You know the answer already, but I will spell it out to you:
1. There is no evidence--not a shred--that supports the claim that President Obama was not born in the United States.
2. To state or imply that President Obama was not born in the United States is a statement that he is not really American, not really part of our common population and heritage.
3. The only thing that distinguishes President Obama from other prominent political figures for whom there were actually serious questions about their citizenship, such as Barry Goldwater and John McCain, is that those others were white.
4. Nobody of any political party raised any serious question about the eligibility of Goldwater or McCain to serve as President.
5. Many of the people who make the baseless claims about President Obama's eligibility are the same people who tell lies about his religion and disseminate openly racist caricatures and spread other appeals to racism.
6. Many of these same people, yourself included, repeatedly make the false claim that supporters of President Obama claim that all critics of President Obama are motivated by racism. You like to call it "the race card".
All of these things combine to demonstrate that when you flaunt the President's middle name you are doing it to reinforce the idea that he is somehow "other" and un-American.
You may not be happy with the fact that your dog-whistle behavior is no longer working, but your constant appeals to racism are no longer any secret.
I cant give enough reps for this post. Totally dismantled the opposition.
Once the Obama fiasco becomes a dim memory, I'm sure there will be another black POTUS. I hope there will be. However, I hope it will be a statesman, not a media hyped "rock star".
So you vote based on skin color...how smart
Lots of WHITE Presidents haven't done so well.... Let's ban all WHITE people from becoming President!!!!!!!
I have no idea where you live or if you know anything about Dubya, but that was a name he used and was to referred to here in Texas long before he ever hit the National sceen. Nice try, to bad ya missed the ball by a mile, try again, Slick.
"Hussein" was the middle name B.O.'s parents/mother chose.
So his name is Barack Hussein Obama.
He certainly must use it on certain papers, it was in his swearing-in,
and probably on his might-be-real Hawaiian record of birth.
Kinda like when women did "firsts". If ONE failed, the sexists(same as racists) said, "See, ALL women can't do that job"....no matter how many times MEN had also failed.
Yes they did and do. Which is exactly why Obama is for women and their accomplishments and republicans are waging a war against them

Why didnt bush ruin any other white mans chance? Double standard maybe?

Whats sad is not to be able to see this as racist. "I like his thinking but he is black like Obama so I cant vote for him". "But this guy is like bush but I wont hold that against him though just the black guy".
He decides to run, after one of the worse recessions since the 20's, high unemployment, a housing crisis, and wars in Iraq and afgan. Add to that the usually house fighting between democrats and republicans, obama was doomed and we won't see another candidate for a long time. We see what happens when a black man becomes president, racial tension just came out from under the ground.
Let's not even get into what became of Philadelphia under Mayor Nutter,
and how "well" DC has done under its mayors, from Barry to Fenty to Gray.
Then let's look at NYC's turnaround in crime and other factors from the early 90s, when Dinkins was mayor, to the time of Guliani and Bloomberg.

A "statesman" can be of any color. As can a "media hyped rock star".
