Speaking of being disingenuous and referring to his "name," an interesting fact has been reported as such:

According to a January 12, 2004, Copley News Service article:

"In an interview last week, Obama said he decided to call himself Barack -- a Swahili derivative of Arabic that means 'blessed,' as 'baruch' does in Hebrew -- after his father died."

Interestingly, in his Democratic National Convention speech (2004)Obama stated that:

"My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.

Okay, Barack ("Peace Be Upon His Middle No Name") Obama, which one is correct?

Which version were you for, before you were against, before you were for it?
