>It pretends that a name given at birth defines the man or his policies, which is a ridiculous assertion.<
The name by itself may not have that much meaning, but taken in context that Mr Obama was in a madrassa as a young child (when you are at your most impressionable) and is currently a member of a blatantly black supremacist church, the name should be pointed out to the average clueless voter, who won’t bother to study the man in depth.
That lazy, sloppy, approach makes the speaker sound like the average, clueless, racist, uninformed, bigot.
It is up to responsible conservatives to point out the details and inform the ignorant. NOT sink to their level!
