~rofl~ The Republicans are going to go ballistic..The name Barack jumps 10,000 spots
in name popularity.


WASHINGTON (CNN) – Then-Sen. Barack Obama's name may have been everywhere during the presidential campaign, but it did not make the top 1000 most popular picks for babies. Still, it gained popularity.

During 2008, the new president's first name ranked 2,409th on the Social Security Administration's annual list of the most popular baby names. That's a jump of more than 10,000 spots from the name's previous ranking in the 12,535th spot during 2007.

"President Obama's popularity peaks among Americans under the age of 30, who are, in turn, most likely to be having babies," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

1. Yes, but how many people are using it as their pet name for their penis?
"Meet my little Obama... he says, 'Yes, We Can.' Oh, yeah. Yes, We Can."
