Reply:who cares, obama hussein isnt, really worth mentioning, and people should be up in arms as to (how does he have the right to run for presidency), and many people will vote for him on the false assumption that he has black blood, as I have heard he doesn't......
Reply:It'll change in November. It's highlighted because you don't see a lot of people named Obama.
Reply:Yahoo doesn't like Obama
Reply:That is because they have not added it to their dictionary - one would think they would by now.
Reply:Why didn't he leave his name Barry Soetoro? Why did he want to sound like the man all Americans suppose to hate?
