Not my decision, I just don't like him and with all that this country has gone thru it amazes me that he's gone this far with a name that sounds like that of our enemies. Open minded people would agree with that, close minded people would argue it's only a name

Sunday Morning commentator Mo Rocca said he may have trouble getting support simply because of his name.

Never mind Barack Obama's color. The real challenge will be getting Americans to vote for a guy whose name is Barack Obama. It's just so foreign sounding. Strange, maybe even dangerous. Ted Kennedy already slipped up and last year called the golden boy/junior Senator from Illinois "Osama." And they're in the same party!

The first name isn't the problem. We've had Rutherford, we've had Grover, we've had the suspiciously-Muslim-sounding Abraham.

Besides he can always just go with the first initial followed by the middle name, like former FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover. That would make him B. Hussein Obama. Hussein's his middle name?! He'd be better off with Milhouse. Or maybe he should just go with J. Edgar Hoover.

But I digress. The last name, Obama, is the tough part. It's not Adams or Coolidge. It's not even an anagram for anything remotely WASP-y sounding. Amoab? Too many vowels.

Yes, some of this would be mitigated if he were Caucasian, even Irish-Catholic. But would candidate Barack O'Bama have a much easier shot? Nope.

And yet the name presents such possibility. There's just so much you can do with it. A gathering of Obama lovers becomes an Obamarama.

A triumph at the New Hampshire primary? Obamatastic.

Mothers for Obama? Obama-mamas.

Star Wars fans will naturally call him Obama-Wan Kenobi.

And followers of Emeril Lagasse who plan on voting for the Senator will be shouting "o-BAM-a!" (an example of what your English teacher might call Obamatapoeia).

The mantra of his doo-wop supporters? I've got a candidate named Obamalamadingdong!

Of course not everyone is an Obamaniac, marching behind their leader like some Obamaton. Certain Democrats even are probably downright scared. Just call it Obamaphobia.

I still can't get over the fact we're in 2008 and people are still scared of foreign sounding names.

The country is fucked up because the government doesn't have to listen to it's citizens. Prop 187 passed by a big margin in California in 1994 and ONE judge said it was unconstitutional and the LAW was put to rest. People that think it's about one politition have not been paying attention.
