Barack "peaches" Obama

One of the first words I learned in Hungarian was “barack” (pronounced bara-tsk) meaning Peach, and apricot too.  The Hungarians are apparently fascinated by Barack Obama as a result of the connection of his name to the Hungarian language – even though to my knowledge there is no actual connection.  I wore my “Obama for your mama” shirt the other day, and several people pointed and said “Bara-tsk” and pointed.  I learned today that the country of Hungary actually sent 100 kilos of Peach (barack) jam to the Democrat- so if you have heard of the fate of this Peach jam, please let me know.
