If I refer to Barack Obama as

[madeline_con]

"BHO" in all of my posts, do you think people might get the idea that I'm an Islamophobic, or have been called too many times by that crazy guy, or some other reason other than it's easy to type "BHO"?

I'm just wondering if some 'Dems' may have taken a sip or two of the dreaded elixer!

[NYCGirl]

1. "Obama" is only 2 characters longer, and is just as easy to type. NT

[fadedrose]

14. I'm just going to type O.....because

even tho "Obama" has only 5 letters, it has 3 syllables, which makes it take longer to say than "Clinton." Obama just seems longer.

GWB was recognized as W, so what's wrong with O?

[question everything]

21. O is reserved to Oprah. You don't want to get her lawyers on your case

now, do you?

[fadedrose]

40. Oh God NO

[sniffa]

22. But them I'm going to think you're talking about Oprah

as will everyone else, thanks to her hogging of every cover of O Magazine.

I have no doubt the reason she endorsed and campaigned for Obama, was to keep her face in the news and protect O image.

:eyes:

[fadedrose]

41. Yes, of course you're right...

[JVS]

38. PrezO

[JVS]

39. But CandO now and NomO when appropriate

[fadedrose]

delete

[fadedrose]

42. Hey, we got our new language, al---right

[fadedrose]

43. Believe it or not...

I have never once watched Oprah.....or American Idol for that matter....

[question everything]

20. What about HRC vs. Clinton? (nt)

[ChairmanAgnostic]

23. What, she FINALLY filed for divorce? I figured that would happen

[PBS Poll-435]

29. Who is going to get custody of Chelsea?

:P

[DemVet]

31. So is Barry.

[Radio_Lady]

35. BO has had another meaning for decades in my long life.

I'd rather go with BHO, but I'd decide when it's more necessary.

Right now, the sidelines are great.

Cordially,

Radio Lady

2. I think it's fully appropriate

I often refer to him as BHO and to Clinton as HRC... and to Bushie as GWB for that matter.

He has nothing to be ashamed of in his middle name. His name shouldn't be treated differently from anyone elses.

[madeline_con]

5. What if it were used consistently by a basher of Obama?

just wondering...

[JuniperLea]

30. I'm pretty much disgusted with the bashing of both candidates

I think it's time to start fighting the REAL enemy... not HRC, not BHO, and not our fellow DUers!

If that person thinks they are clever, let them think it. Why sink to their level by arguing about nothing that matters. It's stupid to point out his middle name, as if there were something wrong with it. What the heck, I think we've learned without a shadow of a doubt that he is of the Christian persuasion anyway. To make believe he is anything else makes one look really stupid.

[JackintheGreen]

3. Don't like it

always makes me think of BTO. Weird, right?

[TexasObserver]

4. You can call me "B-Ho," but ya doesn't have to call me "BHO"

B-ho I can dig.

B-ho is 2008.

BHO? WTF?

[Bucky]

8. !!

Excellent. I'm a B-Ho, too!

[Warren Stupidity]

6. Obama is too difficult?

Come on. It's easy.

[Cha]

32. Obama just rolls off

the keys.

[stillcool]

7. I think you should type whatever you want...

If Obama is too long of a word for you so be it.

[madeline_con]

15. It's not me, it's a poster who seems to hate Obama.

:eyes:

[stillcool]

26. Well...I've seen him called much worse...

typical name calling..just like 4th Grade, and why I love Ignore.

[Bucky]

9. It's silly & lacks the sharp meter of "FDR"

But it's certainly not as offensive as calling our future president "B.O."

[DevonRex]

10. I generally see folks use that as a dig. Just the facts. nt

[madeline_con]

18. That's the way I see it, too.

[4themind]

11. Doesn't matter that mucht to me although

I just call him obama, just a couple extra letters,but whatever floats your boat. AS long as you are ready for complaints about it

[BlooInBloo]

12. Do any Obama supporters do that?

[Levgreee]

13. I don't consider it bad, taking the time to type Barack Hussein Obama, that seems like they have an

agenda

it's not like obama is hard though...

obama takes me just as much time as bho because going to the H is a bit slower.

[lojasmo]

16. I get the idea that you're lazy.

Or perhaps simply disrespectful.

[madeline_con]

19. It's not ME!

I'm talking about another poster.

[lojasmo]

34. Oops. Sorry.

THEY are lazy and disrespectful.

[rug]

17. BO has problems too.

[BlooInBloo]

27. hahaha! Yah - 86 on the BO plz.

[TragedyandHope]

24. BHO JFK MLK RFK, sounds good to me

[w13rd0]

25. BHO...

...is, in technical parlance, a "Browser Helper Object", more commonly known as a trojan. An unfortunate coincidence, but given Obamas technical platform, I forgive him.

[bpeale]

28. better than insinuating that he stinks (BO?)

[Lost-in-FL]

33. Aren't those his initials?

Why would that make u an Islamophobic?

[Orsino]

36. I never had a problem with BHO. Beats BO, in my opinion.

But it offends a lot of people of the stupid emphasis by the pinheads on his middle name.

[Major Hogwash]

37. Refer to him as President Obama.

Be the first on your block and become popular with all of your friends.

[Warren DeMontague]

44. Somebody might think you're talking about an airport.

But other than that, it probably wouldn't bother me.
