WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama unveiled the official name of his presidential campaign Monday in papers filed with the Federal Election Commission. Eschewing the traditional "Obama for President" moniker, the Illinois Democrat has opted instead for "Obama for America."
Other presidential campaigns that have used the "[Candidate] for America" nomenclature include:
* "Dean for America" (2004) -- Howard Dean (D-Vermont) * "Bartlet for America" (1999-2006) -- fictional TV president Josiah Bartlet (D-NBC's "The West Wing")

KEYWORDS: bartlet; democrat; obama; westwing
I thought so.

B. Hussein Obama is strictly a media manufactured candidate. It began with his empty speech at the Democratic convention when the MSM claimed a Messiah had come! The fact is he's not only just another ultra-liberal windbag but an inexperienced windbag.

Bump what you said. Perfect.
I would add that B. Hussein Obama is an oily scumbag, as well.
To: MadIvan
I didn't realize America was an elected office.
What a stupid moniker!

Maybe if he wasn't so hellbent on being an anti-American, anti-war, empty-suited Socialist, it might work.

Obama is running for President in 2016, not 2008.

Sigh. I feel I must also point out that he really isn't THAT good a speaker. Just because the media says he is doesn't make it so.
What he is is glib. So was Bill Clinton.
And I am already sick of him.

I was worried that Obama was an extension of liberal "West Wing" fantasies. This item lends credence to that view - the liberals think politics is an extension of show business.

I'll get worried if they try to get John Spencer to be VP. Firstly, he's dead, but that may not be an obstacle for them...
