I like to think of Barack Obama as many do, as simply B.O. as in Lifebuoy or as Hillary’s big problem, but really like being sure Hussain is in there somewhere. Perhaps BHO is not quite right, but if it were Hussain Barack Obama, then it would be HBO and he would have a broader audience.
Well said!
It was just fine for the ‘Rats when Jim Webb’s campaign made such mocking uses of George Allen’s middle name......... but let anyone use Obama Hussein’s middle name and some people go into meltdown. The REASON that it is relevant to remind people of Obama’s actual name is BECAUSE he is an eager de facto ally of the Saddam Husseins and Osama Bin Laden’s of the world. He is NOT someone a majority of Americans could ever vote for if they actually knew his real views, which are being artfully concealed from the public in a gaseous propaganda campaign.
Right now Obama is still doing all he can to undermine and destroy the success of our mission in Iraq, even as our troops are achieving successes that seemed unreachable (to many) a couple of years ago. He is also firmly comitted to weakening our efforts in the War on Terror, to strengthening the power and influence of our worst enemies such as Iran, Syria, North Korea, etc. and generally to seeking a posture of retreat and defeat for the USA. Saddam Hussein would be most pleased......
I don’t necessarily think he retains Muslim affiliations because of his family background (he does seem much more devoted to his crackpot racist supposedly Christian pastor).... I think he’s coming out of the hard-core anti-American left ala Saul Alinsky, Lynne Stewart and his Weatherman pals Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn (in whose home he launched his first campaign for the Illinois State Senate). But when I use his full name it’s to remind people that he is NOT an honest defender of America’s strength and promise and success in the world — he is the kind of squishy leftist (now masquerading as a supposed centrist) who in the past has been overtly “pro-Palestinian” (just ask Ralph Nader) and far far far too sympathetic to America’s worst enemies, though now he tries to mask his radical beliefs. He would be the most far-left ‘major’ American presidential nominee ever, no matter what he pretends now about his vaporous hopes for ‘change’ and ‘unity’ devoid of any actual political and moral content.
Thankfully, 527s have no such limitations. We will be using this name often.
And George Bush became George Herbert Walker Bush.
It’s wrong to ask Obama about his religion even though Romney’s religion was the subject of many “would you ever vote for a Mormon” polls.
Exactly.
But the rules against renaming a candidate only applies to Democrats.
