what is it with this guy and his names?  Man.  He should make peace and so should his followers with his diversity.

the demeaning nature in which people use the name. They would have never called him Barry if they were so in love with hating him.

call him that!  It is amazing... Obama and supporters now lay claim to the English language.  No matter what they say, no offense was ever intended, no matter what a Clinton supporter says it's always offensive.  Tiring trying to watch every single word.

Hillary is Hillary, HRC, Clinton.  

Obama is OHB, Barry...anything wrong with that, his grandma loves him and calls him Barry.

You call him that because you respect his loving grandmother? You did not start calling him Barry until he started beating Hillary.

Explain the change then?

calling him Barry.  I believe this was posted a few days ago.

Amen. (none / 0) (#55)

Seriously, I'm tired of dancing around his name.  

And besides, if he wants to publicly portray himself as approachable and a "regular guy" as he over exposes himself to the voters in PA, then I think it's more than appropriate to refer to him as "Barry" in this context.  That's why I chose to say "Barry" instead of "Obama" or "Barack" or "BO" or whatever.

The problem with "Barry" (5.00 / 1) (#149)
by magster on Fri Apr 18, 2008 at 11:45:26 PM EST
is that we might confuse him with the actor who plays Greg Brady.

to type BO. I mean, isn't it obvious?

Jeralyn posted the other night and asked everyone (5.00 / 1) (#89)
by IndiDemGirl on Fri Apr 18, 2008 at 09:08:14 PM EST
to NOT call Obama either BO or Barry.

[ Parent ]
Well, then see? (none / 0) (#94)

My instincts were correct!

ok, then I don't want to stir up whatever  that debate was, and will respect jeralyn's request from now on.  But I do still feel that my comment was pretty clear in context.  

[ Parent ]
Agreed (none / 0) (#123)

Calling Barack Obama "Barry" or "BO" is intended to be demeaning and those comments will be deleted.
