A silly name isn't really so important for a politician unless the position is the President of the United States. It's just an issue about global perception: "President Huckabee" would be a liability to our country because it is a stupid sounding name. "President Obama" simply sounds too much like "President Osama." Yes, for the President of the United States - names ARE important.
The world is packed full of shallow thinkers I'm afraid. |
