Flipping Obama the Middle Name ...

Posted by: Matt Lewis at 10:18 AM

The front page of the hard copy of today's New York Times includes two references to "Barack Hussein Obama". One reference was actually a front page headline -- and the other reference was the first line from this front-page story.

I have not noticed many references to Obama's middle name recently (in fact, I thought we had all agreed it was not appropriate to mention it), and this struck me as unusual and interesting. What's up???

HA! Maybe Kennedy was having a flash back to that night in Chappaquiddick when he killed Mary Jo Kopechne when he called him Osama?

...[continued] Clinton, Carter,...
...Pelosi, Reid, Biden, Dodd, Byrd (Mr. KKK)...even Kennedy.

Good point, Rashum...
...but remember that Ted Kennedy once called Hussein the Messi-uh "Osama". What a hoot, B. Hussein Osama. That's as anti American a name as anyone can have. Except maybe Ayres, Wright...

Hussien
During the whole convention there has been no mention of his middle name by Michelle my belle,or by any of the other speakers. In the past the use of middle names was common. Willian Jefferson Clinton,Ronald Wilson Reagan,George Walker Bush. The moms and family background stories generally start by the full name and where they were born.Barrack Hussien Obama N/T . Michelle said "who names their kid Barrack?" To go further "Who does name their kids Barrack,Hussien,Obama?" We know who and they do not want to remind Americans of the background of his father. Maybe we should ask about his grand-parents on his fathers side!

"Hussein"
Well its not "bin Laden" but "Hussein" is probably the second worst middle name someone could have!

Using "Hussein"...priceless...
...just to see the hysterical response from the sycophantic, drooling worshippers of the Messi-uh. Thank you, all ye sycophants above and yet to show up.

NYT may be catching on to the fact...
...that the public is turning away from the establishment press in droves. They actually printed some other news that comes dangerously close to telling the "viscious truth".

Lewis is just asking why the NYT is suddenly using the middle name. Chill out.

Newsflash!
Hey, Neo-Cons: Here's a newsflash that you people have obviously NEVER heard before: Obama's middle name is "Hussein." Got it?! Big news, right? ((Do you people have any idea how desperate and silly you sound? Anyway.... it's fun to watch you squirm.))
