Middle name Hussein is only one reason terror thugs like Barack Obama

Middle name Hussein is only one reason terror thugs like Barack Obama

Friday, May 16th 2008, 4:00 AM

Barack Hussein Obama wants it both ways.

Any American who uses his full name is trying to scare voters, his wife charges. But Obama says he understands why Islamic terror group Hamas looks at his middle name and trusts him.

Ditto for his plan to meet with Iran's madman president and other rogue leaders. Obama sees his open-door policy as evidence he will end President Bush's "cowboy diplomacy." When Bush slammed that plan Thursday as "appeasement," Obama accused him of a "false political attack."

It's a legitimate attack, because Obama's kumbaya foreign policy is dangerous. And his name, including the Hussein part, is fair game because Obama has declared it an international advantage.

He can want it both ways, but he can't have it.

The trouble started when Hamas adviser Ahmed Yousef said, "We like Mr. Obama" and added, "we hope he wins the election."

That's an endorsement, plain and simple. When John McCain jumped in, promising to be Hamas' "worst enemy," Obama got huffy and accused McCain of "divisive fear-mongering."

That's par for the Obama course. Michelle Obama once said anyone using her husband's full name is throwing the "ultimate fear bomb. When all else fails, be afraid of his name."

Maybe we should be afraid. Consider what Obama says in an interview in the current Atlantic magazine.

Asked by writer Jeffrey Goldberg if he was "flummoxed" by the Hamas support, Obama responds no and says: "It's conceivable that there are those in the Arab world who say to themselves, 'This is a guy who spent some time in the Muslim world, has a middle name of Hussein and appears more worldly and has called for talks with people, and so he's not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush,' and that's something they're hopeful about."

He adds: "That's a perfectly legitimate perception as long as they're not confused about my unyielding support for Israel's security."

In fact, there is confusion. Some of it goes to his long relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose church magazine printed anti-Israel views. There is no evidence Obama objected.

The Atlantic interview adds to the confusion. While Obama stresses the importance of Israel to Jews, he also seems to parrot liberal nonsense that blames the entire Mideast conflict on Israeli settlements.

He even links Israeli parents' concern for their children's safety to settlements, posing the question: "Is settlement policy conducive to relieving that over the long term, or is it just making the situation worse?"

WRONG QUESTION. The right one is why should Israel or anyone else meet with Hamas, which won't recognize Israel's right to exist and fires rockets into civilian areas? Hamas' vow to destroy Israel has nothing to do with settlements or borders.

One question has been answered, though. Now we know why Hamas prefers Barack Hussein Obama. He's told us himself.

Barack: This is only the beginning of a real ugly and painful campaign for you. Just warning you that presidential politics ain’t for the weak. Neither is American foreign policy.

Senator Obama, have you ever in your life bowed to Mecca and prayed? Campaign question— the American people want to know.

I think I read somewhere that the name “Hussein” is a name that can only be used by Muslims.

Considering his fawning deification in the eyes of the driveby media, I sincerely hope that it will indeed be an ugly and painful campaign, but there are times when I have my doubts.

I try to console myself by remembering Reagan's landslide against Carter, but McCain is no Ronald Reagan.....

An electorate that will send a serial rapist to the White House TWICE and even consider Socialist idiots like algore and Kerry is an electorate that doesn't help me to sleep well at night.

I wonder how many fawning, empty-headed Obama supporters will be naming their newborns "Hussein" this year without knowing that?

You just can't make this stuff up......

As long as Republicans in Congress continue to “appease” the Democrats, I fear we’re in for a long, long period of increasing government spending on social programs, tax hikes, Carter-esque foreign policy, and socialism invading every institution it can creep into. Heaven help us.

Obama: "I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems, ....I will not weaponize space... I will slow development of future combat systems... I will institute a 'Defense Priorities Board' to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used ..."

Then, there will be peace in our time without the evil republicans causing war!

My change is good for Muslims, Islamofascists, Black Racists, and Chrislims. $crew the Christians and real Jews!

If Obama thinks that his middle name will be an asset in the Middle East, it is only because he is a muslim himself. If he is anything else, then there are about a billion Muslims out there with a religious obligation to kill him for turning away from Islam. Why would Muslim leaders sit down and talk to someone that Mohammed ordered be put to death? They can’t do it, and Obama is a bigger idiot than anyone ever imagined if he thinks that he can talk with these people.

Hmm. Fascinating that this leftist yellow rag is willing to say this about Obama. Yes, it’s true, but they aren’t supposed to say it. It hits him where it really hurts.

Are they still hoping that hillary will win? Or are they genuinely worried about an Obama presidency?

Maybe the former, although they have taken a few shots at hillary, too, during the campaign.

The Daily News formally endorsed Hillary some months ago, as I recall, so they are delighted to print anything negative about Hussein-Obama that they can find....which is fine with me  :-)

They have to at least make an attempt at maintaining a facade of objectivity, regardless of it's transparency.

They are counting on people's short memories and emotionalism.

Doesn’t Hussein translate to “destroyer”?

They're not just endorsing him, they're actively campaigning for him.
