Tell us all where he's done that before. Seriously. We'd like to hear it.

My President having a middle name which is the same as the last name of someone i don't care for?

Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Obama's middle name being HUSSEIN has no more influence over his character than the names John, Lee, George, Ronald, Bill have on anyone with those names. Quit trying to troll!!! Although I dont particularly care for Obama, he WILL be our POTUS. I think we need to give him at least 6-months to a year to try and prove his character with how he deals with the mess this country has become before we start shouting out pointless rants.

This comment gets even dumber the more I think about it. Were you upset every time John Sidney McCain used his name to appease or gain favor with the Anglo-Saxon community?

Why not? It's his given name.

Yeesh. The people who killed thousands on 9/11 were Muslims. However... and you should really try to take some time and think about this... most Muslims have next to nothing in common with those people. You may as well say "Humans kill thousands of Americans on 9/11, yet our President is concerned with OUR image as seen through their eyes."

Just as true. Just as accurate. Just as misleading.

Continue to conflate. While you're at it, maybe you could meet a few actual Muslims. I could introduce you to a few if you'd like.

pardon me, but anyone who believes that Obama's middle name should be subject of any controversial issue is doing nothing but stirring racism and smearing fear among those who are either too ignorant or too gullible to swallow that type of propaganda.

Unfortunately until Obama can prove them wrong, we're still gonna have to listen to the mindless crap like that. And even then it'll be a crapshot.
In their feeble minds I guess anyone with the name of Lee, John or Jack are nothing but killers...(LEE Harvey Oswald, JOHN Wilkes Booth & JACK The Ripper!

I get the feeling a lot of these posters who are hung up on things like names are barely out of High School, if that.
