Chicago Sun-Times columnist Sneed: Call him "Obambi"

From Michael Sneed's column in today's Chicago Sun-Times:

Shall we ascribe a new surname to our soaring political rock star due to innocence and naivete?

For the moment, let us call him U.S. Sen. Barack Obambi -- a name harkening back to the story of the innocent but naive little fawn trapped in a cruel world after his mother was stalked and killed by hunters.

• • To wit: Obamarama is pleading innocent-but-naive to the 2005 land purchase from political fund-raiser Tony Rezko, who was recently indicted by the feds on corruption charges.

• • Translation: "I consider this a mistake on my part, and I regret it," stated Obama, who then apologized for misgauging "the appearance presented by my purchase of the additional land from Mr. Rezko."
