This is making a huge assumption.
This is saying that he was originally called ‘Barack’, then he got adopted and became ‘Barry’ for awhile.
Then he chose to call himself ‘Barack’ again (for some reason), so even though legally he was now ‘Barry’, he chose to tell everyone his name was ‘Barack’.
What would be the point of all this? It seems so absurd. And what’s the big deal? Just tell everyone that’s your legal name and move on. If he was born here that’s the real issue.
Now if his signature on the healthcare bill is ‘Barack’ and that’s not legal, that’s a different story. . . . .
But I’m not buying this idea.

I found and posted an article on a couple of the earlier long BO threads that talked about his time while at Occidental College. It listed and named a number of students at the school who knew or interacted with Obama. Around the time he made his big political speech on campus he had a conversation with a female student who convinced him the name 'Barry' which is the name he went by was not 'black or radical' enough and he should start using 'Barack' instead. He tried it and like it and have apparently used it ever since. I tried to find that article again but couldn't. It was probable scrubbed. However, I may have saved it and sometime when I have the time I'll see if I can retrieve it.

Well, that seems to sum up his entire life.

Stranger things have happened, albeit not many.
