Barack Hussein Obama
By Lawrence | March 7, 2008
Oh man. Did you know this? I did not, until recently, when someone introducing McCain at a political rally let it slip. Barack Hussein Obama.
Oh woman. This is terrible news. That Barack, the quintessentially eclectic savior of modern American politics, he just had to be THAT eclectic. Oh, Barack. Hiding nothing from your past. The marijuana use. Born in Hawaii, lived in Indonesia. Muslim Grandfather, chiefly agnostic father who you never knew…a Christian conversion in a huge metropolitan American church, to sanitize that history and make palatable to Americans…
‘No,’ I can picture Barack saying. ‘I will NOT go to the courthouse and get this middle moniker dropped, or changed. I yam what I yam.’
Great. just great. Let me ask you all something: why haven’t we heard of this middle name before? (or have we, and I am just ridiculously out of touch? I have missed entire pop culture and musical epochs while being ensconced in a cocoon of self inflicted emotion before, but…) Barrack Saddam Hussein Obama Bin Laden. Why isn’t Hilary harping on this?
I will tell you what I think: this little tidbit is being saved for the general election. We heard it first from the McCain camp after all, but the announcer just let it slip a little early. When this little nugget comes out…
will we be doomed to another Republican and perpetual war in the Middle East just because the guy is white with an Irish name?
Americans will see past that, not judge the book by its cover? hmmm, show me. show me when we have seen past something like that.

What does his middle name have anything to do with it

What do you mean what? There is a substantial portion of the population that believes Obama is a Muslim, and has been to visit sheiks and desert holy men, and that his election will mean running pages from the Koran up the flagpole. They don’t know WHY they believe this, exactly, but believe it they do!
