I think Barrack Hussien Obama is getting news coverage because of his name as well. I mean if a man named Manson Hitler Simpson ran he would get LOADS of attention simply because of that. Then say he was oh Japanese. EVERYONE would cover him constantly because we always have old white rich men run for office but how often do we have the Japanese owner of the authentic sushi bar in New York with the name Manson Hitler Simpson? NEVER. Obama is an oddity as far as politics are concerned. He is not only black and has a lot of younger voters but his name is so rich with culture it's an interest point for him.
