What does website using president's childhood moniker mean?

Punch in barrysoetoro.com on your computer Internet browser and what do you see? Well, here's a hint: It's remarkably similar to WhiteHouse.gov.

But no, it's not any admission by the president that he really is a citizen of Indonesia or that he's a foreign national or anything like that: It's just a web domain owner providing a redirect from his domain name, barrysoetoro.com, to President Obama's official residency.

According to an Internet "WhoIs" search, the barrysoetoro.com web name is scheduled to expire on tax day, April 15, but currently is owned by Tharwat.com, run by Tharwat Abdul-Malik, who has a St. Petersburg, Fla., address.

Contacted by WND, he said he bought that domain name and several others relating to Barack Obama (amabokcarab, or Barack Obama spelled backwards, for example) a year ago.

For awhile he redirected to Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign, figuring that people searching for the name Obama used as a child when his mother married an Indonesian and the family lived in Indonesia should end up reading about McCain's campaign.
