Are you serious or are you lying?
Is Obama insulting himself when he uses his own middle name? Did he insult himself when he used it to get sworn in?

What is insulting is those that are trying to make using a persons middle name mean an insult

heck Obama has joked about his middle name

Lighten up and relax its just not that serious

Elected reps have no business saying those that attend tea parties are unAmerican and the other things thats been said about them
What makes them decent? Just because they are going out calling Obama a "Muslin" and comparing to Hitler? Makes them decent?

They are citizens but decent...well. We don't know. That might be pushing it.

I am sure they did. They sure did not like freedom of speech either. People were taken out of a Bush speech. I am sure he wanted it like that.

But either way, it is not a Democrat or Republican thing. Both sides are pretty EFFED up. You and me? We both know it.

No one cares.

Yes, it is, when the person doesn't go by it. I have a cousin named Robert Leslie [Smith] (Smith isn't his real last name, I'm not putting his real name but it's a pretty common last name). He doesn't care for his middle name because he's named after a grandfather but feels Leslie is more of a girl's name. So he just goes by "Bob [Smith]" or even "Robert [Smith]". He doesn't even put his middle initial on any forms, business cards, etc. if he doesn't have to.

If someone called him "Leslie" he would be offended, especially if it was someone who was adamant about disliking him. Yes, it's his middle name, but that would be insulting to him to intentionally call him that in an effort to be insulting.

And that's what every stupid idiot who calls President Obama "hussein" is doing - they are trying to be insulting and disrespectful. But they're just being stupid jackasses, nothing new for them.

Not all are calling Obama a muslim So why are you lumping the entire group in with a couple of few?

Look its wrong for him to be called Hitler but it was just as wrong for democrats to call Bush Hitler.

People have been taken out of Obamas also.

Yeah both parties are messed up but I am so tired of this insulting citizens just because they dont agree with you. Insult someone for having big ears or a big nose or dressing badly whatever but that insulting someone for simply not agreeing is just a manner to try and silence a group. To avoid a debate on an issue or focusing on the issue at hand

We are allowed to have different opinions and shouldnt have to face insults or the white house making comments about us for not agreeing with them. This is America

No, it is that serious. It's intentional disrespect to the President of the USA. And you know, I'm actually fine with that in the sense that it's people's right to be disrespectful if they want - we have freedom of speech.

What I am simply doing is calling out every stupid jackass who does this and tries to explain it as simply "using his name", because the fact is that they're trying to be disrespectful.

When Obama uses his own middle name it's very rare (the only times I can think of are when he was sworn in for Congress and for the Presidency) and when he used his middle name it was always with his first and last names. So if people want to call him "Barack Hussein Obama", then I can buy that they're not trying to be insulting. But by isolating only "hussein" in a manner that he never has done, it is clear what those stupid jackasses are doing. They just don't realize what a bunch of stupid jackasses they come across as when they do it, and they think they're fooling people by saying stupid, moronic things like "durrr it's his name durrrrrrrr does he insult himself when he use his middle name durrrr durrr durr durrrrrrr"...

Dead serious. The scum knew exactly what they were doing and said it.

Well I will leave the unhinged left to continue their whining over hussein obama's name. Personally I am bored with it.

Lol No its not and you need to get over it. Its his middle name.

I am cracking up at you making a big deal out of using the name that is on Obamas birth certificate I mean how dare someone @ you trying to make using a persons middle name an issue.

How dare someone use the name that Obamas mother gave him lol

So you can actually call someone an idiot and insult people but darn it call Obama by his name and thats an insult

Ok I cant stop laughing at this anymore you have a good one

Barrack Hussein Obama.

I said it before and I say it again. It was wrong for BOTH sides to do it.

It is not just Obama who is doing it. Give me a break. Bush did it too.

Look I am not insulting anyone. I don't care what they do. They're unimportant to me. If anything, I thank them for providing me with laughs.

Were you angry when the right were insulting Democrats who were protesting?

How strange. I am calling out all those (how did you put that?) stupid jackasses that are so racist and bigoted that they see the name hussein as insulting and disrespectful.
