Obama Supporters Take His Name as Their Own

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.
Mr. Obama is a Christian, not a Muslim. Hussein is a family name inherited from a Kenyan father he barely knew, who was born a Muslim and died an atheist. But the name has become a political liability. Some critics on cable television talk shows dwell on it, while others, on blogs or in e-mail messages, use it to falsely assert that Mr. Obama is a Muslim or, more fantastically, a terrorist.
“I am sick of Republicans pronouncing Barack Obama’s name like it was some sort of cuss word,” Mr. Strabone wrote in a manifesto titled “We Are All Hussein” that he posted on his own blog and on dailykos.com.

21st century equivalent to comrade...but much more indicative of a serious personality disorder.
Electoral loser.
Somebody should tell her to "grow up" but I think that would be a futile effort?
Yes but do they each have their very own Monkey God lucky charm?
Further evidence that the moonbats want a savior, not a president. Just as long as he’s one who makes no demands on them other than “be yourself” and “yes we can”...
Brainwashed college trolls who have never worked a day in their entire life. They will sooner or later regret this move as a major mistake... kind of like a tatoo of an ex or a fat chick they had no business being with.
They probably used to go by the name Che (the girls probably perferred Ho) until Obama came along.
The Husseiniacs.
These wackos remind me of the Jim Jones cult just before they were forced to drink the Kool Aid (at gunpoint). This is even sicker than I could have imagined though insanely reminiscent of Hitler’s lunatic followers. We all know where that led!
Let’s drop them in the middle of Iran and see what they think about meeting a true Muslim. However, looking at the picture I cannot help but wonder why did they put the fat girl and boy in the back? MSM is elitist as always, fat kids don’t do justice to Obama’s cool image!
Gee, I wish I could be cool like them.
Don’t think we really have to worry about them showing up at the polls.
We’ve seen all that stuff, of course, but that was well put together.
Who are the “Five Little Gullible Idiots”, Alex? One with a really bad henna rinse. :)
