Barack Hussein Obama

Have you heard the latest uproar coming from Obama's camp? It's the use of his middle name. He doesn't want anyone to refer to him as Barack Hussein Obama-I guess because it may ignite a notion in people that it is a muslim name. Well, Mr. Obama, we are sorry, but if it is your name, then it is fair game to all. Just like Hillary Rodham Clinton. The press uses her middle name all the time. She even signs her middle name. If you don't like your name, then change it! There is no law that says you have to keep a name you don't like. I have a cousin who changed his entire name because he was named after his father and he became so estranged from his father that he did not want his name. So, he changed it. If Obama doesn't like it, change it. After all, he is supposed to be the candidate who is going to change everything, so why not start with his own name!?!?

Mr or Ms Popularity

Here's a new twist for the presidency. Instead of letting the candidates actually determine their fate, let them find 1 celebrity to represent them on the ballot-such as Oprah for Obama, Chuck Norris for Huckabbe, Jenna Jameson (pornstar) or Jerry Springer for Hillary, and Sylvester Stallone for McCain. Let the people vote for their favorite celebrity and whoever gets the most votes, then their candidate becomes President. Better yet, let's just put Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, and Nicole Ritchie on the ballot and let whoever wins be President. It makes about as much sense as allowing the idiots who don't even know the issues and where the candidates stand vote them in. After all, it is just a popularity contest.
