How can Obama be on the Florida ballot if he doesn't use his adopted name?
Barack Obama is the actual name of President Obama. It is not an adopted name, it is the name that was bestowed upon him by his mother, in Hawaii. It should be noted that there are various internet myths which claim his name is actually Barry Soetoro, but this is not accurate. Mr. Obama never changed his name, nor did Lolo Soetoro, his step-dad, ever legally adopt him. Mr. Obama's name is the same now as when he was born-- and he has never changed it.

There is no such person as Michael Obama. This is, sad to say, a bad joke that can be found on several anti-Obama websites and in some disreputable tabloids. Michelle Obama, the wife of the president, is in fact a woman; she was never named Michael, and there is no evidence that she plans to change her gender or her name.
What was President Obama's name when his mother was married to Lolo Soetoro?

Totally false, with no credible facts to support it. As numerous fact-checkers have noted, while Barack Obama got along well with his step-father, he was never adopted and did not change his name at any time.

When did Barack Obama legally change his name from Barry Soetoro to Barack Obama?
Never. This is an old, and frequently debunked, internet myth, put forward by the Birthers, a group who refuse to accept that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii and is a U.S. citizen. While he did live for four years in Indonesia, there is no credible evidence that his step-father ever adopted him. Most reliable sources, including relatives and long-time friends, have said repeatedly that he was always Barack Obama and never changed his name to anything else.
Is Barack Obama Berry Soetoro?
No, and he never has been. That is another of those internet myths. President Obama's mom did remarry and his stepfather was Lolo Soetoro.
