If B. Hussein Obama's name bothers you

Would you vote for a man named Fuerher (or however it's spelled)?

I think you mean Adolf.

Fuehrer is a title, meaning "leader" in German.

Most people don't name their kids Adolf anymore, just like Judas isn't very popular in Christian circles.

Hussein is a very common name in the Islamic world.

If Fuehrer is a common name, I haven't seen it much.

No, I mean Fuerher, like the teacher that worked at my school last year.

Yes I know Hussein is a common name...kind of like Fuerher seems to be.

I can honestly say I run into it just as much as I do Hussein. Both are rare but I do see them now and then. I'm in Los Angeles. Where are you?

I don't know any Husseins personally, but I do see the name quite often on TV.

I grew up in Southern California (tried to avoid LA) and didn't run into any Fuehrers. I've lived in Texas, Colorado and Oklahoma and haven't run into and Fuehrers in any of those states either.

OK this is just weird. Both are rare? Hussein is as common as Smith or Jones among Middle Easterners , I've run into many people with that name. But Fuerher? . Never heard of the name before.

google around and you can find the U.S. Census Bureau's ranking of surnames ...
