You know, it just occurred to me that every time the McCain campaign officially disavows the use of Obama’s middle name, it reminds us all that Obama’s middle name is, in fact, “Hussein,” and keeps that issue in the press.

Exactly!

I honestly don't understand why people are getting so worked up about this when we have the Ayers and ACORN issues getting hot.

Maybe some people just like to get worked up. ;-)

Maybe they do. Maybe McCain should, too, rather than placating the left’s cries not to use the name Hussein. It might actually help. We agree, it’s just a name. No reason for anyone to get worked up over it if someone chooses to use it.
