Who is Barry Sotero?

[rightwinger]

Bill Clinton changed his name also

And Bill Clinton is also.... lefthanded. THERE's your conspiracy.

Aaaaaaand... Go.

I'll start: O'bama - McCain - Kerry and Edwards - Gore - Clinton - Perot - Dole (sort of) - H.W. - Reagan - Ford - we haven't had a presidential election without a southpaw running for a major party since 1972. Wtf? Discuss.

Just like another serial rapist, Ted Bundy, Bill Clinton's acknowledged father was literally a traveling salesman or he could have been the milkman. Clinton's fatherless upbringing just like Bundy's fatherless upbringing might have led to all sorts of sexual deviant conduct.

Oh GOD

By that logic.....Clinton is a Serial Killer

"Barry" is a diminutive of Barack, an Americanization. It's not a name change, any more than calling someone named William "Bill".

Nor do Indonesian school records "prove" that Obama was "adopted" by Lolo Soetero.

 

[longknife]

Once again, the Redneck Liberals have done their very best to hijack the original thread!

There wasn't ANYTHING about others changing their names!!!

It was and is all about the deception and guile on the part of those backing Barry Hussein and their efforts to destroy this nation as it was founded!

"Who is Barry Sotero?"

He is the biracial son of Barack Hussein Obama Sr. and Stanley Ann Dunham, for starters.

Riiight. Except post 5

And post 11.

And post 17.

Not counting replies to any of those.

Um....I see nothing here that states it has anything to do with the name "Barry".....

Barack Obama's first name is the anglicized version of Baraka, which means 'blessing' in Kiswahili (aka Swahili), a language spoken by Senator Obama's Kenyan father.

Baraka means 'blessing' in Kiswahili and comes from the Arabic spoken by the Omani Arabs that lived and traded along the coast of East Africa. Though it came to Kiswahili from Arabic it no longer has any sectarian connotations and is in common use amongst East Africans of all faiths. It is a common name for boys in Kenya and Tanzania.
What is the origin of the name Barack

I wonder why, if he was born in Hawaii and is American, why he changed his name from Barry to Barack? Barry is an American name.....was he not proud of that?

You don't "change" your name from a diminutive. Bobby Blue Bland, who died this week, was named "Robert". He didn't have to change his name to be called "Bobby". Use your head.

I have a relative whose name is Richard; since he was named after his father, as a child they started calling him "little Dick". He changed that pretty fast to "Dickie", and when he grew to adulthood, to "Dick" as a sign of maturity. It happens every day every where.

It is interesting though that you selectively quoted your own source to highlight the "Arabic" and "African" associations, while forgetting to mention altogether that Barak comes from Hebrew... just a coincidence I'm sure...

And what you said has nothing to do with what we're talking about, because BARRY is not a "knickname" for Barack! All the names you listed have common knicknames as you pointed out. Barry is not a common name for Barack no matter how you try to spin it! Lol! Nice try tho

Ummmmmmmm.... If "Barry" is not a logical nickname for "Barack" --- then what is??

"Rock"?

As far as what's a "common" nickname ---- how many "Barack"s do you know in the Anglophone world? More than one? I doubt it.

Your post has severe stretch marks.



(I'm reminded here of a favourite Mark Twain quote here: "if K-A-T doesn't spell 'cat', what does it spell?")

I recall a Thai co-worker I once had. Her nickname was "Porn".

Of course it is. I don't see why you're not getting that.

"Barry" is a nickname, used because "Barack" sounds exotic.

Just like how my friend Yehuda goes by "Sam" and my friend Yevgeny goes by "Eugene".

"Barry" is a common nickname for any name that starts with "Ba".

Do you think that nicknames are reserved for specific given names?

Example: Al is a nickname for Albert, Allen, Alphonse, and countless others.

Ok...and there's people that I work with in our company in China, they call themselves all kind of "american" names....makes it easier for us Americans. Why would Obama change his name to Barack, when Barry is actually an American name? You guys still haven't convinced me and I don't think you would. Common sense says that he would want us to believe he's an American, but yet he chooses a Kenyan name. Makes no sense.....but you guys keep making excuses for him

You actually think nicknames are exclusive??

"Gerry" could be "Gerald" -- or "Jeremiah" -- or "Geraldine"...
"Al" for "Allen", "Allan", "Alan", "Alphonse", "Aloysius"...

I've got a French Canadian friend whose name is "Jacques" but we call him "Jack" -- even though the English cognate for Jacques is James...

Seriously? Everybody gets one nickname each?

Ridiculous. Nicknames are unofficial and elective.

Stretch marks.

Doesn't appear so since you're determined to not-read what we're saying.

Why does "common sense say that he would want us to believe he's American" --- whatever that means? How does that assumption become a logical premise?
The name he "chose" was his birth name. Duh?

Stretch marks. BIG stretch marks. Doesn't look good.

Jesus fucking Christ.

He was born Barack Obama. When he was a kid, he went by Barry, so he wouldn't get made fun of.

When he became an adult, he started going by his birth name again.

How is this hard to understand?

So if that's true....why did Obama even bother to legally change his name FROM Barry Soetoro TO Barack Obama? Why not Barry Obama? Because Barry's not "exotic" enough? Lol! You both have this covered pretty well!

If Barry is a nickname, why then would Obama have to LEGALLY change it to Barack?

If he wanted his last name to be Obama, and not Soetoro, all he had to do is change the last name. Why if Barry is a NICKNAME did he have to legally change it? Wouldn't his legal name already be Barack, if Barry is only a nickname anyway?

Where in the blue fuck do you get the idea that his name was ever legally "Barry" in the first place?
And how is it any of your business if he chooses to revert to his birth name rather than the surname of a stepfather who has nothing to do with his biology??
I mean Jesus Christ on a Bicycle, really??

"Confused" is right.

I hope on January 22nd, 2017, Obama announces to the world that he actually WAS born in Kenya.

Just to mess with the Birthers.
