During the interview Wednesday, when confronted with the anxiety that some Israelis feel toward him, Obama said that "some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion."

"Ironically, I've got a Chief of Staff named Rahm Israel Emmanuel. My top political advisor is somebody who is a descendent of Holocaust survivors. My closeness to the Jewish American community was probably what propelled me to the U.S. Senate," Obama said.

His middle name could be Earl and we would still be suspicious.

His ignorance is only outdone by the distorted view he has of himself and his attitudes

Much as it pains me to say it, it was Alan Keyes who “launched” him into the Senate.

Obama: Israelis suspicious of me because my middle name is Hussein

And it has nothing to do with trying to get them all killed?

How many recall in 2008 during the campaign that anyone mentioning the middle name “Hussein” was banished from the kingdom? Remember how John McCain responded to Bill Cunningham during a Cincinnati rally?

A ‘community organizer’ by any other name is still an anti-American, and in Obama’s case, a racist, and closeted Muslim as well.

Really, there is no longer mere suspicion. Now there is certainty.

“My ability to fool Jewish American community was probably what propelled me to the U.S. Senate,” Obama said.”
Now its corrected.

This is the guy (Obama) that the leftmedia has assured us was practically a genius.

Instead, he's a narcissistic, incompetent America-hater. His anti-Israel policies and dismissive attitude toward our one middle eastern ally while fawning over hostile Arab countries that all have Israel in their bomb-sights has a lot more to do with the Israeli people's unease with Obama than his middle name. That he fails to see this is just another manifestation of his incompetence.
