There was a controversy about whether or not to use the President's middle name in upcoming textbooks in Texas. Somehow it was supposed to be insulting to use the man's name. Note: it was DEMOCRAT types who were claiming it was an insult. You know why? Because they're raaaaaaaacists!
Be sure to throw that up in their faces if someone raises this issue with you. Say "you're just ashamed to have him as President because he's BLACK" and stand back and watch them splutter. If they ever come back from the stratosphere, tell them you were kidding, even if you weren't, then say the proper thing for Texas to do would be to use his middle name the same as with all the other presidents. It's either "John Fitzgerald Kennedy, George Walker Bush, Barack Hussein Obama" or "John Kennedy, George Bush, Barack Obama." A lack of consistency is bad for children, in discipline and in textbook name usage conventions. I'm for using middle names personally, but then I'm quite the rigid formalist.
Maybe they should mention in the social studies text book how it was a big flapdoodle when a Republican used his name, but when a Democrat uses it it's no big deal. Maybe we should also teach the children that BHO was elected only because he's (half) black, and a tabula rasa like he made himself out to be, with white skin, would never have stood a chance. Good luck getting THAT in a textbook!
In other news, woman tries to get a car company with the same name as her family name, to not use a common first name as a name for their upcoming new car, because it's her first name. And apparently it's personally deprecating her to use a name shared with 30,000 other people. Or something.
