A lot of kids are going to hate their names in eight years.

I don't understand the celebrity factor. He stands for no real change. He represents no hope. What a joke...

There's a reason we don't typically name roads after people until after they pass away. The same should certainly be said for babies...man, these people sure are taking a pretty big risk naming their kids after a guy with such potentially dangerous plans. Then again, people who celebrity-worship like that probably won't even notice if Obama guts the country inside and out.

It's a cult of personality. I wonder how many parents named their kids after Adolf Hitler and later regretted it?
