==Name concerns==
In the interest of pre-empting any kind of finger-pointing over consistency issues, I believe it is absolutely necessary to include information about WHY he hasn't legally changed his name. There are all kinds of statements in the [[Barack Obama]] article which try to illustrate some percieved Muslim agenda because he hasn't changed his Afro-arabic name to something more...Anglo-Saxon. Now, before you try to tell me that he is known as "Bobby": Aren't there plenty enough examples of Obama going by "Barry" for his high-school and some portion of his college days? I mean, come on. To say that Jindal gets a check-mark off the "'weird' religion's Manchurian candidate watchlist" but Obama doesn't is patently unfair, and not in line with being trustworthy or encyclopedic. Either changes must be made to this article, or to Obama's article. Thank you. [[User:OtherSide|OtherSide]] 10:19, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
