This speculation (or likelihood) isn’t new news. It’s been around for years. I wonder if it is linked to the rumors about why Obama gave up his law license, some of which claim he lied about something on his bar application—like other names he’s been known by.
It would be consistent to couple these two rumors if he went by the name of Barry Soetero, an Indonesian exchange student during those years.
Yes I too would like to know why the name change from Barry Soetero to Barack Obama. It doesn’t seem normal for someone to change their name unless they were trying to hide from something in their past.
