I did not insult you. I pointed out that your claim was not logical, and supported my point by example. The logic speaks for itself, but if you need reference, try Matesian Logic.

The interview claim was not mine, but I grant that my point is dependent on a fact of her having said what was represented.

ga medic: Not one person has stepped forward to say he used a different name.

You're showing impertinence by foisting this statement as well, in light of the clear evidentiary reference to the sister's CNN interview. If this turns out to be substantially correct, you will have been shown in at least twice to be completely counterproductive to discussion of this issue. People will rightly suspect you're simply an Obot troll.

I asked you for the source of your claim that Obama’s sister made the claim. Until someone can provide more than an unsubstantiated claim, then it is not evidentiary. It is only speculation. I already gave you a link to a copy of Obama’s yearbook. There are more.

This is a youtube video of Obama playing basketball for his high school team. Clearly he was using the name Obama.

This is a page from his 6th grade yearbook, where he is using the name Barry Obama.

This is a copy of multiple pages of Obama’s high school yearbook. He is Barry Obama in all of them.

“It was at Occidental where he stopped being called “Barry” and became Barack Obama, Newsweek pointed out in its account of Obama’s formative years that featured his black-and-white freshman photo on the cover. “It was when I made a conscious decision: I want to grow up,” he told the magazine.”

This is a quote with a link from a news article online at occidental. They seem to think he went by Obama when he attended school there as well.

Another video, this one made during his Occidental college days, where he is clearly going by the name of Barack Obama.

I am not being counterproductive, and while I don’t know or care what Matesian logic is, I have basic common sense. I have provided actual proof that he was known as Obama, not Soetoro, during junior high, high school, and college. You have restated a comment, made by someone you don’t know, with no additional evidence whatsoever. Yet, you claim I am illogical. The only logic I see here, is that when you have no answer for the information I am providing, you resort to calling me an Obot troll. I will be waiting for your evidence that he didn’t go by Obama until he attended Columbia. I am sure it will be coming quickly. /s
