And the reason for the degrading remark about our last President is what ? It has what to do with what ?
Your opinion on
".......only reason that a couple of posters here keep referring to President Obama's full name is to try and get under our skin."
is your opinion and you alone.
If you check the archives of this forum, and other political forums you will see the last President refered to as George Walker Bush many times..as well as William Jefferson Clinton. Lyndon Baines Johnson was well known by his middle name.....George Herbert Walker Bush was known by the name in many circles....James Earl Carter was another....Ronald Regan did not use nor was he known in many circles with his middle name (Wilson)....of course Richard Milhous Nixon was known under that name quite openly.
There is a sensitivity, discussed during the campaign to his middle name. It seems to bring out lots of emotion for some reason (wonder why) It IS his name and despite your "opinion" can be used without "trying to get under your skin" !
