American politics - you gotta love 'em! Now the Obama campaign has started complaining because the McCain folks are getting his name RIGHT! When speakers have referred to him as "Barack Hussein Obama" the Obama campaign has called it unfair and saying that this stirs up resentment toward the candidate (who, earlier in his campaign said he was proud of his name). Guess his' decided to change his stance on that, too!
But it goes beyond political bickering, the local ACLU and NAACP chapters have also asked for an apology. Obama is calling in the big guns - FBI investigations have been ordered against some who have dared to refer to Obama (who would be the president of the United States, for cryin' out loud!) by his full birth name.
Of course, this isn't really new for Obama. Recall that when he was in school, he presented himself as Barry Obama, so others wouldn't call him Barack.
Identity crisis? Ashamed of his connections? Or just pathetically confused? GACK! What a candidate for leader of the free world!
