If Obama really is capable of raising $100 million in June alone…why hasn’t their campaign bought Obama.com? Even if the owner of the domain demanded $1 million for the domain, wouldn’t it be worth it? Thus far it seems Obama has not been branded as “Barack Obama” but as just “Obama”. Plus, ask a bunch of Americans if they know how to spell “Barack”. It’s an uncommon first name and not exactly easy to spell or remember how to spell. I would bet most Americans are not sure, and in an Internet age of politics being able to quickly navigate to the proper campaign website seems very important. “Obama”, on the other hand is much easier to spell and remember. Anyone out there have any thoughts on this?

I went to Obama.com and was curious if I could find an easy translation. I typed “translate obama” into Google and got some very interesting blog posts, news articles and the like. Another search with “translate obama into Japanese” turned up this article:

And for the record, I use that article just to point out there is an Obama, Japan, not to support the silly and inane messages following in the comments thread.

WOW. I think Mr. Obama should take a pilgrimage to Obama.
