded powder that is sold in stores.
I take back everything I ever said that could be concluded to be mean, harmful, wrong, or in the least bit offensive to you or yours...OR, your future relatives.
How do I get some of that?
Ah yup. Side with all the skin pigmentation. Ignore the fact that the skin pigmentation of the Luo raids villages of the skin pigmentation of the Native Africans and throws children as young as 9 into mine shafts to work 12 hour shifts.
Then, there are the native African skin pigmented women and children that are ‘casual workers’. Slaves would be wrong, so new names makes it sound nice.
Love is blind. Apparently skin pigmentation is blinding too.
Our family is from a village in Italy. We send them goodies and they send us goodies. We get enough to share. I would be willing to mail you a chunk from the wheel next shipment.
I’m telling you, shredding it yourself will build muscles; but you will never buy that powdery stuff from the store again.
Dang woman...how in the heck do you assume so much?
Cheese baby.....let's talk cheese.
That wasn’t directed at you. That was directed to the observation you made about skin pigmentation aligning with each other despite the fact that is where the harm is coming from.
I am surely up for it.....
I have references....Just let me know when you are doing the next shipment.
I've a hunting friend in Corfu, Greece....( Yeah, it's odd...) I've threatened to visit him many times.....I want to go someday.
I've been to NZ..and OZ,....and many islands in between. But long for Europe.
Keep me in mind,...
Thanks-
And have seen it very personally.......
FRegards,
Sausage too? Or just the cheese wheel?
You come thru on this...and you have a friend for life.
I Love Lucy!!
Yea, he did the right thing and resigned. Will BHO do the same, or "cling" to an office he is not eligible for, if and when that becomes obvious to almost everyone.
But that aside, Agnew, or his speech writer, did have a way with alliteration.
Italians never mess around when it comes to food.
That’s the episode she smuggled cheese in from France on the airplane.
Not if his political (small "p") stances were those of a Clarence Thomas, J.C. Watts or Jesse Patterson. Or his "sermons" were like those of Pastor Manning.
Then at best, he'd be called an Oreo. Maybe an Oreo with double stuff, more white than black.
Count on it.
And then lied on his application for the Illinois bar about having ever gone by any other name than Barack Obama.
Yes indeed.
I lived in HI for many years and I agree with you. If I went somewhere with a darker skinned individual the treatment I got was entirely different than if I went somewhere alone or with another haole. Some places are worse than others on the islands.
I swear you must be making this sh*t up as you go along.
DON”T PANIC, it may not be true. How long did it take you to get here after this was posted? What kind of alarm goes off?
