What's really behind the vehement protests against the mention of Barack Obama's middle name and the arrogant advice of some Democrats NOT to oppose him in certain ways (as though they really want to be helpful to those who DON'T want Barack to become the President of the United States)?
Answer: Grave concern that the Barack bubble will burst, if he's closely inspected.
The middle name of the candidate of hope and change (and supporter of infanticide and euthanasia as well as abortion) is Hussein. When it's mentioned, some folks go insane.
But the rookie United States Senator is a son of the late Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a Kenyan Muslim who died long ago as a result of an automobile accident in his homeland, and Barack has not chosen to legally change his name.
The protests of the use of Barack's middle name should highlight the amazing fact that the general public is still so ignorant about the current frontrunner for the Democrat presidential nomination and the interest of many that they remain ignorant.
Similarly, when a photo of Barack posing a couple of years ago in African garb during a visit to Kenya was posted on The Drudge Report and shown on television, the Obama campaign treated it as a racist dirty trick.
It was a posed photo!
If Barack did not want to the American people to see him so dressed, he should not have dressed that way and posed for the photo.
In my article "More on Mrs. Obama's Thesis," I stated what should be obvious: "There needs to be scrutiny of the Obamas and their goals instead of blithe assumption that they are the solution to America's problems."
An astute lady greatly pained by the political correctness scandal commonly known as the Duke case emailed me: "...that one sentence summarizes exactly what needs to be done before the November elections. Hillary hasn't called Obama out on the issues because she too is a socialist; McCain has been forced to apologize for someone else saying Barack HUSSEIN Obama. The same PC forces that are still molding the Duke case ("let's just move along...") are running our country--into the ground."
The lady is right.
John Sidney McCain thought that someone else stating Barack Hussein Obama's full name was reason for him to apologize.
Political correctness gone mad.
Democrats enjoyed using President Nixon's middle name (Milhouse), but Barack's middle name should not be used (lest people be inspired to learn more about him).
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was not ashamed to be called Martin Luther King and he was very proud of Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr.
Both of them were Christian and the Reverend was NOT a bigamist.
The son of Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. (a Muslim who married Barack's mother while still married to his first wife) has not legally changed his name and seems worried that the mention of his middle name might be problematic with some potential voters.
Barack identifies himself as a Christian, but he lies when he finds it helpful. For example, during his Ohio debate with Hillary he identified himself as a constitutional law professor when lamenting his failure to block the United States Congress from passing a law permitting Terri Schiavo's parents to go to federal court to try to prevent Terri from being starved and dehydrated to death. The truth is that he was a lecturer, not a professor, and he has to know the difference.
Barack's a self-identified Christian who not only received the highest praise from Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam, but also chose as his pastor the radical Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
Wikipedia: "Wright has...attracted controversy for his association with Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam. Wright travelled to Libya with Farrakhan in the 1980s. In 2007, Wright addressed this by saying 'When [Obama’s] enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli to visit Colonel Gadaffi with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell.' In 2007, Trumpet Magazine (published and edited by Wright's daughter) presented the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to Farrakhan, whom it said 'truly epitomized greatness.' Wright is quoted in the magazine offering praise of Farrakhan 'as one of the 20th and 21st century giants of the African American religious experience' and also praised Farrakhan's 'integrity and honesty.'"
Yes, Barack said he disagreed with the decision to give that award to Farrakhan and also "denounced" and (after prodding from Hillary) also "rejected" Farrakhan's support during their Ohio debate. But Farrakhan was NOT cunningly expressing support of Barack to hurt him and Barack has not been scrutinized.
Plenty of Presidents of the United States happily used their middle names: John Quincy Adams, William Henry Harrison, James Knox Polk, Rutherford Birchard Hayes, Chester Alan Arthur, William Howard Taft, Warren Gamaliel Harding, Herbert Clark Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight David Eisenhower, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Richard Milhouse Nixon, Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr., James Earl Carter, Jr., Ronald Wilson Reagan, George Herbert Walker Bush, William Jefferson Clinton and George Walker Bush.
Harry S Truman didn't have a middle name, so he selected a middle initial for himself.
Stephen Grover Cleveland enjoyed his middle name so much than he dropped his first name.
Likewise, Thomas Woodrow Wilson and John Calvin Coolidge, Jr. used their middle names.
President Grant modified his name (originally Hiram Ulysses Grant) long before he appeared to be a presidential possibility, to avoid teasing.
Wikipedia: "At the age of 17, Grant entered the United States Military Academy...after securing a nomination through his U.S. Congressman, Thomas L. Hamer. Hamer erroneously nominated him as 'Ulysses S. Grant of Ohio,'knowing Grant's mother's maiden name was Simpson and forgetting that Grant was referred to in his youth as 'H. Ulysses Grant' or 'Lyss.' Grant wrote his name in the entrance register as 'Ulysses Hiram Grant' (concerned that he would otherwise become known by his initials, H.U.G.), but the school administration refused to accept any name other than the nominated form. Grant adopted the form of his new name with middle initial only."
Hopefully, the attention focused on Barack's middle name and posed photo of him dressed in African garb will inspire scrutiny of Barack, especially his Islamic and Kenyan connections, sooner rather than later.
