Do You Know President Obama's Full Name ?



This is interesing. Despite all the talk of the OBAMA birth certificate I never picked that up. Ann Althouse has

What is Barack Obama's full name?

I have to admit I can see why a Democrat  running for elected office would try to avoid use of that name. It sounds very Gilligans Island " I am Thurston Howell the  III like. :)

  1. Barack Hussein Obama II.

    Hearing the name 1,000 times a day has really desensitized me to how weird the name "Barack Obama" sounded just a couple years back.

    The "II" part might have made it sound even MORE odd, but I don't know.

    Maybe "II" instead of "Junior" is a cultural thing. I'm not overly familiar with Kenyan naming customs.

  2. According to the article it appears II would have been odd for even Kenya. It very well could have been a sort of odd thing the person that did the Birth Certificate decided to do.

    THought that would mean in Hawaii would should be seeing quite a few II folks walking around
