Don’t you DARE use MY FULL name!

Mo_Gearhead · 03-01-2008, 03:44 PM

Well, it seems the media and Obama’s camp is crying foul EVERY TIME someone uses his full name. Barack Hussein Obama.

How laughable this is all becoming.

Gee …if only that S.O.B. Saddam had been named Huckabee or McCain!

Lesson for today. If you ever want your child to grow up and get involved in politics, better skip over certain middle names, such as:

James Adolph Smith
Susan Lenin Jones
Stephen Kadaffee Funkhouser
Jessica Stalin Jameson
Laura Vladimir Einstein

No matter how qualified a person was for office, I am certain I could NEVER vote for them if I thought they had a funny/ethnic name!

You know …like Schwartznegger!
I’ve never met him …but he MUST be a Black/Jewish/Kraut!

Barack ?! what the hell kind of name is that?! ...What happened to his former name "Barry"?

jyl · jyl's Garage

His actual, given name is Barack. Barry was a school nickname. When people grow up, sometimes they want to be taken more seriously and not called little Jimmy any more.

As for the "Hussein", some Republican groups are obviously trying to get the stupider voters to think Obama is a Muslim and related to Saddam Hussein. Probably the same groups aiming for the same dimwits as in the 2000 South Carolina primary.

You'll notice no-one refers to McCain as "John Sidney McCain the Third". So apparently the desire to use full names doesn't extend to every candidate.

I think the Muslim/Hussein thing will play out long before the election - they probably should have saved it for closer to the moment.

I wonder if we'll go down the mud trail to McCain's infidelity and divorce too?

Remember how the Dem's went after Romney for have an association with [whisper]Mormons[/whisper]?

Are you SURE about that? I read that "Barry" was his name (not nickname).

I think that he changed back to Barack to regain some blackness .. tho' he certainly could have just added blackness to "Barry" and gotten "Black Barry."

Hoot! Or "Marion Berry"...which really is a food crop grown in Oregon...makes damned good pies, jams & jellies, etc.

And not to forget that Geraldo Rivera used the name Jerry Rivera until he got important and on television.

He went to college with loads of my friends in Tucson and was one of the guys until television came along and he became hispanic to use the minority card.

I am sure you are worried about the Democrat voters being stupid, no Republicans are going to vote for him no matter what he calls himself today. Only the Democrats have a problem with it and mostly Hillarys people are the ones hammering him. Republicans don't care so much yet, Democrat voters have too short of a memory to start hitting him now. We have to give the Democrats the shots at the last second, the attention span is too short.
Remember Florida, Democrat voters, Democrat machines in Democrat Preciencts, oh well.

He may not be a practicing Muslim with a name like that - but you should read about the church he does belong to:

I hadn't read that, nor can I find any reference.

Can you post a link?

Oh, I forgot, you never provide any references for anything you say. You just make it up.

varmint · 03-01-2008, 09:21 PM

anybody remember ann richards? she would always address the first bush as "george-herbert-walker-bush". in that shrill voice of hers. she was trying to remind voters of the family's patrician roots.

it's going to be a long campaign. obama's supporters are implying that even using his middle name is racist. can you imagine the kind of ****fit they'll throw when somebody starts pointing out that the guy isn't a deep thinker?
ultimately, i don't care about the name. the whole issue is already starting to seem tiresome and petty. there are a 100 other reasons not to vote for him.
