Anybody think he will use his real name ... Barry Hussein Soetoro?

Barack Obama today confirmed that he will take the presidential oath of office using his middle name, Hussein, a choice depicted as routine but likely to be viewed as an olive branch by majority-Muslim nations.
Obama's oath-taking plan comes after a campaign season that saw his full name used in a pejorative capacity by several allies of his rival, John McCain. The president-elect described taking the oath with his full name as a run-of-the-mill decision not intended to be significant.
"I think the tradition is that they use all three names" to swear in new presidents, Obama told the Los Angeles Times, "and I will follow the tradition, not trying to make a statement one way or the other. I'll do what everybody else does."
Yet several recent American presidents, including Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, omitted their middle name when taking the oath.
The past controversy roused by Republicans over his middle name lent a confident undertone to Obama's choice, as did his renewed vow to deliver a speech in a majority-Muslim nation. Speculation has centred on Indonesia, where Obama spent four years of his childhood, as the likely site of his future visit.
"How we structure that is something that I will determine with my national security team in the coming weeks and months," Obama told the Times. "But I think we've got a unique opportunity to reboot America's image around the world and also in the Muslim world in particular."

Anybody think he will use his real name ... Barry Hussein Soetoro?
what sort of out of touch person would write that because he used his full name, its considered an olive branch to the muslim world
Obama will take the oath of office using his middle finger!
Hahaha! You beat me to it! I’ll be pointing my middle finger to the television if I happen to catch a glimpse of Zero.
The Jihadis will be pleased.
Will he end the oath with the traditional “so help me God”?
I hope Freepers will resist the temptation to respond to his oath taking with that particular salute. Better to resist in a manner that is effective than in a manner that is only emotionally appealing. We do need to flood the Senate and the Congress with objections to any anti-American, unconstitutional, or otherwise inappropriate proposals from the next president ... but in a dignified manner rather than with one finger extended.
Gasp! The middle name which may not be mentioned?
It and soooooo much more.
Who are you calling idiots? It was the RATS who forbade us to use the chosen one’s middle name.
I will be using my middle finger.
When Bill Cunningham used it he was called a racist.
Any and all idiots who make any kind of big deal whatsoever about the man’s f^cking middle name.
I’ve had enough of it.
This article was just trying to stir up trouble. But I’ve seen hundreds like it right here on FR.
Enough already. It’s his name. Get over it.
To ALL about the name issue JSTFU
He will rephrase that one: "so help me الله"
[الله="Allah"]
Well, Bambi himself didn’t want it used during his campaign, so I suggest you chat with The One himself about this. Oh - and take your own advice, sweetie.
go take a midol...
...and most Americans will find out for the first time we’ve elected a man with a Muslim namesake.
Bad Day at the office?
FREEDOM of choice to post it and FREEDOM of choice NOT read it. After all, this is FREERepublic!
No he didn’t. And he made sure everyone knew about his background and his father and himself having HIS FATHER’s name. He is proud of it. It was given to him at birth and he was never ashamed of it.
Let’s leave the name thing alone finally, once and for all shall we? It’s been beaten to death from all sides and its just an unbelievabley stupid and childish way to attack him (or pretend that others are attacking hims based on his name).
Yes the Dems were guilty of that. But so was our side
I’m sick of it and no, I won’t be quiet about it.
Who knows what’s real with Barry?
I’m just praying that either the birth certificate or the criminal corruption issue will knock him out and he doesn’t get to the swearing in. God help us all.
So is your name Hussein? If you’ve had enough of it, maybe you’re the one who should STFU. It was the RATS and RINOS who didn’t want barry’s name spoken.
They knew.
And IF you’re one of the ones who wanted to use his middle name to beat him, then you’re one of the ones I’m talking about. In fact, that very tactic may have backfired.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
If they’re just finding out on that day, they’re idiots.
No it wasn’t. It was BOTH sides making a big deal out of his middle name.
I agree with that!
That was before he was “elected”.
Actually Barry Soetoro Changed his name as a young man didn’t he?
Kinda like Nation of Islam members do when they join.....
Wait am I being racist?
How clever. I’ll remember that.
No, but you’re being catty.
Ok thats nicer than racist
He still changed his name though.
He chose his name or his religion gave it to him and he chose his religion.
His middle name....”Bastard”...oh, no it’s “Hussein” now that is SOOOOO comforting.
How did the Sheeple elect a Hussein to this office, only a few short years after 9-11-01?
Half our population is so stupid, they should not be allowed to vote.
If he does say the oath correctly would he not be lying according to his own admitted “Muslim” beliefs?
THIS is why the position of the President of the United States MUST be a NATURAL BORN citizen, not somebody that was raised in another country, fathered by a British subject and bound to a religion that goes against the Constitution.
Oath=Lying
His father may have given him that name, but then he took a powder. He was actually reared by Frank Marshall Davis..
“He was actually reared by Frank Marshall Davis”.
Probably literally.
May Al La be so merciful as to spare this socialist crook muslim from Kenya the same fate or worse.
The mohammedan horde knows one thing for sure.
The majority of Americans are stupid.
