    I think it might be. I'm kinda surprised so many people are saying it isn't. I definitely remember reading that was his name as a child. I don't know what the guy above me thinks is so brave about taking his fathers name, people do it all the time. Is there anything this guy does that isn't immediately sainted? Jesus.

    No it is not his real name

    Barry is a nickname for Barack, Soetoro is the last name of Obama's stepfather, his real name is

    Barack Hussein Obama Jr.

    No, it isn't. He was named after his father, which is the name he uses. Barry was short for Barack and Soetoro was the last name of his stepfather.

    Apparently it is.. and I guess he changed it to honour his father, who I understand left him with his white mother when he was very young.

    Also I guess he fits into the black community better with a strange name... I don't know.. Barry seemed fine to me.. but who knows!

    Gerald Ford's real name was Leslie and John Wayne was born Marion. So it wouldn't matter. But no, that's not his name, though I assume you call him worse.

    The Far right wing nuts attack Obama and says he isn't an American.

    You got to love the nuts. I'm sure the FBI and the CIA has clear Obama and who he is. LOL So lets the FBI and the CIA clear you.

    To answer your question I'm sure that Obama name is real.
