Barack Obama

He will have to change that name to get elected. Is that Klingon or something?

With Barack Obama, there is really less there than meets the eye, except to a liberal.

His name is African-Islamic in origin. Obama's father is a Kenyan Muslim who apparently took little interest in his upbringing. His mother is a classic white liberal. He was reared in a middle-class essentially white cultural lifestyle far removed from the urban black experience.

He has a way of invoking religion and using pious-sounding words, but if you probe below his religious exterior it you find a bowl of unitarian-style mush mouldering there.

He's tall and well-spoken. That counts for something. But conservatives will reject him for his unabashed liberalism.
