As far as the college thing is concerned...they will grasp at any straw and untruth to discredit and hate our President. Oh that's right.....they do not consider him to be "their" President.
How do YOU know if somebody "hates" the president??? You assume a lot and stereotype everyone who adamantly disagrees with him. It is a stretch to label everyone a "hater" for disagreeing, and actually, it is dangerous to label people as such.

By the way, Obama made a point of using all 3 of his names for strategic purposes, in his inaugural oath.

The president-elect told the Chicago Tribune that he would use his middle name out of tradition but also because it could help re-establish ties with Muslim countries.

“I think we’ve got a unique opportunity to reboot America’s image around the world and also in the Muslim world in particular,” Mr. Obama told the newspaper Tuesday. He also said he had an “unrelenting” desire to “create a relationship of mutual respect and partnership in countries and with peoples of good will who want their citizens and ours to prosper together.”

The world, he said, “is ready for that message.”

As part of his effort to restore relations with the Muslim world, Mr. Obama also has said he planned to deliver a major speech in an Islamic capital, which he did not identify."
