Barrack uses his full name. He used it in his comments on the Ferraro incident. The press also infrequently uses it. But that is not the problem.
The few times it has been a problem, it has been from the way in which it has been used. I am sure you can think of instances where an otherwise innocent word has been used as an insult in hate speech.
It's not in the usage but the tone. I am sure that Obama's mother uses his full name with love and respect. That asshole radio talk show host, the one McCain pretended to be mad at in Ohio, did not.
