Should we start paying attention to a candidates name to assess their intentions?

Think about it, We got SCOTT Walker, Rick SCOTT, SCOTT Brown, RICK Snyder and they've all been RW nutjobs. It might be time to exclude anyone with the name that includes the word RICK or SCOTT, Oh and let's not forget RICK Sanitarium!

But already you have won the "Absurd Post of the Day" award.

Tell me, what do you think of the name Barack Hussein Obama?

That's a mantra common with some other websites.

Barack Hussein Obama? LIke everyone else, we don't choose our name unless we change it after birth.
I thought the post was worth a laugh and could draw out a few conspiracy theorists. If you didn't enjoy it, sorry, my fail.
