The Anointed One, He Of The Funny Name

Obama has made race an issue from the South Carolina primary on when he attacked former president Clinton pulling the race card on he and Hillary. He's continued the injection of race through the present campaign dropping the race card a couple of times of Senator McCain and his campaign not to mention the supporters of him who are constantly referenced to as racists.

For a man who isn't even a true African American he sure is getting♠ a lot of mileage out of his limited African American heritage in this campaign that was supposed to elevate the racial issue as opposed to drag it right back into the sixties which is what Obama has done singlehandedly.

He Is Who He Is:

RealClearPolitics - Articles -"It's getting tricky to know how to refer to he who presumes to be the next president. It was made clear several months ago that mentioning his middle name is a forbidden act. (Pass out more eggshells.) Then, having nothing honorable to say, Obama warned his followers last week that Sen. McCain would try to scare voters by pointing to Obama's 'funny name' and the fact that 'he doesn't look like all the presidents on the dollar bills.'

Now, putting aside for the moment the racial component of His warning, what are we to make of the 'funny name' reference? Many people have 'funny' names. Some people think my last name -- being very close in spelling to the adverbial form for the absence of content -- is funny.

Certainly, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's name is funny. Many on the left have had great fun with President Bush's last name. But we all have found our names perfectly serviceable and would expect people to call us by the names by which we identify ourselves.

But He has made it clear that the mere use of His name would be freighted with coded innuendoes of something too horrible to say straightforwardly. One has to go back to Exodus 3:13-14 to find such strict instructions concerning the use of a name. Moses explained: "Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they say to me, 'What is His name?' what shall I say to them?" And God said to Moses, "I Am Who I Am." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I Am has sent me to you.'"

So perhaps we can call Him, for short, Sen. I Am (full code name: I Am who you have been waiting for). continued
