You missed the sarcasm in the post. Since he didn’t want his middle name used during the election, but then used it for taking the oath, it’ a way of now emphasizing his “Moslem” roots.

There’s a difference between using your full given name while taking an oath, and having political opponents emphasize (”Barack HUSSEIN Obama”) your middle name as a slur. Unless you heard people on the campaign trail regularly refer to “John SYDNEY McCain” and “Sarah LOUISE Palin” from the stage, then there was a slur intended in the exaggerated use of his middle name. Intent matters. Using your own full name in an oath is different.
