Obama thinks his middle name is offensive

Published on March 8, 2008 By CharlesCS In Politics

Now how can anyone vote for a guy who won't even use his own middle name as part of his campaign to run for President of the US? Some people think others are making too much of this middle name thing, but I think it's important. Why are you ashamed of you middle name Barack? Is it because it's a Muslim name? Is it because you are running at a time when Americans and Muslins are not seeing eye to eye at the moment? is it because you think Islamic extremist around the world will use you as a weapon against the Western infidels? That could be it, isn't it?

According to an article on Foxnews.com Barack is asking McCain to denounce comments made by Iowa Rep. Steve King, a McCain supporter. And what were his comments you might say?

"They'll be dancing in the streets because of his middle name, they'll be dancing in the streets because of who his father was."

It seems King believes that due to Obama's promise to leave Iraq, his Kenyan heritage and (of course) his middle name Hussein, that Obama will give Islamic extremist a victory over the US. Now while this may be wrong in any sense, it may actually be a possibility whether we may want to accept it or not. Had Obama had a direct connection to a country like Iraq, Iran or Saudi Arabia, he wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting this far.

As I said some here think there is no big deal about Obama's middle name. But I want you to tell me why does Obama believe it is? Why does he believe his middle name is offensive when his spokesman, Tommy Vietor said :

“These comments have no place in our politics, and we hope Senator McCain will repudiate them like he has previous offensive comments from his supporters,”

So saying his middle name is offensive? Shame on you Barack for believing the American people are not capable of looking past a middle name just because it happens to be the same as the name as a mad man like Saddam Hussein and a name widely used by Muslims who just happen to be at odds with us. Shame on you for being dishonest and hiding your middle name from the people who you are looking to entrust their lives on you.

Barack Hussein Obama, this ones for you:

If you want to get technical I believe his first name "Barack" is Muslim too (I could be wrong). I think the people (at least on the left) have decided that his name is a non issue. I don't put too much stock in it myself. The thing that creeps me out a bit is that Obama sounds a little too much like Osama and it puts me off. There is something to be said if the USA’s enemies could vote in the election, who would they vote for? Why?

What voters should consider is that since his father was Kenyan and he still has a lot of family there how will that affect his judgment? Will Kenya get special treatment? If elected Obama may be the first president (as far as I know) whose father was not a US citizen/national. Will he try to grease the wheels for the folks back home? I don't hear much about the American half of his family. Do they support him? He seems to identify with his father’s side more, if the media can be believed (I haven't read his books...and don't see myself doing so).

The voters need to take a hard look at all the candidates. That is what truly frightens me, the voter that votes on a whim or emotionally. Of course any concerns are automatically labeled “the politics of fear”. We’ll see if there is any buyer’s remorse next year.

With a direct affect to my wallet, now more than ever....I am frightened, well past concerned. To think some star-struck 18 year old that may not have even paid a dime in taxes yet could be the decisive voter this year sends shivers. I am glad everyone gets a vote in the US, I just hope it is based on facts and not some golly gee whiz popularity contest cause my guy is hip or because we should try a woman for once. Too many will vote on that basis alone. Then there will be no re-do's like FL and MI...we're stuck.

That's exactly how it will happen. This election is being decided by several factors, one of which is the media which will do everything they can to help Obama. I mean, they aren't even trying to hide their obvious support of him.

Even Obama supporters can't tell you his accomplishments or what he is really going to do to "change" your life.
