What is Obama's nickname?

[bluestateguy]

If he is going to be President, he needs an identifiable (positive) nickname. To my knowledge, nothing has really caught on yet.

Myself, I think "O-man" is a good one.

[Redstone]

1. "Baradude?" "Obaman?" Nah, both lame. I'll go with "Mr President."

Redstone

[Bicoastal]

2. His name is cool enough to not need one....

...whereas the Georges and Bills of the political world needed something to make their monikers stand out from the crowd.

Obama is the only Barack I know of. :)

[JoFerret]

"O worship him"

The nickname will emerge as he is more revealed as who he actually is.

[rzemanfl]

13. Well * has always been "Oh fuck him!" to me so this would be

a welcome change. You folks just don't quit, do you?

[JoFerret]

15. What assumptions are you making now?

?

[JeffR]

18. Don't be modest. No assumptions needed. You make yourself

crystal clear with everything you post.

[JoFerret]

30. Nice complement . Thanks

I wish the same could be said of the comment about which I was asking the question.

[davidpdx]

31. Give it up, the primary is over

Stop with the petty insults.

[AspenRose]

32. Lame. And. Tiresome.

I don't know why you bother. You're not fooling anyone. :eyes:

[Brigid]

27. Ding! Ding!

We have our winner. :)

[Alameda]

3. Why does he need a nickname? His name is wonderful as it is.

Barack means blessing...lets hope he is truly a blessing.

[Olney Blue]

4. Not Big Dog or the Chimp!

[mtnsnake]

5. "Barackuda" as in barracuda

[NC_Nurse]

10. They could play that Heart song every time he takes the stage!

It rocks. :P

[mtnsnake]

12. True, that song would rock for his campaign

[seasat]

8. That nickname would freak the religious righties out

"Hey look the O-man is on TV."

"The omen?!?! Oh my gawd, he's the omen...the antichrist! I've got to run hide in my cellar with my James Dobson books!"

Of course, it could be fun to watch.

[Motown_Johnny]

19. Black Eagle

[Condem]

22. Phi Slamma Obama

The Houston Team of 83.

[Duder]

23. I like President Black Eagle

In high school he was known as "Obamber" by his basketball team mates.
His secret service code name is "Renegade".

[Brigid]

28. Renegade?

Now what good is a Secret Service code name if everybody knows it? :shrug:

[Duder]

33. Convenience & tradition

These days, though, the code names have little to do with actual safety; instead they play a more ceremonial and logistical role, letting agents bark easily understood directions into their sleeves as a protectee is moving from location to location. "There's really no secrecy to it," said security expert William H. Pickle, who was the special agent in charge of Gore's detail. According to Pickle, the names were useful when radio and phone communications were unsecured and easily picked up by outsiders; now the military and Secret Service can communicate over highly secured lines, making a code name irrelevant. Still, habit lives on.
