At a guess I'd say that ATY was just being a wee scamp with his post.

At another guess I'd say that the (childish) use of his middle name - as well as the pathethic Obama/Osama 'slip-ups' - is done in the hope to render the guy somehow less desirable as a potential president.

I wasn't implying that it had anythin ...[text shortened]... th his race - or that you'd be stupid enough to jump onto the 'Hussein = bad' bandwagon.
I just said it to get people fired up. I was feeling a little fiesty.
We all know his middle name SHOULD be irrelevant, but don't underestimate the subconscious.

Fine. As far as I'm concerned he is no better or worse than most of the political hacks that inhabit the world. 99.9% aren't worth a damn for nothing.

Barack Hussein Obama???

Why not elect someone named Osama Bin Lauden? Obama will never be elected president, stop kidding yourselves.

No, actually I had no idea Obama's middle name was Hussein.
