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.

Anybody seen Dr. Mengele?

It just so happens we watched “Boys from Brazil” tonight, and Mengele was killed by the dobermans, again.

Unbelievable, clueless freakin’ idiots. Aren’t they just the neatest, most forward-thinking people you ever did see? That’s what they think the reaction will be...instead of clueless stupid dumbfu**s.

Hopium.

It was a reference to a song done by the 70's rock band "The Tubes"..."White Punks On Dope."

"Some said they were inspired by movies, including ... “In and Out,” a 1997 comedy about a gay high school teacher whose students protest his firing by proclaiming that they are all gay as well.



Oh, I have no doubt. There are at the very least two flamers in that group--perhaps a third.

I was once young and foolish too! However,
I didn’t have my picture plastered on the internet.

Imagine the people who named their little darling Britney and then discovered that Britney was insane trash, for starters.

There’s a reason buildings are not usually named after living people. Parents would do well to ponder that fact.

Thank you for your kind words. At the present time my son is on his way to Georgia (via a visit to his in-laws in Florida) where he will be changing his duty assignment to a training unit. He’ll be training new soldiers at the training facility in Georgia. This unit is non-deployable and he’ll spend the next several years there.

This may be the most pathetic, feckless, and fatuous development yet in the ongoing, but soon, soon to end
saga of the very overconfident young man known as Obama.

The dobermans weren't all named Hussein were they?

LOL! The name readily identifies them as traitors and unimaginative, backward-thinking stooges, just like their namesake. You may even create an official seal for them to display at their desk.

There. Now they all look the same, too.

"Yo,Hussein."

I really don't like my generation at all.

The people in this image couldn't be more worthless looking if they tried to be.
