People are digging hard to know as much as they can about Sarah Palin’s high school and college years. Trend Hunters also need to know about Barry O’Bomber!
It’s hard to imagine that McCain bloggers haven’t picked up on Barack Obama’s nickname in high school: Barry O’Bomber. This nickname raises two key questions: Barry? Does anybody still call him that in private moments? And second, O’Bomber? Shades of terrorism--or, shades of a hawkish stance that is staked out by McCain. His two buddies and Barry were basketball-obsessed and played with the ‘rat-ballers.’
