Why do the Obama haters always make a big deal about his middle name Hussein? It is just a name, and has no bearing on the person, their beliefs, their goals, or their capabilities.

Using this method, wouldn't everyone with the name George now suffer the stigma of being thought of as less than intelligent, incompetent, and a liar?

Because people can use it to hate him for what he is instead of his stances...and not be dismissed as simply racists.

But is it even "what he is", it is just a name, assigned at or even before his birth.

I guess when you have nothing, you grasp at anything.

No one cares about his name. The only people that made a big deal about it was him and his supporters. That's why his biggest critics call him barry milhouse as to make no confusion. I mean there are a few islamaphobic lunatics out there, but no one takes them seriously. Though Barry himself didn't help the situation with them with his honest mistake of calling his faith muslim instead of Christian as we all know he is.

Gosh.

I didn't think anyone else knew.

Does this mean he can't turn the Senate Chamber into a mosque? He already has prayer rugs on order and everything.

And the Washington Monument will make such a cool minaret...

We both know why it's done. It provokes an emotional connection to Saddam Hussein. It also provokes an emotional connection with middle-East terrorism.

Michelle Obama made a huge deal about his name during the senate run and in the primaries:
"They threw in the obvious, ultimate fear bomb," Obama said today of her husband's 2004 Senate race. "We're even hearing [that] now. … 'When all else fails, be afraid of his name, and what that could stand for, because it's different.'"

Also, he seems to belong to the name of the month club...he has been Barack Hussein Obama, Barry H. Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barack Hussein Soetoro. He seems to be the one with the problem regarding his name.

Oh yeah, then there's Teddy Kennedy who called him Barack Osama a couple of years ago.
