Why do people spell Obama with a zero (0bama)?

I've seen it a lot on here. Just curious, is it a play on something?

    it is play, being informal, ect, like calling Bush dubya, this goes on for all presidents, the zero for Obama is just what y/a has decided to use.

    they're attempting to enhance him the same courtesy and admire that the leftist/Democrat/media cabal prolonged to President Bush for 8 years. different than Bammy is barely going to have 4.

    It's been going on since the primaries last year. The first time I saw, I thought it was a simple, clever statement of disapproval. Now, I know just how smart those people were. Obama is a zero.

    Far more clever than those McBush idiots.

    Well I saw a lot of people adding "Nobama" as their middle name on facebook after he won the election. I wonder if "0bama" is like 13375p43k for "Nobama"

    It makes a Conservative feel clever, while the rest of the world tries to figure out what they are talking about.

    Probably because it uses one less keystroke than NObama.

    I can't stand the guy, politically speaking, but think the '0' is a bit lame.

    Source(s): Just my opinion

    They think they're all clever. Really, they just look like idiots to the rest of us. I thought that people who spelled Bush "Bu$h," were idiots too.

    It saves time. It shows that you don't hve to read the question because it will only be a Republican rant.

    Its a tribute to their home-schooling education... can't spell, don't have the creativity to be funny, etc.

    Just our way of reminding folks the sum total of his executive experience prior to his becoming president.
