The birth cert thing - this was covered somewhere else, your birth certificate doesnt give your race as "Arab" or "Scandinavian."
Constant invocation of "Hussein" irritates people because it implies he has some nefarious connection to a sore spot the American people have, 9/11, and because by using it you show yourself to be the right-wing hate-email believer type. Were you not aware of this? I hope you understand now.
His father's bc was Kenyan I think. Are you sure 70 years ago Kenyan's bc's didn't give race?
I imagine it does irritate some people. It's his name and I'll use it if I choose to. The left gets easily irritated, poor little things.
What's the point of using Hussein? Nobody's ever called me "Bobby Hurley" before, even though that would probably be a cooler name than my actual name. Why would his being an Arab even matter if it were true, anyway? Obviously he considers himself to be black, his friends consider him to be black as far as I'm aware, and some arabs are black, his dad was black, it's not completely a racial classification... only a racist moron would see this as any type of legitimate issue. Besides, why would you trust what some right wing website says about a birth certificate they may not have even seen?

I do think it's funny that the left stamp their feet in a rage when Mr. Obama's middle name Hussein is used considering they called President Bush "W" in a derogatory fashion for the last 8+ years.
Such as the W the President stickers. You don't have one? I totally have one on my gigantic Suburban so that I can thumb my Real American nose at the bulging collectivized entity of single-minded zombie clones known as "the left," who stamp their feet in unison when they hear things that anger the mother brain.

Strickland doesnt like Obama and doesnt want to ruin his political career by running with Obama and being known as a racist.
Only someone like Webb who needs any help he can get will benefit from it, Strickland knows Obama would hurt him because people in Ohio do not like Obama much and he knows it.
By the way, Obama CANNOT win the Presidency without winning Ohio, PERIOD!
He cannot carry Ohio, Florida, Pa, Texas or maybe even Calf. so how is it he can win at all without these states?

uh he said he would be voting democrat though...so in essence, hes giving lip service.
Do you even understand the electoral map? California? Texas? Obama has about as good of a chance winning texas as I do getting struck by lightening while wearing pants made out of winning Powerball tickets and he knows this.
