Public Comments

1. It is a Kenyan name.
2. sounds ??? has nothing to do with what is .Weak sounds like week. But He is neither. Is he?
3. And what is your name? It better be something like Jane Smith....or I will have to say it is "kinda weird". You need to get out more....maybe visit a big city or two.
4. Well, I found it wierd that we had a Bush, a Dick and a Colon running out country recently.
5. yes i think that dude is so damm weird he is i dont like him at all !!
6. His father is African. His name isn't what's important though, it's about how much he'll help this country. There are crazy people out there who say he's muslim and all kinds of other weird stuff, but it's all b.s.
7. yes, it's weird. Wait until we know him for real. This guy is a rookie who chants "change" cause that's all he has towards him....Let's see how he can actually change things.
8. He's giving the New England Patriots a run for their money on bandwagon supporters. Most of these people can't cite a single program he wants to install.
9. John McCain sounds like Andy Dufrain...maybe McCain belongs in Shawshank dumb logic
10. You're still a teenager, aren't you. This is why the voting age should be raised back to 21.
11. lol, like..whatever. Troll. Lean on ..a couch or something. This is not a question but a nasty insinuation.
12. His dad is a Muslim from Kenya. His full name is Barack Hussein Obama. I think some conservatives make too big a deal out of his name. He has no control over it, and so what if he were Muslim. 99% of Muslims are peace-loving people. It's that crazy 1% who have misinterpreted the message of their religion.
13. Wow . Its amazing no one has made that connection before.
14. it not just you I not going to vote for him I am going with Hillary or nothing
15. That is your opinion. My opinion of that statement is plain ignorance.
16. Congratulations! The "wierd" sounding name is how Hillary Clinton's people managed to spread the rumor that he was Muslem. Actually, his father was a Kenyan.. I imagine the origin of his name finds its way there.
17. Any woman who votes against Hillary is voting against her own best interests. Stop being idiots at some point, ladies. PLEASE for the sake of your daughters. Oh and let's not forget that Obama DOES have Muslim family ties and spent time in a Muslim school overseas. I love how people just ignore that.
18. In case you didn't know: You can't control what your parents or parent name you when your born. Your just being born you can't even talk yet.
19. I AM SO SICK OF THE COMMENTS ON THIS MANS NAME !!!!!!!!!!! GOD AMERICANS ARE SO SUPERFICIAL ! BTW HIS MIDDLE NAME IS HUSSAIN, NOW YOU PROBABLY WONT VOTE FOR HIM, LOL..
20. The names don't mean as much to me as his far leftist beliefs. He is so far out of the mainstream, has never had to deal with a foreign policy problem or a terrorist attack. He is not fit to be president. Both McCain and Clinton have had to deal with both in different ways and either one of them are better than Obama. I voted against him in the primaries and I will vote against him in November if I have to.
21. His dad is from Africa. If a was a dem I wold vote for him over someone that consistently changes her opinion w/ the latest opinion poll.
22. Barack used to introduce himself as "that skinny kid with the funny name." Hopefully you can see past his name, and vote for (or against) the person behind the name. Go OBAMA '08.
23. Its a common Muslim name and he has Arabic root,s.
24. The other person's right -- Barack is a Kenyan name. Obama's dad was an African goat herder -- yet his family emigrated to America, he had a son, and that son grew up to go to one of the best law schools in the country, turned down job offers from big firms to do public interest work for low pay, worked as a community organizer, taught Constitutional Law, and now is the first black Presidential candidate. God Bless America! I'll take someone named Obama any day if it means he understands the American Dream (maybe better than people named Hillary or John do)!
25. his full name is barack hussein obama did you know that? But voting shouldn't just be based solely on his name but also what you think he can do for this country. I know his name sounds kind of scary but yeah...
26. I like the name. He wants to unite people. He's got a little of everything. Black, White, Middle Eastern, Asian. We need people who have more love than hate. I think his sincerity and honesty are unquestionably his strongest attributes. He wants to put the power back into the hands of many over the hands of the few that control it now. He wants to improve our roads, hospitals, schools, and involve young people to make the world a better place. He is a positive message in a political world that mostly just tries to scare you. I am sick of other candidates being controlled by big businesses at the expense of the average person. He said people who work in this country should not be poor. I like that message. Why should a corporate CEO make in a day than many workers in the company make in a year? I think Obama stands for the people who have not had a voice for many years... if ever. Let's create a wave of change and make this world a better place. The hope that Obama envisions is a world where we take the highground and treat all people with respect, whether they are from the U.S. or from the Middle East. We need to unite the country and the world instead of making it unsafe.
27. Hillary 08! Vote for experience!!!!!!!!
28. I would NEVER vote for him. You are correct, his last name sounds too damn much like Osama.
