"Should had named my dog "Palin..?"

Two years ago almost to this date I adopted a four legged friend, a miniature greyhound terrier mix, with white paws, a white chest and a black body, I named her 'Obama'

My dog's name name has affected many of my friendship's and acquaintances. I am no longer invited to potlucks or many social gatherings I once attended since I happen to like President Obama and named my dog 'Obama.'

Many of my friends actually believe President Obama is a closet Muslim and was not born in the United states. I tell them Hawai'i  where he was born is a state, the 50Th state and that President Obama attended the same Christian church for fifteen years prior to being elected?

I believe that the people who actually believe he is not a US citizen, and a closet Muslim are actually closet racists themselves, although they would never admit to it.

OK, I named my dog Obama, therefore everyone always ask me what Obama the president intends to do with this or that. I am not the presidents chief of staff just because I named my dog 'Obama.' I guess it's somewhat of a compliment that people believe I am the presidents chief of staff, but just as much an insult to humanity that they challenge his birthplace or religion.

I have one friend who can't even call my dog by her name, therefore she has taken on the moniker of 'Bommers.'

Imagine your dogs name changing your entire social life, imagine people still being racists.

 I wonder  what might had been if I had named my dog "Palin?"
