The Rules: Barack Hussein Obama

If you enjoyed my article yesterday afternoon, “Barack Hussein Obama Plays the Muslim Card,” pay heed! You are to be apprised of the rules as laid out by Victor Davis Hanson and which clearly I violated, as did many of you. Shame on you and me. Given the urgency for implementation and the import of these rules, I am posting them immediately so that, from hereon out and forever more, we will know the protocol:

[Here are the] rules of usage with the name “Hussein”:

1) It is forbidden at home; any American who employs the tripartite presidential name does so only to fan religious, racial, or ethnic prejudice.

2) It is encouraged abroad both in Europe and the Middle East (cf. the al-Arabiya interview) both to establish our president’s multicultural fides and sensitivity to Muslims, and to distance himself from our past illiberal foreign policy and attitudes.

3) Rule #2 only applies to the president himself. Even liberal journalists abroad are not allowed to say “Hussein” even in the most progressive of contexts.

I think I know what happened yesterday to you and me. We heard the president use his full name, and we heard him introduced thusly, and we somehow assumed that we could hereafter do the same. How wrong we were.

How presumptuous you and I were. If only we had known …

For further analysis of the rules, please see Mr. Hanson’s “Rules of Usage” at the National Review.

    What difference does it make? If his middle name is Hussein, well it is and anyone can use it anytime and anywhere. If the Obamas themselves do not follow rules of etiquette as they have clearly shown in this European trip, then why should we adhere to rules with regards to this middle name..

  • politicalidentitycrisis

    HUSSEIN, HUSSEIN, HUSSEIN, HUSSEIN!!!

    BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!

    F!@# YOU BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA! I’M STILL A FREE AMERICAN AND YOU’LL HAVE TO PRY THAT FROM MY COLD, DEAD, BLOODY HANDS YOU PIECE OF SLIME!

  • http://www.thatsmeontheleft.blogspot.com/ Puget Sound Island Girl

    In the past year I believed that if we used his middle name often then it would be so common that people would have to stop calling us racist when we used it. Boy was I wrong. I even had a family member (whom I never see) come after me on my blog and call me a racist. To this day he still believes that I am.

    Hussein is Obama’s middle name. He uses it when he feels it will benefit him. His fans go after us when we use it—-something screwy here.

    BTW—-isn’t Barack a Muslim name also? If so then he has two Muslim names and guess what. . . we get to use both of them!

    Barack Hussein Obama. I can’t wait for some brave soul to write the truth about him.

  • politicalidentitycrisis

    Maybe we should just call President Photo Op Barry Soetoro?

  • I’mFedUp

    How pathetic that we can’t use the “President” of the United States’ real name? ROFLMAO. What the hell kind of dictatorship is this shithole country now? I’ll say whatever the F**K I want and he can’t stop me. Neither can the dirtbag, Kool-Aid drinking azzholes who brought us Frankenbama the Muslim America hater. By the way, many people HAVE written the truth about the Fraud, and people are making movies, etc. about it. The problem is that, until now, the people who told the truth were pissed on and called lunatics and racists. Well, now what do the Bots think? The onion layers are being peeled back and everything we said about him is coming to light. And as the above poster says, I’m not living under Sharia Law, Islam will never be MY religion, and Frankenbama will have to pry my rights out of my cold, dead hands.

    BOjob is probably the most universally understood name and it is so descriptive of the man.

    Ewww – man- just didn’t seem like the right word.

    You’re a moron. Were you held back or something? Sharia Law? LOL impossible to exist in the US.

    “From NBC’s Domenico Montanaro
    The Vermont legislature legalized gay marriage by overriding Republican Gov. Jim Douglas’s veto.

    Douglas issued the veto yesterday. The state legislature needed a two-thirds majority to override it, and got it.

    Vermont is the fourth state to legalize gay marriage. Iowa did so last week. The others: Massachusetts and Connecticut.”

    :)

  • NoTrollZone

    It was absolutely amazing that Hussein became unutterable. Many blog sites wouldn’t even let commenters use his middle initial. At that point, everyone should have known we were in the middle of something truly weird. I’ve never seen a politican–or anyone else, for that matter– coddled like the infanta Obama.

  • Carlaforhillary

    Nothing is impossible in the U.S.; That is why it is the U.S.

  • I’mFedUp

    You’re the moron. Look at England you loser.

  • brodie

    I think it is NOT impossible in the US. It should have been impossible in the UK, but they have a limited version of it being implemented now. But you probably think we all have the same rights here, too. Some of us are more equal than others- that is clear.

  • James

    Yea Muslims have it soooooo good. LOL @ you guys.

  • smiley

    What a crock. Offal by any other name is still offal. And as Groucho Marx might stay, ‘Barky Hussein Obamarama is still pretty awful, even if you just call him to lunch.’

  • I’mFedUp

    James…I can’t wait until you see the life you get when demented, deranged, moronic, America Hating piece of filth Fraudbama is done with us. You won’t like it. You’ll have to get off the dole and actually work, probably in one of the Fraud’s civilian labor camps. You have no idea WTF you did by voting for this really mentally ill nut.

  • candymarl

    People/MSM said William Jefferson Clinton. They said Franklin Delano Roosevelt. They said John Fitzgerald Kennedy. They said Dwight David Eisenhower. They said Richard Milhous Nixon.

    Now we have a “President” whose middle name we cannot say.

    Barrack Hussein Obama. Barrack Hussein Obama. Barrack Hussein Obama.

    Don’t like it Mr. Obama? Change your name. Again. Or perhaps I should call you Barry Soetoro?

  • FLDemFem

    I think it was a good idea not to use Hussein during the campaign. After all, BO describes Obummer much better than BHO would have. BHO doesn’t have quite the same “odor” about it that BO does. Heh.

  • beebop

    I personally favor Barack Insane 0bama. I’m sticking to it.

  • Minnow

    James, try googling Sharia + Texas. Whether you like it or not, Sharia law is alive and well and getting a foothold in America. Most Americans live under American law – if you’re a Muslim, you can bypass American law and opt for Sharia law if it relates to family law. You’re deceiving yourself if you think the world-wide caliphate has decided to give the USA a pass.

  • James

    LOL you assume too much!

    I had the pleasure of NOT voting for him TWICE. He IS a fraud. My objection is to the Muslim bashing I see from people who hate the guy (not necessarily from you, but from others).

  • James

    What a very small minority practice in the US is irrelevant to our American justice system and our way of life.

  • I’mFedUp

    No one is bashing Muslims…we’re bashing a LIAR who claimed he wasn’t one. We also are bashing the fact that he has ZERO loyalty to America and keeps bashing US on his America Sucks World Tour. We are bashing his policies, America hate, and his mental issues that are really apparent. We are bashing the fact that he has no interest in protecting America’s sovereignty, which means he is a traitor. We are bashing Obama going along with this “One World” nonsense and selling us out at the G20 with that BS Communique. He’s killing America. By the way, I don’t believe you. I think you are a Bot and lying about voting for him. Nothing you say makes any sense. Period.

  • andrew191

    His given name is meaningless. He recieved it when he was an infant, long before he developed into what he is today. If adults were compelled to change their names to accurately reflect what they have grown to become, then the name “Barack Hussein 0bama” should be changed to “Shithead”. Wouldn’t that satisfy the PC police?

  • jbjd

    Now, this is what I would call a “Hobson’s Choice”: you can be called either Barack Hussein Obama OR Barry Soetoro. Pick one.

  • Ron4Hills

    “W2″ keeps it simple.

  • James

    I’ve been around NQ since March 2008 using the same name. You can try to search old posts. I didn’t post in all of them of course, but I’ve been around. I was a strong HRC supporter in the primaries. Didn’t vote for Obama in the general.

    Believe what you want.

  • I’mFedUp

    James…Nice Bot talking points. Are you wearing your Underoos as we speak? ROFLMAO. Sharia Law will BECOME part of our justice system you numbnuts. That’s the POINT.

  • I’mFedUp

    If you supported HRC then how in hell can you speak your Bot talk defending Frankenbama? Sorry, I’m not buying it.

  • Claire

    He was not named Barack Hussein Obama as an infant – where have you been?

  • Portia Elizabeth

    Here in New Hampshire they’re working on getting this into law as well. Who knows? Maybe the country is finally waking up to tolerance. Maybe some day they’ll accept the idea of a woman as President. (Yes, I’m still bitter, dammit.)

  • I’mFedUp

    OT…But everyone should check this PATHETIC crap out. Since no one paid attention to the so called “stimulus bill” (translate the takeover of America by the commies bill) look at the RAT that was hidden in there. Nice. One by one all of America’s rights, freedoms and protections against a dictatorship have been eroded…

    http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/The-RAT-hiding-deep-inside-the-stimulus-bill-39805642.html

  • Portia Elizabeth

    Susan, I think you’ve really touched a nerve here. People just can’t laugh about something so absurd because it’s so painfully true.

  • andrew191

    I’m fully aware of the evolution of his name, but dragging in too much complexity sometimes detracts from humor. What a wet blanket you are.

  • I’mFedUp

    Susan hit a nerve because we all smelled a RAT, a big one, and we got bashed every time we tried to point out who this moron really is. Now look what we got. Yes, it’s a big open, gaping wound for some of us. I cry every day about Obama and what he is doing to us, when I know we all tried to stop it.

  • James

    I’mFedUP: “If you supported HRC then how in hell can you speak your Bot talk defending Frankenbama? Sorry, I’m not buying it.”

    I try to be fair. I know Obama is a complete fraud. I knew it from day one that he’s nothing more than a political opportunist. But these kind of attacks on family history is nonsense IMO. You may like to bash Obama for ANYTHING and that’s your right, but I try to be reasonable.

    Look, Obots would never be ashamed to say they voted for Obama. They wouldn’t hide from it. They’d rub it in your face that he won. Use some logic. You’re not an Obot if you defend Obama ONCE (this is really one of the few times I’ve defended him). I find economic issues more important than whether or not he lied about a Muslim past in the election. To each his own.

  • NoTrollZone

    I’m still bitter too, Portia. We got crap instead of quality.

  • I’mFedUp

    James, that just proves it again…So, it’s okay for the POTUS to be a liar? To refuse to provide the vital documents the rest of us peasants have to provide to get a job? You think that’s okay? What it shows is WHO HE IS. Being reasonable does not mean it’s okay that Obama said he was Christian, and then goes to Turkey and says he’s Muslim. Where’s the trust for us in that? The voters in this country had a right to vote for truth, which they got NONE of. NONE. Now, we pay for it. As for the Muslim thing, I’m not bashing Muslims, nor have I ever done so. What I WILL say with conviction is that his loyalties were evident from the beginning, from day one, and they’re not towards AMERICA. If part of that has to do with him being Muslim, then so be it. Whatever makes him hate Americans, and America, so much that’s what I will bash.

    Biomarriage is the gold standard nuclear DNA-melding marriage. I’ve also heard of Sacramentalmarriage or Faithmarriage. Then there’s the guy who said his first was his Stupidmarriage.

  • wodiej

    what person in their right mind would purposely change their name to HUSSEIN?? Apparently he thought it was beneficial at the time and when he thought it would be a liability, he doesn’t want it used.

    Too bad, Barack Hussein Obama, it’s a free country, not just for Democrats but for everyone. GET OVER IT!!

  • Judy L. NC

    You’re onto something, beebop. I’m joining you: Barack Insane Obama it is.

  • helenk

    I just call him backtrack. Every time he claims he believes in something, within 24 to 48 hours he backtracks and says something else.
    He does not believe in the constitution or American rights and liberties.
    He and his mentors and so called friends would hurt America before they would help America.

    WOMEN WITH INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERIENCE,MEN WHO SUPPORT THEM AND COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS

    PUMAS,BUBBAS,EQUALISTS AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE

  • wodiej

    Wow…you don’t think it’s relevant or important that the President lied about being a muslim?? Wow….Sorry James, but that does strongly resemble Obot behavior/mentality. He lied about it because he knows how Americans feel about muslims after 9/11 and felt it would take away some votes-PERIOD.

  • James

    Did I say it isn’t important? I said it’s not as important as other issues IMO. And did he really say he’s a Muslim. He’s said there are many Americans that are Muslims OR have Muslims in their family and that he’s one of them — as in he is acknowledging that he has Muslims family members, which is not a surprise.

    He lied during the election, he wasn’t upfront about his past. Fine. But these legitimate criticisms are always taken too far from a lot of unconditional Obama haters and usually go into Muslim bashing.

  • James

    No, I just don’t find it as important as other issues. My objection is that these kind of criticisms then usually get out of hand and turn into Muslim bashing from people who fail to see distinctions you or I see.

  • I’mFedUp

    I can’t even speak to the Bot talk, James. “He lied during the election, he wasn’t up front about his past. Fine.” FINE? What part of that is “fine?” Christ. Let’s move on. I can’t take more Bot talk today. This is why America is toast.

  • I’mFedUp

    By the way James, it’s NOT just that he’s Muslim and lied about it. It’s also God Damn America Reverend Wright, Farakhhan, Khalidi, Al Monsour, Ayers, etc. All of his closest mentors and admittedly the people who started his career, Al Monsour having funded his Harvard education. Now, even the biggest moron on the planet can add all those things up and come up with the word TRAITOR. I don’t HAVE friends who talk about hating whitey, hating America and Americans. I don’t have best friends who blew up America’s symbolic edifices. I am a decent respectful person towards my country. Look at the filth in the White House. Muslim? Yeah, when you look at his teachings, his writings, his associations, his beliefs, his mentors, etc. and you listen to his own WORDS from his own MOUTH…lying about being Muslim is fucking terrifying for any true American.

  • http://Godhelpusall lee M

    James, you had better wake up and smell the coffee. With the Treasury Dept. offering seminars on Islamic Finance, and Islamic Compliant Banking being introduced in the U.S., how long do you think it will be before Islamic Family Courts will be allowed in the U.S. if we don’t start to fight now to prevent it?

    With fools like Archbishop Rowan Williams okaying it in Britain and saying that it is inevitable in the West what makes you think that it is impossible?

    Get your head out of the sand and do a little reading and researching about what is causing all the turmoil in England, then speak your piece.

  • James

    What don’t you understand? “Fine” meaning “okay, I acknowledge he wasn’t upfront about his past. I was around during the election too, you don’t need to remind me.”

  • beachnan

    Good one Beebop! I hadn’t heard that one before. Thanks for the first chuckle of the day.

  • I’mFedUp

    James, you called me a “moron” which was hint number one that you are a despicable Bot. You have no business saying something like that to me, and I would compare IQs with you any day and double yours. I find your naivete about the situation pitiful, but it is what it is. You’ll be sorry.

    Mark Levin: “Canada Free Press should be called America Free Press”

    By Judi McLeod Tuesday, April 7, 2009

    The ‘Great One’ Mark Levin
    Canada Free Press (CFP) received its best compliment last night when Mark Levin said on his top rated WABC New York radio show that CFP is “a great site” that does so good a job, it should be called “America Free Press”.

    Levin went on to read, word for word, CFP columnist Alan Caruba’s piece, A Formula for Failure, in which Caruba lamented that “Oil producing nations such as Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, along with Venezuela, will grow rich while Americans will be faced with high costs for gasoline, motor and heating oil, and everything else that depends on oil such as asphalt or even Vaseline.”

    In his typical take-no-prisoners style, Caruba accused Obama’s science advisor, John Holdren of “out-doing Al Gore with predictions of global warming calamities. Back in the 1970s he was worrying whether mankind would survive the “threat of making the planet too cold.” “

    “Meanwhile, Wall Street is watching investment drop like a stone as Timothy Geithner, the Secretary of the Treasury, testifies that U.S. oil and natural gas producing companies should not receive federal subsidies in the form of tax breaks because their businesses contribute to global warming!”

    With Barack Obama making having made it clear where his true loyalties lie in Turkey yesterday by stating the United States “is not and will never be at war with Islam”, Levin’s recently launched book, Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, number one on Amazon, couldn’t have been more timely.

    Now that Obama’s mask has slipped with statements such as, “We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country,” the courage of Mark Levin will be an even bigger inspiration for freedom lovers the world over.

    Obama’s words were spoken like a true Muslim. On the same day, Levin’s words were spoken like a true patriot, “Try to say something nice about our country!”

    Imagine a U.S. president who travels the world putting his own country down!

    Long before Obama’s speeches were being carried live by Al Jazeera and Al Arabiyia, two of the biggest Arabic satellite channels, Levin was calling Obama short, saying, “He hates the military”.

    As for Mark Levin saying that Canada Free Press should be called America Free Press, that’s a name CFP would wear proudly.

    As Obama masquerades as `President of the World’, freedom-loving citizens everywhere should be alarmed. If this clearly anti-American president takes down the United States, the Free World, as we know it, goes down with it.

    Meanwhile, yesterday it was Obama over-reaching in Turkey.

    Today, it’s “Patriots Unite!”

  • candymarl

    Amen. If what he says is true then produce the paperwork and prove it.

    Why spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep documents sealed that you say can prove you are right? No one does that unless they are hiding something that is more than just embarrassing.

    His birth records are not classified. His college records are not classified. So what’s the big deal? If they are embarrassing? Too frickin’ bad.
    They didn’t mind embarrassing Bill Clinton or Richard Nixon.

  • Docelder

    I recall having this discussion during the general election as well. The official website says he was never Muslim… o.k. well at some point in his life his identity changed from Barry to Barack. We don’t know when, or why but we do know who. Barack himself changed his own name he wanted to be known by. So, is there anything wrong with being Muslim, no. But we aren’t the ones who have issues with this, and he apparently does. That is the irony of it all. Here we have a man who has two Muslim names who is saying publicly that he was never a Muslim. He publicly states he was raised in a Muslim country and in fact in a Muslim household… but that he was never Muslim himself. There is just something so disingenuous there that goes far beyond whether he was in fact ever Muslim or not. That is the relevant point.

  • I’mFedUp

    It’s coming. Someone WILL make the Fraud cough up the vital documents soon.

  • http://Godhelpusall lee M

    P.S. Obama insisted on using Hussein when being sworn in. Why the change of heart? Has something happened that I don’t know about? I don’t consider him my president and I will call him by his full name (that he insisted on on Jan 20th) and Protocol and Political Correctness be damned.

    My president wouldn’t curtsey to a Muslim King.

  • Elizabeth

    He underplayed the name in America for obvious reasons and is now showing a CULTURAL affiliation to Islamic people overseas.

    Without being a supporter, even I can see this IS NOT the same claiming Muslim belief for yourself. Heavy pandering maybe…but where’s the outright lie ?

    They’re someone in my family and I lived in a predominately Islamic country ? That’s what we had a 2 year campaign to learn, right ?

  • wodiej

    NQ would never allow muslim bashing on this website. You are defending Obama being dishonest.

  • I’mFedUp

    James = Concern Troll

    Period.

  • James

    Mark Levin? He’s trash.

    Sorry, I didn’t know you have such a fragile ego. I should not have called you a moron.

    Oh and I doubt that your IQ compares to mine given your trashy posts.

  • James

    There have been a few trolls here that were Muslim bashers. And I’m talking about observations on blogs other than NQ.

  • James

    You’re an unconditional Obama basher.

    Period.

  • James

    You’re an unconditional Obama basher.

    You’re just as bad as the Obots who unconditionally defend their leader.

    I agree, but you should just ignore him. If no one responds to his garbage maybe he will go away.

  • I’mFedUp

    Mark Levin is not trash…See, you’re a bot. He tells the truth about your boss. Period. My posts aren’t trash, they are truth, something you seem to have a major problem with. Good luck with that.

  • James

    Mark Levin is conservative trash. Sorry, I’m not an asshole Republican.

  • I’mFedUp

    Yup you are right. Let’s ignore him, wish him the best and move on.

  • I’mFedUp

    And you think that’s an insult? I detest the scumbag. So do the people with brains who knew what he was from day one. Thank you. I find “unconditional Obama basher” to be a compliment. That means I don’t have my head up my ass, like you do.

  • http://Godhelpusall lee M

    “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”.

    To paraphrase Shakespeare, “A turd by any other name would smell as putrid”.

    What difference does it make what he calls himself – Barry Dunham, Barry Soetoro, or Barack Hussein Obama?

    It all boils down to the fact that he is an unknown entity who sneaked into the White House with the help of the same corporate pirates that are milking this country dry. And when he goes to foreign countries and belittles America, I call it Treason with a capital T.

  • James

    I guess you missed the unconditional part. That means you have no reasoning abilities. Sad.

  • James Guglielmino

    Larry, this blog is well beneath a man of your intelligence. I somehow suspect that you really do understand the difference between using President Obama’s middle name in a pejorative manner and using it in a manner designed to reach out to people.
    As for those who are commenting here, you are a disgrace. You have lived through *8* years of a President who arrogantly ignored warnings that we were going to be attacked, who panicked when we were attacked, and perpetrated torture on prisoners, many of whom were totally innocent, who launched a war of aggression against a nation that had absolutely NOTHING to do with the attacks on our nation and used lies to sell his war. On top of that, you “worry” about the constitutionality of what Obama is doing. Where the hell were you while Bush and his minions were trashing our Constitution?

  • Carlaforhillary

    I find it ironic how James twists what we have to say into “us bashing Muslims,” But it is okay to bash you by calling you a moron, which you are not.

  • I’mFedUp

    James is a troll, and not one of the smarter ones. Maybe that little “I’m a Muslim” gaffe has Camp Obot sending out more of the goofballs. And, thank you.

  • James

    What do you mean? I’ve trashed Bush and Obama for their bullshit.

    Yes, some people here like ImFedUp can not see simple distinctions between the use of an Arabic middle name and as a political tool.

    What can you do? Some people will always be haters.

  • candymarl

    Oh yeah I forgot about the medical records. They are not classified either. So what’s the deal?

  • Carlaforhillary

    So now James, you are admitting that Sharia Law exists here in the U.S.; You owe an apology to I’mfedup. Also, you statement is false on it’s face, because women have been murdered here in the U.S. b/c their fathers practice Sharia law. So it is relevant to our way of life, because women who have the right to be free in the U.S. are losing those rights because of Sharia Law.

  • James

    What do you think is in his medical records? A nasty STD.

  • Docelder

    always be haters

    Doesn’t the discussion always revert to this? Why is that? Is that a trump card? Is it like a get a “free” extra turn card? Like a get out of jail card in monopoly? When all else fails, oh well, there is “the card”? I don’t know so much about “haters”… maybe folks just expect more from the President of the United States. Maybe it’s just that.

  • James

    Unfair. I said “some people”, not everyone here. You can’t deny that there are people who will bash Obama for ANYTHING just like there are people would would bash Bush for anything and Clinton for anything.

    I’m just trying to be fair here. I did not vote for Obama TWICE and I feel we could have done a lot better. But according to some people here, that makes me a secret bot?

    This from the guy who thinks we should be more concerned about hurting 0bama’s tiny little feelings when we bash him? Well, I guess you didn’t claim to be consistent did you?

    You’re another Democrapper — wanting understanding and showing none.

  • beebop

    Or, Barack Pander 0bama.

  • I’mFedUp

    Everything you say is foolish James. It’s not just Republicans who hate the Fraud. It’s Democrats too, and Independents, etc. You say the most moronic crap. And by the way, I wasn’t a Republican until before the 2008 phony “selection.” I changed parties and will never look back, because what your band of losers and thieves are doing to this country. Grow up little Obot creep.

  • Hope Change and Unicorns

    Yes it it not about his religion. If he would have said that I am a Muslim or that I was raised Muslim but I have changed my religion over time people could of made a honest assessment of him.

    But he said neither.

  • Docelder

    we could have done a lot better

    Yes, we had a choice of a man who has done everything for this country save to die for it… and I believe he would do that… vs. a man who really is not qualified to put it as nicely as I know how. We chose very poorly. I am not calling you a bot, by the way. I just want the same standards applied to this President that we would apply to any other administration. I would like the expectations to be that he do his elected job. Not the job he inherited, but the one he actively campaigned for. Take the due credit along with the due responsibility. Nothing more, nothing less.

  • James

    You have trouble with reading comprehension. I did NOT vote for Obama. LOL you’re thick. Don’t like him either, just not as extreme as you are.

  • beebop

    Because he is NO MLK, Jr. He’s got no backbone, no integrity, no grit, no belief system bigger than himself. It is all about winning. He could not for one moment risk the ignorance of Americans who hear the word “muslim” and freak out …. Racism and Sexism however? He had not one damn problem with using BOTH of those …. and for that I pray he is forever damned to Hell.

  • James

    I agree with you completely.

  • beebop

    Who knows what is on there? But to release a one page letter from his doctor as adequate for the job? Arrogance personified and the media let him slide.

  • I’mFedUp

    No, I believe that he was treated for some kind of mental disorder.

  • georgiapeach

    That’s the best one I’ve seen yet BeeBop. I hope you won’t mind if I use it too.

  • I’mFedUp

    You have trouble lying. You call people “morons” for no reason and wrongfully make up lies that people here are “Muslim bashing.” GFY troll.

    I really believe that there is an 80% population that would be ecstatic with a centrist government. Yes, there are the 10% at either end that want something else… but most of us want the middle ground. Most of us want a representative government that compromises give and take. In that 80% will be Bush voters, Obama voters, McCain voters as well as people who have given up all hope of ever voting again. My fear is that we will rebound from Obama into something like a Gingrich presidency. How do we recover that center?

  • Elizabeth

    He could have said that he was brought up in a Muslim home, it would only have raised questions of how that could be living with parents who converted to Atheism, a presumably still Christian set of maternal grandparents and a particularly unreligious stepfather. If he had said that he was a practicing Muslim, which I don’t believe is the case, then it would be an obvious lie besides political suicide.

    The only real choice from a strategic standpoint was to downplay the issue and not fan the flames of religious bigotry.

    Pretty funny.

    You know, these Obots that make such outrageous claims of using his name, or middle name, or HOW ones uses it, must all be racists and I guess that is why they don’t see the irony or hypocrisy in their hollow claims.

    Everything out of their mouth is in the view of racism or bigotry in religion.

    They can’t deal with the reality or normalcy.

    Their mere claim is racist. That you can’t refer to Obama’s full name, you know, like Bill Jefferson Clinton or George “W” Bush, or even his father George HERBERT Bush, Barack Hussein Obama. That means they are embarrassed or view his name as being racial. That is a big problem THEY HAVE.

    Barack Hussein Obama, or Barack H Obama

    Obama: Islam Has Shaped the U.S.A.

    By Robert Spencer
    FrontPageMagazine.com
    | Tuesday, April 07, 2009

    “We will convey,” said Barack Obama to the Turkish Parliament Monday, “our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.”

    Undeniably the Islamic faith has done a great deal to shape the world – a statement that makes no value judgment about exactly how it has shaped the world. It has formed the dominant culture in what is known as the Islamic world for centuries. But what on earth could Obama mean when he says that Islam has also “done so much” to shape his own country?

    Unless he considers himself an Indonesian, Obama’s statement was extraordinarily strange. After all, how has the Islamic faith shaped the United States? Were there Muslims along Paul Revere’s ride, or standing next to Patrick Henry when he proclaimed, “Give me liberty or give me death”? Were there Muslims among the framers or signers of the Declaration of Independence, which states that all men – not just Muslims, as Islamic law would have it – are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Were there Muslims among those who drafted the Constitution and vigorously debated its provisions, or among those who enumerated the Bill of Rights, which guarantees – again in contradiction to the tenets of Islamic law – that there should be no established national religion, and that the freedom of speech should not be infringed?

    There were not.

    Did Muslims play a role in the great struggle over slavery that defined so much of our contemporary understandings of the nature of this republic and of the rights of the individual within it? They did not. Did the Islamic faith shape the way the United States responded to the titanic challenges of the two World Wars, the Great Depression, or the Cold War? It did not. Did the Islamic faith, with its legal apparatus that institutionalizes discrimination against non-Muslims, shape the civil rights movement in the United States? The Civil Rights Act of 1964 mandated equality of access to public facilities – a hard-won victory that came at a great cost, and one that Muslim groups have tried to roll back in the United States recently. One notable example of such attempts was the alcohol-in-cabs controversy at the Minneapolis-St. Paul international airport, when Muslim cabdrivers began to refuse service to customers who were carrying alcohol, on Islamic religious grounds. The core assumption underlying this initiative – that discrimination on the basis of religion is justified – cut right to the heart of the core principle of the American polity, that “all men are created equal,” that is, that they have a right to equal treatment in law and society.

    Surveying the whole tapestry of American history, one would be hard-pressed to find any significant way in which the Islamic faith has shaped the United States in terms of its governing principles and the nature of American society. Meanwhile, there are numerous ways in which, if there had been a significant Muslim presence in the country at the time, some of the most cherished and important principles of American society and law may have met fierce resistance, and may never have seen the light of day.

    So in what way has the Islamic faith shaped Obama’s country? The most significant event connected to the Islamic faith that has shaped the character of the United States was the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Those attacks have shaped the nation in numerous ways: they’ve led to numerous innovations in airline security, which in generations to come – if today’s politically correct climate continues to befog minds — may be added to future versions of the fanciful “1001 Muslim Inventions” exhibition. The Islamic faith has shaped the U.S. since 9/11 in leading to the spending of billions on anti-terror measures, and to the ventures in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to Guantanamo, and to so many features of the modern political and social landscape that they cannot be enumerated within the space of a single article.

    Of course, it is certain that Obama had none of that in mind. But what could he possibly have had in mind? His statement was either careless or ignorant, or both – not qualities we need in a Commander-in-Chief even in the best of times.

    Actually, Islam did teach us … SLAVERY

    Islam brought to the world a race-based slave trade on a vast scale.

    The sub-Saharan slave trade was dominated by Arabs for most of its history. It is estimated that the Arabs captured and sold ten times the number of blacks than the Iberian slave trade. Of course, of all the European powers, Spain and Portugal had the largest slave trade. They learned that over the 800
    years that Muslims dominated the Iberian Peninsula.

    The Anglo-American trans-Atlantic slave trade was 1/10 of the Iberian and 1/100 of the Arab slave trade, if we look at cumulative numbers.

    Muslim slave trade wasn’t limited to blacks. Hindus and Slavs suffered even more. In addition, between 1500 and 1800 over a million whites were kidnapped from Europe by Muslim pirates and sold into slavery.

    Given that this is Islam’s major contribution to our history and our most evil institution, what should we think of Islam??

    Elizabeth,Your ignorance of Obama’s family shows your lack of research. The maternal grandparents were not Christian. They moved out of Kansas to get away from Chistianity.

    On one of the ABC morning shows, Obama cited the Koran and said “the sweetest sound in the morning is a call to prayer” and then proceeded to say the beginnings of the call to prayer in the native language.

  • Tuppence411

    In my view, the rules about Barky’s name are just part of the larger set of rules regarding speaking of Muslims and Islam in general: No critiques allowed. No intellectually honest discussions allowed. To do so marks you as an Islamaphobe, racist, fear-monger or worst.

    Barky became the biggest cheerleader for that dangerous mind-set with his comments yesterday in Turkey. Islam means peace. Muslims invented algrebra. Whoopie-sh!t. When can the rest of us have a forthright discussion regarding Islam and muslim majority countries and the very real issues that poses on the world-stage?

  • cynic

    Your point about sub-Saharan slavery is certainly valid, but slavery wasn’t invented by the Muslims. It was a long-standing institution in most early cultures. At the height of Roman power, it’s estimate that 40% of the city’s population were slaves.

    Race-based slavery by Muslim traders was pretty much a reflection of what populations were available for exploitation. More often than not, sub-Saharn slaves were captured and sold by tribal groups of their own race. Race eventually became the buyers’ rationalization. Without that rationalization, slavery wouldn’t have become so prevalent in the Christian, antebellum American South.

  • NoBamaNoWay

    well, i reserve my right to criticise islam, christianity, hinduism, judaism, etc., or any other ideology. religious folks seem to want to use their religion to both justify criticism against others, and simultaneously prohibit criticism against themselves.

    i.e., a muslim can kill a gay person for being gay, but the gay person is not allowed to voice even a mild criticism of the muslim for being muslim. F that.

  • Claire

    Comments like “he’s definitely secretly a Muslim–he lied” “He’s going to implement sharia law” “He hates American” “Should I call you Barry Soetoro” etc….really, really don’t help to change the impression that PUMAs’ hatred of Obama is based on xenophobia or racism.

    Believe it or not, you can hate the guy without resorting to an assertion that he must be a Muslim bent on the destruction of America.

  • Elizabeth

    First of all, I’m not in the business of questioning or second guessing the belief system of anyone. It’s a private matter that can be completely divorced from his public actions as president. If his profession of Christianity is good enough a for Clinton and McCain, it is good enough for me.

    Second, on the atheism question, it is totally irrelevant to me where and how Obama’s spiritual compass is anchored, if anywhere. I’m only saying he looked to be surrounded as a child by an aetheistic family and not a Muslim one. The recitation isn’t all that surprising having lived in Indonesia. I speak Japanese and appreciate the beauty and mystery of their rites while citing a few prayer passages from memory. But I couldn’t be further from an Eastern religion practioner. It indicates nothing substantial about a person’s life principles and articles of faith.

    You are over-characterizing. The majority of posts focus on one main topic: the POS’s constant pandering. On any topic. Anywhere.

    Now with regards to Sharia law. Why is that not a intellectually honest conversation for people to have? Is it not an issue Europe is currently struggling with as their Arab population grows? Aren’t we seeing now in the US lawsuits filed by muslim workers against American employers over matters governed by Sharia law? And didn’t the Panderer nominate Harold Koh? There is nothing xenophobic or racist about a conversation regarding Sharia law in the US. You just proved the point of my previous point.

  • Hope Change and Unicorns

    Obama and his old lady’s spiritual compass seems to point to Black Liberation Theology with a dash of Islam.

  • C.S.

    I’m not sure which “parents who converted to Atheism” he could have been living with. By age two his Muslim father was gone from his life and by the time he was four or five (accurate dates are really hard to come by) his mother was married to Lolo Soertoro and they had moved to the Muslim country of Indonesia and Lolo Soertoro had registered Anne Dunham’s son as his child, Barry Soertoro, as a practicing Muslim.

    So he was living in a Muslim household in a Muslim country and, since Mr. Soertoro worked for the Indonesian government (and had to take the same sort of loyalty oaths we expected of Mr. Soertoro/Obama), it certainly would be dangerous for Lolo Soertoro to practice atheism even secretly!

    Whoever the guy in Our White House is, he either had already chosen a Muslim ideology or he was heading that way by the time he took his Pakistani trip during a college break and while Pakistan was on a U.S. travel ban in the early 80s. (It has been said that his ease of entry was probably because he was traveling on an Indonesian passport rather than a U.S. passport.)

    If we had demanded as much information about Soertoro/Obama as we did Governor Palin’s family, we wouldn’t be in the embarrassing position of hearing this selected president telling the world that everything we stand for he doesn’t believe in.

  • candymarl

    I don’t know. But Obama was the one, during the general and the primaries, that made a big deal about his opponent(s) releasing their records. Then why not release his?

    A letter from a doctor is not the same as actual medical records.

  • C.S.

    Maybe Soertoro/Obama was referring to the 19 Muslims that changed the geography of New York City and their legacy of hate that has shaped our lives since that September day in 2001. You know, the security, the searches, the spying on our correspondence and phone calls, the lost billions guarding against the next Muslim “lesson” they wish to impart to We the People. That’s the only “contribution” I can think of.

  • Elizabeth

    First off, his stepfather, as I understand the rememberances from friends and neighbors, was much more of a free thinker than a pious Muslim (not that Ann would have married a devoutly religious man of any faith).

    So whatever Obama was formally registered as or forced into school under for four years as a child is not a good barometer for me of how his home life was structured. And certainly not a window into the beliefs that were socialized into adulthood. What it comes down to is a highly nontraditional upbringing in a very irreligious environment.

    Blast from the past regarding use of the midddle name in questions

    source: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2007/12/why-did-bob-ker.html

    Why Did Bob Kerrey Mention Obama’s Middle Name — ‘Hussein’?
    December 16, 2007 9:19 PM

    Some Obama supporters have asked why former Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., who endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., today, mentioned her opponent Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s middle name in remarks published in The Washington Post. (LINK)

    “I like the fact that his name is Barack Hussein Obama, and that his father was a Muslim and that his paternal grandmother is a Muslim,” Kerrey is quoted as saying. “There’s a billion people on the planet that are Muslims, and I think that experience is a big deal.”

    Obama supporters see this in the same light that they see Clinton strategist Mark Penn’s remarks on MSNBC’s Hardball (LINK) — that, as far as former Clinton campaign co-chair Billy Shaheen’s remarks about Obama’s youthful drug use, “the issue related to cocaine use is not something that the campaign was in any way raising.”

    Too clever by half, they think.

    A clear attempt to raise an issue while pretending not to raise it.

    Same thing with the “Hussein” middle name?

    Reached on the phone Sunday evening, Kerrey said that’s not at all how he meant it.

    “What I said was an answer to a question,” Kerrey said.

    He’d been asked by a reporter from the Omaha World-Herald about the fact that the Clinton folks are hammering home the idea that Obama has little experience, while both Obama today and Kerrey in 1992 ran for president in their first Senate term.

    “My answer was yes, but I finished third in the primary. Obama’s smarter and more talented than I ever was, and he has two things which are connected to his life experience that give him special capacity,” Kerrey recalled. “First, he is African American and can speak to underperforming Black youth in a way that no other candidate can. He gave a speech in Selma that was incredible (LINK), that no white person could ever give. No government program could ever do what Barack Obama can do.

    “Second,” Kerrey continued, “his name is Barack Hussein Obama. I know that middle name is seen as a weakness by Republicans, but I don’t think it is. I think it enables him to speak to a billion Muslims around the world.”

    Kerrey said he’s spoken to Obama and his staffers and told them to “lead with it as a strength. There’s this nonsense out there about him being a Muslim Manchurian candidate. He should do a commercial, look the camera straight in the eye, and say, ‘My wife Michelle and I are Christians, but my father was a Muslim and my paternal grandfather was a Muslim, and that fact and my name means I can speak to a billion people around the world” who need to hear from the United States.

    Tennessee Republican Party Slams Barack “Hussein” Obama
    27 Feb 2008 01:34 pm

    On Monday, the Tennessee Republican Party dropped the H-bomb, adorning a press release with Barack Obama’s middle name, Hussein, and associated him the Muslim religion by running the 2006 photograph of the candidate wearing Somali tribal clothing.

    Here’s the first paragraph of the release:

    The Tennessee Republican Party today joins a growing chorus of Americans concerned about the future of the nation of Israel, the only stable democracy in the Middle East, if Sen. Barack Hussein Obama is elected president of the United States.
    Ostensibly, the press release was written to react to Louis Farrakhan’s Sunday endorsement of Obama.

    A Knoxville, TN newspaper reports that the Tennessee Republican Party stands by the release in its entirety on the grounds that it “has to inform the base” of Obama’s background.

    An RNC spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    The news media in TN is circling, though, ensuring that the story will remain alive for a while down there.

    Update: Condemnation from Sen. John McCain and Sen. Lamar Alexander.

    Update Part II: A “clarification” on the website now reads:

    This release originally referenced a photo of Sen. Obama and incorrectly termed it to be “”Muslim” garb. It is, in fact, Somali tribal garb, hence, we have deleted the photo. Also, in order to diffuse attempts by Democrats and the Left to divert attention from the main point of this release – that Sen. Obama has surrounded himself with advisers and recieved endorsements from people who are anti-Semitic and anti-Israel – we have deleted the use of Barack Obama’s middle nam

  • Katmoon

    just one more; with the caveat of confusion; and is there any wonder; damned if you do and damned if you don’t. There should be no tolerance of accusations of racism or anti-muslinism-when it is NOT the actual conversation ; most people on this blog for over a year have dealt with these remarks, when the questions were directed at the pathological lies told by O over and over again regarding, his religion, because of the Reverend Wright controversy IMHO. He was not forth coming about those years in Wright’s church, so why on earth would anyone assume a voter wouldn’t want to question the authenticity and sincerity of his religious beliefs, particularly when you are dealing with a country that was attacked by extremists distantly claiming to be related of a similar faith, in the last decade. to question isn’t being racist or anti-religion; it is called thinking. The conclusions only come when voters are told what they must believe; then here we are less 100 days into the presidency, and the veil is gone, the mask has slipped forever, and fellow countrymen and women saw their fellow citizens as intolerant because they questioned a candidate; who only now, secure in the catbird seat, reveals the truth. I call coward.

    Then there have been the speakers at McCain-Palin rallies who continue, unchecked by the candidates, to refer to “Barack Hussein Obama” – the emphasis on his middle name is an implication that Obama, who is a Christian, is Muslim. The latest occurred Wednesday in Pennsylvania, when Bill Platt, the Lehigh County Republican chairman, mentioned Obama’s former reluctance to wear an American flag lapel pin and said: “Think about how you’ll feel on Nov. 5 if you see the news that Barack Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, is president of the United States.”

  • Katmoon

    So if you said his middle name you were labeled, Republican, or racist, or hysterical. Yet if you did or were “allowed to mention his middle name, it must mean you were only a democrat doing your duty to support your candidate, because you would have only the purest of intentions (hork, and puke).
    The final jeopardy answer is. It was all a political slander against the voter who did not support O.
    so that they could be labeled and boxed and associated with anything that your own particular causes may fight against; there was a candy box to choose from:

    1.If you didn’t like his name=racist, and anti-Muslim as well as W2 supporting Republican

    2. If you questioned his religious beliefs- ala, Rev. Wright = you were racist, anti-black theology

    3. If you questioned his family background=racist

    4. If you questioned which name he had, when and why=racist?

    5. If you supported Senator Clinton-you were suffering from a “mandigo” style racism

    6. If you complained about lyrics of songs that were used, by him, or his campaign=racist.

    7. IF you questioned his service as senator

    8. If you questioned his education, health, or citizenship= you know the answer.

    9. If you simply did not agree with his policies

    10. IF tried to do your due diligence as a voter.

    I suppose we were to lay on our backs, keep our mouths shut, and not ask any questions? I say no, we have earned our right to have a purple thumb here, as well; for over 200 years; “Change” in word, must be followed up by an action. Otherwise, there is only talk, of the type that translates to having your views “corrected”, because you were faulty in not believing, without questioning.

    Obama ends Europe trip with tour of Istanbul mosque

    Apr 7 06:23 AM US/Eastern

    Obama Tours Religious Museums in Turkey

    Obama:
    U.S. ‘Is Not And Will Never Be At War With Islam’

    US President Barack Obama visited a landmark mosque in Istanbul on Tuesday, following strong messages of US reconciliation with the Islamic world on his maiden trip to a mainly Muslim country.

    Taking off his shoes as tradition requires, Obama stepped into the 17th-century Sultanahmet Mosque in the ancient heart of Istanbul, accompanied by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan amid tight security in the area.

    Two Muslim preachers guided Obama inside the grandiose edifice — better known as the Blue Mosque for its blue tileworks — and the president smiled when they showed him a dome scripture mentioning the Prophet Mohammed’s grandson Hussein, Obama’s middle name, Anatolia news agency reported.

    In a major speech at the Turkish parliament in Ankara Monday, Obama declared that the United States “is not and never will be at war with Islam” and called Turkey a “critical ally,” earning himself much praise in a country where his predecessor left the US image in tatters.

    “Obama conquers hearts,” the popular Vatan newspaper trumpeted on its front page, while the liberal Taraf said the speech marked the end of “the bellicose spirit of September 11.”

    Following up on his appeal for dialogue and inter-faith understanding, Obama met on Tuesday with Muslim, Christian and Jewish spiritual leaders based in Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city and the meeting point of Europe and Asia.

    He combined his visit to the Blue Mosque with a tour of the 6th-century Hagia Sophia church, a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture across the Islamic edifice.

    The church was converted to a mosque when the Ottomans conquered Istanbul in 1453, and was finally transformed into a museum in the 1930s, still featuring both biblical paintings and Islamic scriptures.

    Obama also met with university students before wrapping up his two-day visit to Turkey and his d㩢t trip to Europe later on Tuesday.

    A Turkish security official said a man was detained in Istanbul last week on suspicion he plotted to kill Obama. But police then established the man was mentally disturbed and released him.

    Since his election, Obama has already won significant popularity in Turkey, a NATO member and a key Muslim ally of the United States, and is keen to improve ties that chilled over the US invasion of neighbouring Iraq in 2003 and former president George W. Bush’s policies in the Middle East.

    A public opinion poll found in February that 39.2 percent of Turks had confidence in Obama, making him “the most trusted leader” in Turkish eyes.

    In 2005, only 9.3 percent said they trusted Bush, giving him only a slight lead over Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who had the confidence of 4.6 percent.

    On Monday, Obama hardened his message in support of Turkey’s bid to join the European Union, despite French and German opposition.

    Turkey and the United States, he said, could set an example to the world by building a “model partnership” based on democratic values, including respect for religious diversity.

    In more pointed messages, Obama called on Turkey to step up EU-demanded democracy reforms and broaden the freedoms of non-Muslim minorities and the restive Kurdish community.

    He urged normalisation of ties with Armenia, while signalling that Washington would not interfere in their dispute on whether the mass killings of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century was genocide.

    Obama’s decision to include Turkey in his first trip to Europe is largely seen as an effort to keep the country firmly anchored in the West.

    Turkey’s Islamist-rooted government has recently given rise to fears that it is drifting away from the West, forging closer ties with countries such as Iran and Sudan and welcoming leaders of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas in Ankara.

    Muslims did not invent algebra. Or Arabic numbers.

    c. 200 AD Hellenistic mathematician Diophantus lived in Alexandria and is often considered to be the “father of algebra”, writes his famous Arithmetica, a work featuring solutions of algebraic equations and on the theory of numbers.

    Oh, and that would be 200 years before the birth of Mohamed. Check out the algebra timeline. The Greeks and the Indians got there first.

    The major contribution to our modern math by Muslims would be Arabic numbers. But they were around before Mohamed too. And invented by the Indians. Hindu Indians, that is.

    The arabic numerals, or Hindu numerals (often capitalized) are the ten digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), which—along with the system by which a sequence (e.g. “406″) was read as a number—were originally defined by Indian mathematicians, later modified and transferred to North African Arab mathematicians and transmitted to Europe in the Middle Ages, whence they spread around the world through European colonialism. Today they are the most common symbolic representation of numbers in the world.

    So the next time you eat at an Indian or Greek restaurant, do be sure to thank them.

    Well, under Islamic law this

    ‘My wife Michelle and I are Christians, but my father was a Muslim and my paternal grandfather was a Muslim

    not only makes Obummer a Muslim in Muslim eyes, it makes him an apostate Muslim, which is punishable only by death. No shunning, no excommunication, just death. So the fact that his paternal ancestors were Muslim is more of a problem for the strict Muslims than it is a help. He is, in their eyes, an apostate. Bad news for everyone. Especially BO.

    Ellen D. excellent point. I can’t imagine how America can remain the same as our forefathers set forth, if we recognize Sharia Law in our country.

    True FLDemFem.
    The Greeks and Indians are responsible for the advancements in mathematics and the modern numerical system.

    When I lived in a predominately Muslim country in SE Asia a few years ago, that is what I was told that Muslim law was.

    couldn’t Barack also be related to the arabic word meaning “to bless?” (probably meaning something to the effect of “a blessing”).

    there are a number of arabic words stemming from this root; i am pretty sure that egyptian president hosni mubarak’s name is based on this same root. in any case, hebrew and arabic are related.
