Obama Supporters Take His Middle Name as Their Own
New York Times ^ | June 29, 2008 | JODI KANTOR

Posted on 06/28/2008 7:39:37 PM PDT by kingattax

Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student from Fort Thomas, Ky., gave herself a new middle name on Facebook.com, mimicking her boyfriend and shocking her father.

“Emily Hussein Nordling,” her entry now reads.

With her decision, she joined a growing band of supporters of Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who are expressing solidarity with him by informally adopting his middle name.

The result is a group of unlikely-sounding Husseins: Jewish and Catholic, Hispanic and Asian and Italian-American, from Jaime Hussein Alvarez of Washington, D.C., to Kelly Hussein Crowley of Norman, Okla., to Sarah Beth Hussein Frumkin of Chicago.

Jeff Strabone of Brooklyn now signs credit card receipts with his newly assumed middle name, while Dan O’Maley of Washington, D.C., jiggered his e-mail account so his name would appear as “D. Hussein O’Maley.” Alex Enderle made the switch online along with several other Obama volunteers from Columbus, Ohio, and now friends greet him that way in person, too.

At least in the FLDS cult you get to marry as many teenage girls as you can handle. What could you possibly be the draw for the hussein cult?

A more apropoe question would be how many Muslim children were named after Usama bin Laden after 9/11/01?

Mighty slick until these college kids (supposedly) better understand how socialist, one party systems work and their freedoms diminish. Dumb as dirt.

the socialist, marxist, diminished freedoms scenario is the best scenario w/BHO as president. the worst? no more united states of america...period.

I thought Odumbo didn’t want anyone using his middle name. Or, was it McCain who didn’t want anyone using Odumbo’s middle name?

no, don’t blame it on JSM - it was the RNC who issued that edict, wimping out again.

Numerous Freepers have posted the chart of the popularity of the name Hillary! for new babies, and the decline of its popularity as the Klintoons’ reign wore on. There is nothing new under the sun.

Just more proof that Husein supporters are one brick shy of a load.

The serious problem is their vast number - those MANY mindless millions who’ve drunk the koolaid.

Shocking her father?

If it was my Dad, he’d of cut off my money for college, as well as my internet account, then told me “Hussein” could pay for it.

If you contrast these pampered idiots with the ones their ages in Afghanistan and Iraq right now, you’d have to just scratch your head and ask what their parents’ have contributed to their educations (or lack of one).

Many, and continue to be. btw, thank you SO much for all the sacrifices you and your child are making for keeping our country safe. (It’s working, and that’s why you don’t hearing anything on the “news” lately.) We appreciate it very much!!!!

Nothing to worry about, until you stop to realize that these are the people we’re going to have to trust with the world soon.
