Poll: Regarding the use of the President's Initials "BHO", where do you see it applied the most?

I'm just curious where other DUer's have seen it used the most. I have always seen it associated with Right Wing websites/article.

What I find curious is those same articles/websites within the same write-up will name "Romney" but will say "BHO" when referring to Obama. It can't be for abbreviation purposes because Romney has 6 letters and Obama has 5. It's rather puzzling. If you've seen the use of both of their names that way within the same article, do you give it a second thought?

The is just a poll to satisfy my curious mind

As well as HRC for Hillary Clinton, and GWB for Bush Mark II.

I had no idea is was considered a RW usage. I do, however, think "BO" is definitely RW.

I don't think it means much. Some acronyms just work better than others. Barak Hussein Obama shortens nicely to "BHO". Mitt Poodle Rmoney shortens to "MPR", not so nice
