Jamisjockey:
Whats the Barry reference to Obama over?

Scout26:
Barak ('mercanized) = Barry

xavier fremboe:

--- Quote --- Barry Obama decided that he didn't like his nickname. A few of his friends at Occidental College had already begun to call him Barack (his formal name), and he'd come to prefer that. The way his half sister, Maya, remembers it, Obama returned home at Christmas in 1980, and there he told his mother and grandparents: no more Barry.

Perd Hapley:
Rush Limbaugh has taken to calling him that.  I don't know if he does it more to annoy Obama, or in response to all the indignity over the use of Obama's middle name. 

I prefer Mark Levine's tactic of calling him Barack Millhouse Obama.
