Don't you think that it is time for the spell checker to stop saying that "Obama" is a misspelling?

C'mon guys, he's gonna be the Prez in a couple of weeks!

Update:

Yo! Except for names such as Tecumseh and Pocahontas, all our names originated somewhere else. "E Pluribus Unum." We are a nation of nations, that is why we are a great nation.

    Spell check can't be changed to include every spelling of every possible name. You can spell Carrie, Carey, Cari, Keri, Kerry, Carie, Carry, Karry, etc. And that's just one popular name. Spell check sometimes takes a bit to catch up with the world. Gonna wasn't considered spelled correctly for years.

    I was going to agree with you, but when I typed in Obama's name I noticed the spell check didn't pop up. Maybe someone saw your question and fixed it.
