Chicago Tribune ^ | 8:48 PM CST, December 9, 2008 | By Christi Parsons, John McCormick and Peter Nicholas |

Barack Obama says his presidency is an opportunity for the U.S. to renovate its relations with the Muslim world, starting the day of his inauguration and continuing with a speech he plans to deliver in an Islamic capital.

And when he takes the oath of office Jan. 20, he plans to be sworn in like every other president, using his full name: Barack Hussein Obama.

"I think we've got a unique opportunity to reboot America's image around the world and also in the Muslim world in particular,'' Obama said Tuesday, promising an "unrelenting" desire to "create a relationship of mutual respect and partnership in countries and with peoples of good will who want their citizens and ours to prosper together."

So NOW it’s OK to say his middle name! If you dared utter it during the campaign, you were called Islamophobic. But now we can yell it proudly from the rooftops...

Well, isn’t that nice. Guess now that the campaign is over we are allowed to call him by his full name.

Show us your birth certificate, Barack Hussein Obama!

Shades of Carter. He's already had an incident with Poles, though.

Postmodernism teaches "close reading". I'm like Taliban, "You taught me your language, and my profit on't is I know how to read closely." Note the "also", which is ameliorated by "in particular". Where is this "Muslim world" ?

and how do we know BARAK HUSSSEIN OBAMA is his full name, as he has refused to show his birth certificate. he also was adopted, did the adopted father not want to name him????
did he go to court and get his birth name returned? was even his birth parents married? there is no proof of that nor of a divorce...
just a few of the minor things he won’t share with the American People...

LOL! For “Taliban” I meant to say, “Caliban” from Shakespeare’s, THE TEMPEST. As long as I’ve made a mess of it, the actual quote is, “You taught me language; and my profit on’t is, I know how to curse.”

Seems he's admitting that "the world" and "the Muslim world" are distinct, i.e. the children of Allah live on another planet.

Well spotted!

lets just hope his term ends up more like the Waterworld and Postman Costner than the No Way Out/Field of Dreams/Bull Durham Costner
