middle name is Hussein.

I can't BELIEVE this hasn't been made a huge issue. Or maybe it has and I was under a rock that day or something. Seems the RW would've latched onto that one, god knows they've latched onto stupider things. :shrug:

5. Maybe they misunderstood it. They think he's saying

"Who's Sane?" like a gimmic name, and since none of the right wing is sane, they don't really want to go there.

7. And he's a Jr.!

Barack Obama was born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii to Harvard University-educated economist Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a native of Kenya and a Muslim. His mother is Shirley Ann Dunham, of Wichita, Kansas. At the time of Obama's birth, both his parents were students at the East-West Center of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
