This isn't change, just more of the same B.S. we saw from Bush.

Obama = Bush

I guess Obama will be a failed presidency just like Bush.
Anything is possible these days I guess,but I pray that you are wrong .

I know the feeling....it seems the state of IL and the feds are clearing WAY more money on me than I am right now....looks good on paper,but when I reach in my back pocket ,all I feel is a fat butt,no money.

Since I found out I'm a coward capitalist pig who should fear the future of America from someone who ran on hope and change from people who evaded taxes and defended known criminal organizations who later felt obligated to apologize for that backing and some not even willing to be put to the public test....

I'm going to see if I can get a psychiatrist.

2 months should get me 1 hour.

How the heck is the planet dying?

And how did Pres. Bush make big businesses get rewarded for abandoning our workers?

YES I'M GLAD I VOTED FOR BUSH. I'M ALSO GLAD THAT I DIDN"T VOTE FOR THAT BUFFOON B. HUSSEIN OBAMA

By highlighting Obama's middle name, are you celebrating your bigotry or do you actually think there is some significance to his having one of the most common names in the world?

Perhaps you thought everybody should be named Jim George Smith. Then you can say "He's one of us!"

ignorance.

'I, Barack Hussein Obama, ...' : NPR

The trouble with our liberal friends is that rule of thumb. When you point your finger at someone you have three pointed back at you. They made a story a long time ago...something like a "boy cried wolf". You'll find out.

Ummm - the individual highlighted "Hussein" to give it significance. I was simply wondering what the significance was - it certainly wasn't with the intention of celebrating his multi-cultural, international heritage, my conservative friend.

Didn't Obama take the oath of office, at least once, using his middle name? I won't repeat it because I don't want to be called a name for using it but he did use it the time he was sworn in in public.

Oh my god. Yes, he uses his middle name all the time. If you look at the post in question, the word "Hussein" is highlighted in a different color within the context of a very negative post about Obama.

That's very different than simply "using" his middle name. The author was quite obviously trying to suggest that

a) he is Muslim and
b) there's something wrong with that (which there certainly isn't).

Enough. End of this topic.
