It's getting tricky to know how to refer to he who presumes to be the next president. It was made clear several months ago that mentioning his middle name was a forbidden act. (Pass out more egg shells.) Then, last week "he" warned his followers that, having nothing honorable to say, Sen. John McCain would try to scare voters by pointing to Barack Obama's "funny name" and the fact that "he doesn't look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills."
Now, putting aside for the moment the racial component of his warning, what are we to make of the "funny name" reference? Many people have "funny" names. Some people think my last name - being very close in spelling to the adverbial form for the absence of content - is funny. Certainly Gov. Mike Huckabee's name is funny. Many on the left have had great fun with President Bush's last name. But we have all found our names perfectly serviceable and would expect people to call us by the names by which we identify ourselves.

Barack Obama!!!!! Hubris we can BELIEVE IN!!!!!
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!
Obambino, Tu Goomba?
Must be from the "Cathartic" tribe of Italians, the way the ONE carries on.
I distinctly remember my father carrying, on occasion, 5000 dollar bills and on ONE occasion had a 10,000 dollar bill, which he used to pay off the loan on our home.
It is repulsive to see such a mentality in a man who would be president.
To normal, sane, well-balanced people for sure, but for his fawning, scraping acolytes? No, to them his breathtaking, unearned arrogance is a sign of his superior intellect, and framing it in a less than deifying way would of course be racist......
Somehow I think the intellectuals from the Afro American community are having second thoughts about the "uppity" act, because it is a cover for weakness of experience and judgement on Obama's part.
You know, pretty girls who think they are ugly, who wear too much make up...that sort of thing.
Obama has that bad.
One would expect that of a teenager, not a sitting US senator.Maybe Obama is actually a case of arrested development?
Nothing like having a teenager run the country!
You can either be a leader or play the victim. You can’t do both.
How about Obermassah?
With Obama, the problem isn’t just what he doesn’t know, it’s also what he doesn’t know that he doesn’t know.
Out of curiosity: Southeast Asian?
As well as his apparent refusal to consider the possibility that he may not know something.
Exactly. With superior intellect like that, it's no wonder he beat the smartest woman in the universe. Thanks Barack. /sarcasm :)
I believe the Joel Chandler Harris version goes: “Fatt’ning hogs ain’t in luck.”
I like referring to him as B. Hussein; it has such a nice ring to it.
You know, if someone says that, Bob Herbert of the NYT will say we called him “boy.” This racist ploy can be nerver ending for the left.
We get the leaders we deserve. It all depends on if American insanity has reached critical mass. We're close, we're very very close.
On the one hand, I'm usually ready to give Americans the benfit of the doubt when it comes to presidential election, but then I think of the travesty of the Carter and Clinton administrations, and know that it was moronic Americans that elected them, and I realize that yes, this idiot socialist muslim just might reach the pinnacle of power in the United States of America less than a decade after 911 happened. It's all part of the commie plan of indoctrination, and far too many sheople have been assimilated and brainwashed into it, and proudly proclaim their idiocy and wear it as a badge of honor.
Well, at least Jeff's parents didn't name him Richard. :=)
The Trickle family did just that to one of their sons. Can you imagine going through school being known as "Dick Trickle".
Good guess: Vietnamese.
Over the last 100 and more years,, Richard has not been a popular, or even once used, name in our family.
“out of curiousity, southeast asian?”
viet nam. spelled nguyen. close equivalent is ‘mister’ in english. (i think)
