This is what "investigative journalism" looks like in 2010.

Your comment was pitch-perfect. Kudos!

[MadJack]

How sweet.
I guess if you can’t decide whether you’re an Islamist or a Communist hedging bets with the kids’ names is one way to compensate.

[Kickass Conservative]

We live in a Nation of self important ignorant fools.

Obama goes to bed every night laughing at these idiots.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Heaven forbid they use those electrons investigating Democrat’s complicity in the sub-prime mortgage disaster, financial crisis of 2008 or 2010 (pick one), the Blago scandal, Obama inviting terror attacks or Iran’s quest for nuclear weapons! No, let’s do a piece on how popular the Obama family is, even though they’re not!

Earlier tonight I named something “Barack” but now it’s floating with thousands of its own kind in a lagoon several miles from here.

Good... Real good.

[txhurl]

Leave the kids out of it.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

My favorite is “Phunkreshia”. Top that!

[pennyfarmer]

It is err.. was.

“Leave the kids out of it.”

What? I didn’t mention the kids...

[pennyfarmer]

Honestly I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I don’t think I could drag my sorry but to naming my kids after any first family members.

I named my last little girl Tesla. She will turn 1 this next week. I named her after Nicola Tesla. He was a great man and a greater American. He stood for “real” hope and really wanted the best for his fellow man. Not this communist crap. He was a capitalist but not a greedy bastard. We should rely on names that mean something to us. The first family doesn’t mean crap to me.

Geez who could possibly have so much time on their hands that they care about the kids names. If you do happen to have that much time on your hands please use it consider how garbage like this makes conservatives look like idiots...,

I think that Melia is the Hawaiian word for Mary. Maybe they just used a variant spelling.

[fish hawk]

Yeah, leave the kids out of it. They wont be full Communists for another four or five years when their indoctrination is complete. Then we can let them have it.
