Beam is pandering to the uneducated lib cool aid drinkers who he thinks will swoon over his column despite the not all that subtle spinning of facts.
He suggests that Obama has a name from Aramaic which is very interesting since Aram where the "ancient language of Aramaic" came from, is the country of Syria. Now maybe the subtlely of this was lost on you unless you remembered that the capital of Aram was Aleppo which is where Tony Rezko is from. Is Beam suggesting that Obama speaks Tony's language?
Beam also makes a big deal over Barack's name intimating that it is really a Christian name and not a Muslim name. Actually Beam has two hidden agenda's here, one to obfuscate that his name is Muslim and not ethnic and two that it is Christian. Unfortunately Beam is either truly ignorant or else prevaricating. Muslims recognize Jesus as a prophet so revering him by naming someone is not a big deal.
Beam continues to try deflect the self-created chaos of Barack by making light of his spiritual guides so one does not wonder why Barack had such confidence in losers.
