Obama’s Early Life Scrutinized From Abroad

While Hillary Clinton has been drawing a lot of positive press coverage from her speech in Des Moines today, Barack Obama’s early life has been receiving quite a bit of scrutiny from the foreign press. The London Evening Standard describes Obama’s father as a drunk and a bigot (and a bigamist to boot). However, the Sunday Times has uncovered something far more unsettling. Apparently, Barack Obama wasn’t always called Barack. He was once called Barry. It’s a good thing he went back to his given name. Barry Obama just doesn’t have the same ring to it. However, his reversion to his given name stands in firm contrast to another Presidential candidate with polygamist roots. The former Governor of Massachusetts learned long ago that just about any first name is an improvement over Willard Romney.
