Obama should just smile and wave at Teddy and tell him to go ask the good people of Texas that voted for him for the money.
Nah... Brown people like 'Bobby' Jindal who believes the Earth is 6000 years old and is embarrassed to keep his first name that his own mother gave him in order to fit in are loons and a disgrace to us brown folks.
I disagree... Obama is just as much a piece of **** person as Cruz. We need to straighten this color thing out... We have people calling themselves Black and Brown and they're not actually Black or Brown. I'm guilty of it too.
Does he go by Barry as his official name in 2015? Did people vote for/vote against Barry Obama or Barack Obama? Does Bobby Jindal go by Bobby or Piyush? Jindal isn't that daft, he knew what name to go with when going into politics.
it's not the same though. you usually change to blend in. changing it to 'barack', an african name draws more attention.
iirc Cruz opposed the Sandy relief bill because it had no spending offsets and also because a bunch of unrelated corporate welfare pork was included (emergency spending bills are the best time to sneak in that crap).
It is anyone's personal choice and doesn't make them a loon. Never met a chinese who told you their name was Jenny or Frank? They are probably tired of hearing their name said incorrectly. I have no idea how to say Piyush, Barack is very straight forward.
