It is Barack [CENSORED] Obama, and that is the name they will use when he states his full name at the swearing in ceremony in Jan ‘09.
You can damn sure bet that if he is sworn in, it will be by his full name and the media will shove it in the face of everyone. The idea that only Obama can use his middle name is a loser — words have meaning and if you can control the words, you can control the argument. It is very similar to *pro choice* vs. *pro life*, *enemy* or *terrorist* vs. *insurgent* or *freedom fighter*, etc.
What if his middle name was Saddam? Would the RNC and some here insist that referring to him by that name — the name history will most certainly record — is off limits?
I shall await the incoming rationalizations....
