Was it Rove’s idea to call Bush by his middle initial? I think I even have a W hat. Fair is fair.

Personal religious convictions again bubbled to the surface of the presidential campaign with a supporter of Hillary Clinton referring to the Islamic faith of Barack Obama’s father and ...
The former senator Bob Kerrey, a notoriously outspoken politician and failed presidential candidate in 1992, stirred the pot when he endorsed Mrs Clinton and then proceeded to compliment Mr Obama for his understanding of Islam.
I like the fact that his name is Barack Hussein Obama, and that his father was a Muslim and that his paternal grandmother is a Muslim, Mr Kerrey said. There’s a billion people on the planet that are Muslims, and I think that experience is a big deal.

Seems to me I recal “Prescott” being alluded to by Dems to show the blue blood lines of the Bush’s.
Listen, this is no bid deal, it’s just red meat stuff, playful stuff. The serious part is that you can’t allow the media to dictate the rule of the game...because they will.

Bush went by his middle initial:

The left played with it all the time by calling him Dubya. They probably still do.

Don't disrespect one of the great law-enforcement men to ever grace this great nation by comparing him to that scrawny communist B.

it could work...
just use initials for the uniforms
Imagine the sea of PRC's on the field
& get bigger signs,
if not-
change their names
I'm sure they pay someone the big bucks
to help them with these things...

If it doesn't matter then it shouldn't matter if we have a little fun with it.Go on and have fun with it. I am not saying you shouldn't be allowed. My point of view is that it doesn't hurt Obama, and it likely helps him. The lefties have always had their juvenile double entendre with "Bush". Tee-hee, that means pubic hair!
Nobody has ever lost an election because of their middle name. Emphasizing something as meaningless as a middle name simply splashes mud on the rationality of any argument that follows.

He may not be the best policy advisorTheres the understatement of the year. The fact that that dolt Bush relied on him heavily for policy prescriptions is why we're in the economic and political mess that we are.

The boy’s name Hussein \hu(s)-sein\ is pronounced hoo-SAYN. It is of Arabic origin, and its meaning is “good; small handsome one”. The name of a prominent person in Shiite Islam and a royal name in Jordan.
Shiite Islam

Some folks on this site are acting like the Inquisitors in Spain and Portugal..and some folks on this site are acting like Thought Police; we have an opponent, at least most of us do, who, while sounding "positive", is actually the most negative campaigner we've ever had. How so? By saying that the greatest country ever known to man will not be any good until HE gets behind the wheel. He talks of "change", which is nothing more than a truism in that all elections where the incumbent isn't running are about change. The difference is that he is advocating, not merely a midcourse-correction or a mild tweaking, but a full-blown U-turn into an alleyway that looks suspiciously like Euro-socialistic multiculturalism. I call negative on him because nowhere, never, does he extol the virtues of this country. His wife's misstep was no aberration; it reflected a deep-seated discontent with this country. We cannot have someone like that slip by into the oval office simply because people were worried about offending these bastards.
Now, caution is well-advised; but all angles of tactical and strategic attack on him must be explored. When we hit on a few good ones, let's press them; but let's don't reject tactics out of hand simply because they seem politically incorrect.
My personal favorite tack at the present time would be to praise the greatest country and people in the world while contrasting it with his negative assessment of it. I don't think the people in this country much appreciate the warped amusement-park mirror he's been holding us up to.

Michael Savage, who once asked whether Obama was a "so-called friendly Muslim" or one more "radical."Well, let's see here
- Wants to stop the war on terror (radical)
- Wants to end wiretapping program (radical)
- Wants to downsize the military (radical)
- Open borders and amnesty (radical)
- Wants to raise taxes and kill off capitalism (radical)
- Wants to eliminate Bush tax cuts (radical)

the Moveon/ Soros/ MSM alliance is going to blowtorch McPain with cheap shots. Unilateral disarmament does not work. McPain will have to find out the hard way AGAIN.

If Obama doesn’t like his middle name, and is offended when it is used, he should take it up with his mama. She named him.

Would somebody have asked, "Don't 'Fitzgerald' Kennedy?" when he was running as (or not wanting to be seen as) the first Roman Catholic president?
