Michelle Obama: name Hussein is 'the fear bomb'

I personally don't agree with the use of his middle name because there is enough other things, like his record, to attack him with.

However, my understnding is as a boy he went by the name Barry and then as he entered manhood starting using his Barack because he was proud of his roots. Fair enough. Isn't part of his roots his middle name, so why he is ashamed of it. After all, he had the middle name long before Saddam was creating havoc in the Middle East.

Finally, I believe John McCain was born in 1935. What if he was given the middle name Adolph? Hitler wasn't just a small despot in Europe. How much do you think the left and probably the MSM would be making sure every American knew that fact?

"NET NEUTRALITY SPEAKS"

She Said! He Said! Name game, Plame Game!

Is this the "QUIET BEFORE THE STORM?" Mr Veep!

All Americans have a last name, a middle name. All Americans name their children as they choose fit!

HRC, BHO, He Said, She Said.

MAYBE THIS IS ALL "PNAC" SAID" and all those he said, she said last first, middle and last names.

Long live Madame Speaker Pelosi!

People, this is how it works in the twisted minds of the Republican fear and smear mongers whose candidate, (R) John McCain/Bush, is running on this very same tired platform of offering us nothing but fear itself...again.

A nutty lunitic fringe Republican makes a crazy unfounded statement about a Dem candidate (this time Senator Obama) and then the Republican candidate (McCain) comes out and denounces it thus making himself become not only the benfeciary of the sleazy attack on the Dem candidate but also "appearing" to take the "high-ground".

Don't fall for it again America, don't let the Republic Party trick you into effectively giving George W Bush a third term by voting for McCain.

Obama should always appear on stage with American flags behind him, and every Sunday he should attend at least two churches so the footage gets out...Democrats often don't do these things, and end up losing...a guy with a middle name of Hussein needs to take action.

ter, he's not ashamed of his middle name. he's ashamed of the state of the republican slime machine that can't seem to run an election anymore without the party henchmen swimming in the mud.

Isn't the guys middle man Hussein? Should we all pretend his middle name isn't Hussein? What the heck is that witch, Michelle Obama talking about?

Not to oversimplify this..but what's in a name?
When it comes to our Countrys Presidents we always use the full name.
George Herbert Walker Bush,
William Jefferson Clinton,
John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
Richard Milhous Nixon,
James Earl Carter.
For crying out loud, I'm tired of the rules that have held out over many decades being subverted because Obama is running for President..look what happened to Dog Chapman when he used a derogatory word in a private phone conversation.
The P.C. police came out swinging. And now this.
Toughen up America and stop making mountains out of mole hills.
Get some thicker skin, this "po-me, po-me" victimization platform has become quite tiresome.

Remember that Clinton went to aBlack cChurch every Sunday when running.

@ Terry -

Um, he's not ashamed of his middle name. He just doesn't generally use it, like most Americans.

After 8 years of President Obama, Hussein will be very much an American name.

10 cautionary tales to remember before we settle for Obama
Posted by Cassy Fiano

A lot of people seem content to just resign themselves to an Obama presidency. Well, newsflash folks, Obama's presidency is not inevitable, and it isn't likely to be just another "Carter presidency". It isn't likely to give us another Reagan, either -- great leaders like don't come around every four years. I'm not going to lecture anyone right now about supporting McCain, but I do want to remind people of just what we'll be getting into by settling for Obama. Here's a refresher on the problems we have with Barack Hussein Obama, the most liberal senator in the United States Senate:

The man Obama calls his mentor is a known communist. A President with Communist leanings: exactly what this country needs!
Obama refused to hold his hand over his heart during the National Anthem. The Flag code states that all should put their right hand over their heart during the National Anthem when the flag is also displayed, except those in uniform. But don't question his patriotism or anything.
Obama also seems to have a problem with wearing a flag pin because to him it's "unpatriotic". But, you know, he LOVES his country and all.
Obama wants us to pay 845 billion dollars to help the U.N. "relieve global poverty". We, the taxpayers, will of course be the ones to pick up the tab.
Obama associated with 1960s violent anti-war radicals, including some whose acts escalated to terrorism.
Obama supporters can't even name a single thing he has accomplished.
Obama is a Che Guevara fan -- you know, the Cuban murderer that liberals like to celebrate.
Who can forget Texas State Senator Kirk Watson, an Obama supporter who couldn't name a single legislative accomplishment during Obama's short time in the Senate?
As President, Obama is promising us 850 billion dollars in new spending, 850 billion of which will likely be wasted.
8 things you should know about the relationship between Obama and Tony Rezko.
Feel free to reproduce these links -- apparently we need to be reminded of just what it is we'll be getting with an Obama presidency.

I find it interesting that though many might fear the name Hussein (as in now deceased Saddam), if I remember correctly, wasn't our biggest and most respected US ally in the MidEast also named Hussein, as in King Hussein of Jordan..? Unfortunatley, he is no longer with us but his legacy is certainly more positive than Saddam's. Perhaps we should remember King Hussein when we hear or read that name!

Republicans? It was Hillary and democrats that brought up his name in 04 and now! Please! Obama aint got a choclates chance1 Thank god!

You paranoid libs are a joke, just like the two losers you are running. Conservatives don't have to do anything, just sit back and watch them pick each other apart. We spent 50 years fighting communism and now you libs want to put a commie in the White House. You will fail!

So, what's in a name, anyway?

Sooner or later, the news cycle will get around to finding out more about Obama. And his middle name won't matter. You can't hide forever behind the NY Times slanderings of McCain, this middle name stuff, and McCain's birthplace. Sooner or later, the truth will come out...

Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Richard Milhouse Nixon
Ronald Wilson Reagan
William Jefferson Clinton

Most Presidents are known by 3 names, why is Obama afraid of his own, and why is it a problem to use it?

Oh this is great...the Obamabots are crying foul, dirty tricks, shame on you, blah, blah, blah. Do you guys have anything else to say? B. Hussein Obama won his senate seat in Illinois by a fluke (the opponent who would have beaten him quit the race) and everybody hates Hillary. Oh yeh he's got it rough. Barry O. offers nothing but hot air, higher taxes, and economic implosion. Yeh, that's real change...back to the dark ages!! But oh yes, its change. Maybe he'll put his real life experience as a drug pusher to work...the rest was spreading BS in a college...which is still the same thing. He's so inspiring, I think I'm going to faint.

Funny, the guy who used his name refers to Mcain as John Wayne Mcain...Clinton aS Hillary Rodham Clinton.But oh gawd, please dont say Hussien...I dont hear anyone else crying foul. I watcht he news and I hear them refer to Bill as William Jefferson. Ive heard them refer to Bush as George Walker. etc. Its his NAME !!

Shelly Obama seems to have an awful lot of pent-up hate in her.

Hopefully, this campaign is good therapy for her hatred.

She acting an awful lot like Terry Kerry in 2004.

Excuse Me, but I think Michelle Obama should not assume that all Americans have the same thoughts as she does.
For instance, FEAR NEVER NEVER entered my mind when I heard that her Precious Barack's middle name is HUSSEIN.
She is the one that must be AFRAID!!!! AFRAID that he won't be elected because of his name.
Now if that offends her, so be it. She offends me by saying I am FEARFUL!!!!

You should either better screen the comments on this site or cut this feature; most of these people are undeserving of a public forum.

To the moron John E. Let's get this straight, this middle name controversy was initiated by the Clinton campaign. The allegation that McCain cannot be elected President is straight from the DNC. Get your facts straight!

There is a falsehood in one of the comments to this story. Barack Obama sang the national anthem without putting his hand over his heart, just like most Americans do at a baseball game. That is what that picture shows. Barack Obama not only pledges allegiance to the Flag (with his hand over his heart), he has led the Pledge on the Senate floor.

Here is a link to Youtube video of Barack Obama saying the Pledge of Allegiance in the Senate:

http://www.barackobama.com/factcheck/2007/11/12/obama_is_a_patriot.php

Whether he's ashamed of being named Hussein or not doesn't change the fact that he's a lying anti-American weasel.

So his name is the reason why he should win Mrs. Obama? So your husband's polices are not good enough to get him elected?

A lot of people are talking negatively about Middle Easterners. Where do you think you get your precious OIL from to drive around in your "TOYS"? HOW STUPID to judge a whole category of people because of some radicals among them!!! Personally, I wonder if an all-knowing God didn't just make sure they were given most of the oil just to show the ALMIGHTY United States that WE DON'T RUN THE WHOLE SHOW!!!

For 7 yeard I've been hearing liberal commentators use the name "Dubya" to disparage George W. Bush (the "no W" stickers and every classless term they can use). I find it very ironic that the two leading canditates for the democrat party have the combined middle names of "Rodham Hussien". Suddenly, when the shoe is on the other foot, we should be sensitive? You may think its "fear mongering", but I think it's just funny and will continue to use it. After all we could be calling him just plain "B.O." But I think I'll reserve that term for his political beliefs.

"Obama won despite a climate of negativity and doubt on 2004."

Funny I don't remember that.

My recollection is that the Chicago news media unearthed damaging divorce information on his formidable Democrat and Republican rivals and he waltzed into the Senate seat against a laughable carpetbagging opponent, amid a chorus of news media Hossannas.

Part of the danger that Democrats face is that this candidate has never been seriously vetted in a serious electoral campaign.

I am convinced that Americans will not put Barack Hussein into the White House,
unless McCain says something crazy like, "If I win, we're staying in Iraq and there will be wars for a hundred years."

Barack Hussein Obama has to use his whole name, just like other big names, because Barack Hussein Obama is part of American history.

To criticize anyone for calling Barack Hussein Obama by his name is just plain silly.

IT IS HIS NAME!!!

John Sidney McCain III

There. I've said it again. And again. And again.

I feel better.

My own middle name is Bruce. They would love me in Scotland, but I'd be toast in England.

Sidney? What sort of perverted parents would give a child "Sidney" for a middle name?

Apparently it runs in the family.

My civics is a little weak but I believe there are 435 representatives, 100 senators, a supreme court, etc. who all function in the government of the United States. If Obama is elected there are checks and balances, this is the beauty of the American system. There is also impeachment (the Clinton's should be experts). No one man or woman can bring this wonderful nation down, only the will of the people to allow themselves to be dominated will cause a nation to fall.

As President, Obama is promising us 850 billion dollars in new spending, 850 billion of which will likely be wasted.

What do you know, another Rethuglican smear merchant has crawled out of their cave to show us how stupid he/she really is.

Feel free to reproduce these links -- apparently we need to be reminded of just what it is we'll be getting with an McCain presidency:

Let's say we are the right-wing attack machine and our target is John McCain. What shall we say about him? Here's a sampler:

How can we trust a person for President when his own staff question his fidelity?

Can we believe in anything Sen. McCain promises when he says he's against lobbyists but he surrounds himself with lobbyist advisers?

How can McCain run for President--he's not even a natural-born American--he was born in the Panama Canal not in one of the 50 states.

McCain can't run on family values--didn't he meet his current wife while still married to his former wife?

How healthy is John McCain? Can we have a President who can't even show himself under the sun because he might die of skin cancer? (I know this is low, but hey, I'm pretending to be one of those SOB swiftboaters)

Does Sen. McCain feel laws apply only to others and not to himself? So others shouldn't be influenced by lobbyists, but he can. Others should obey campaign finance rules but he's exempted? others have to follow the Constitution with regards to the 'natural-born' citizen rule but he doesn't?

Is Sen. McCain a war-monger? Will he bring the country into another senseless war? Sen. McCain should denounce his making fun of bombing Iraq when he sang "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb Iran" to the tune of the beach boys. Does Sen. McCain look so poorly at peace?

If you think Mitt Romney was a flipflopper, Sen. McCain is even worse. First he was against the Bush tax cuts for the rich, now he's for it. He was against torture, now it's okay with him. He asked the attack-dog radio host to demean his opponent then he denounces the guy for doing what was asked of him.

Can Sen. McCain control his temper? if he flares up just because a voter asks him a hard question, how can he face world leaders who disagree with him?

Does Sen. McCain know enough about economics to solve the countries economic problems? When Sen. Ron Paul asked him a complex question, McCain's answer sounded like he was running for Miss Teen USA. Can we have another President who doesn't understand the basics?

Feel free to add more, Cassy Fiano!

Oh please Michelle Obama is the same person who calls white people the "White Oppressors". You cant have it both ways honey. While I htinkit is stupid to call out his middle name it is just as stupid to say that white people are oppressors and that this is the first time you are proud of your country in your entire life. SAhe is not doing Obama any favors. SHe is coming off bad.

Obama, his wife and his preacher. I fail to see anything of value to this Country from any or all three of these people. I trust that real Americans will learn all they can about these three before it is too late. Now they are trying to say that McCain is not a citizen since he was born in the canal zone.
That will not wash, No mater where your military parents are stationed, their children are US Citizens regardless of which Country they are born in.

Obama, like most on the left, want to change our capitalist system to socialism, a system that destroys the will of people and their desire to be independent. It is a system of government which has failed everywhere you look. Fortunately, the vast majority of Americans reject the notion of socialism and Obama, as nice a guy that he is, will discover that in the general election.

Finally, I believe John McCain was born in 1935. What if he was given the middle name Adolph? Hitler wasn't just a small despot in Europe. How much do you think the left and probably the MSM would be making sure every American knew that fact?

Posted by: Terry | February 28, 2008 8:41 PM

If his name was John ADOLPH BENITO TOJO McCain, it doesn't make a frigging bit of difference, you doofus! John McCain is John McCain, and it's still a 3rd-Grade mentality to think his MIDDLE NAME somehow magically turns him into something he's not. If he was John JESUS CHRIST McCain, he wouldn't be able to turn water into wine, and he won't resurrect the sanity of the Republican party either. Was Bill Buckley the LAST of you people with an ounce of intelligence? Is THIS what you're left with?? Really, really sad.

"After 8 years of President Obama, Hussein will be very much an American name."

That's what I'm afraid of.

To the moron John E. Let's get this straight, this middle name controversy was initiated by the Clinton campaign. The allegation that McCain cannot be elected President is straight from the DNC. Get your facts straight!

Posted by: John S. | February 28, 2008 9:46 PM

To the moron John S,

Your team (GOP) lost all credibility when you swiftboated John Kerry in 2004.

It's called KARMA, Wingnuts, and it's a bi*ch!

Julie - got any videos of him saying the pledge with his hand over his heart from BEFORE he started campaigning for president? didn't think so.

I guess no one was watching the Oscars Sunday night when John Stewart said this;

"You have to give Barack Obama credit, he's overcome a great deal. Not just he's an African-American. Barack Hussein Obama is his name. His middle name is the last name of Iraq's former tyrant. His last name rhymes with Osama. That's not easy to overcome. I think we all remember the ill-fated 1944 presidential campaign of Gaydolf Titler. It's just a shame, Titler had so many good ideas. We just couldn't get past the name. And the moustache."

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON is the right President for America.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA can't even tell the truth about his real name.

The REZKO trial will start on March 3, 2008. Hopefully - the REZKO trial will tell the truth about the relationship between REZKO and OBAMA. America deserves to know the entire truth.

Enough already! In your ignorance you are already claiming a mysterious sliming machine started by Republicans is responsible for bringing the "Hussein" bomb to the attention of the public. Well, now get over yourselves you ill informed gormless(look it up) foils. It was no one other than Senator Bob Kerrey who is a Hillary supporter who used the "H" bomb in the first place. It was your former president Bill Clinton who brought race into the equation, not a Republican.

And to set the record straight for those who still suffer from the blame Republican disease, the Willie Horton issue was brought up first by your tree hugging former Vice President, Al Gore. If you don't believe me, get off your collective butts and check it out for yourselves or is that asking too much for who will drink the kool-aid if asked by sycophants like Barack Hussein Obama and his wife who is so proud to be an American at long last?

Why don't you people get a life and stop trying censor free speech. The man's middle name is Hussein. If he doesn't like it, he can darn well change it. But then he wouldn't have another straw man issue to beat us over the head with would he?

For seven years we've heard Bush called everything from Hitler to Chimp to you name it from the panty wetting liberals. Not once has Bush reacted in a negative or defensive fashion. Such class. So, why are so many of you panty wetters so upset now? Huh?

John E: Is that John Edwards.
why are you defending the boy wonder? he will not pick you for a VP. And I don't think he is dumb enough to pick hillary
unless he just wants to ask vince foster what really happend in person.

HEY JOHN E, when do you get your check from the Obama campaign???

It's obvious you are a paid poster...its seems pretty obvious where your pay would be coming from, BUT maybe it could be coming from that FARAKamaniac?

Enquiring minds want to know..HA HA HA

All of this is silly. Of course, Obama has to use his middle name because it IS part of his full name and part of his personhood as he strives for the most important job in the world. If he cannot deal with it or others cannot see beyond it, both have already lost the vision. "What's in a name? That which is called a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

It's his middle name. GET OVER IT!!!

Let's concentrate on the fact that he is totally unprepared to be president.

And check this out. He sold out Americans to appease Canada...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAJYMgX4JuU

Lets see... a true American War Hero whose integrity and commitment to the USA is impeccable versus a Communist-loving, inexperienced unknown quantity...yeah, thats a real tough choice for President of the USA!

Bob; facts are facts...you can't say it's not the TRUTH!!!

Let's thank Bill Cunninham...no let's thank John McCain for this interesting blog. Oh...it will always be Barrack Hussein Obama...his momma said it..I'm saying it.

I'd like to know where Hillary's middle name came from. What is a "Rodham," anyway? (spelled right?)

So what his middle name is Hussein. Big deal. If Obama is smart, he should always introduce himself as - hey I am black, my last name is Obama, not Osama...and yeah, my Middle Name is Hussein...so attack all you must, just make sure you get the facts right - I am Barrack Hussein Obama...Not Barry Osama, Not Hussein Obama or Hussein Obama..Ok...next question...

as for people blaming the slime on Obama comes from the Republicans...mind you that the first people talking about his middle was the democrats...Bob Kerrey (D Sen. from Nebraska), supporter of HRC, kept on repeating his middle names in news interviews..that was way way before the Bill Cunningham gig.

Karl Rove, "The Architect" warned Republicans during an interview on Hannity and Combs, that efforts to underscore Obama's muslim heritage will backfire and will create the impression that the Republican Party is bigoted.

Obama, like most on the left, want to change our capitalist system to socialism, a system that destroys the will of people and their desire to be independent. It is a system of government which has failed everywhere you look. Fortunately, the vast majority of Americans reject the notion of socialism and Obama, as nice a guy that he is, will discover that in the general election.

Posted by: RT | February 28, 2008 9:59 PM

People, this is your American government under the Bushie/McCain Republicans:

B. Hussein Obama
B. Hussein Obama
B. Hussein Obama
B. Hussein Obama
B. Hussein Obama
B. Hussein Obama

This is fun...I can keep this up all day. All of you libs are so thin skinned...your afraid of a name. I don't care anything about B. Hussein Obama's name, but his ideas were pulled straight from The Communist Manifesto. What, does that make you mad too...using the word "Communist?" Have any of you so called "intelligent" libs actually read the book? It's obvious why you guys hide behind the government and Political correctness to "equalize" society so you don't feel like a bunch of useless geeks. Get a life!

Ralph Nader to the rescue of all this nonsense.

I'll use Ditka's quote:

"If I had run for Senate, nobody would have ever heard of Obama."

Thank God I was able to move out of Chicago to Texas. I can now afford to live and not deal with the moronic Left.

Im tired of the White guilt.
His middle name is Barack Hussain Obama. I don't want this man as president because of his muslim past. It will affect how he deals with foreign leaders period.

Do you Republicans realize how hateful you all sound?
And you want everyone to believe that you are the God loving party? Such hyprocrites.

mohammed barack hussein obama
The thing we have to worry about is what the koran says about lying to your enemies. If it is to further your agenda its cool with old mohammed

WOW. I can't believe that this website is actually letting conservatives post...All of the CNN's and MSNBC's etc etc won't post even the softest retorts to the Democratic ravings. All I can offer here is that most of the obama "followers" will be highly disappointed come election time to find out that most of them were too lazy to actually vote. I guess living your entire life on Gov't cheese will do that to you. Oh, maybe it will be that non-existent latin vote ( how many CAN vote?) Can't wait until november, see ya'll then...

In a world where it is an established fact that "Radical Islam wants us Dead", can we logically elect someone named after Mohammed's (PBUH) son as president of these United States? Anyone concerned is not a bigit, but a digilent person. We can not choose to facilitate a road to capitulation!

John E. questions McCain's ability to control his temper. Not controlling one's temper is not near as bad as not controlling one's sexual appetite. Eh, Mr. Bill?

Well John E how can we trust someone whos own staff questions his fidelity. Another dem rewriting history. Remember that man of honorble fidelity named Clinton. You Dems trusted him for 8 long years while he embarrassed the country and got impeached. You gotta be kidding. Now his socialist wife wants us to believe we should trust her. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton & Bush all used their middle names. Maybe if Obama used his without hiding it, the stigma associated with it would go away. A banner behind him with his full name would be a good start.

Have the Obama's ever responded to any criticism / challenge / attack with any substance? It seems like all they do is attack the messenger, ignore the issue being raised, and speak in ridiculous platitudes about this "real change", how "we are the change", etc. Great, what exactly are you going to change about the world, and exactly how are you going to do it? Perhaps the media will get around to demanding these answers at some point before November.

And given Senator Obama's African heritage, it is quite possible that as President we will see the end of the genocide in Darfur. If that were to occur, what would you Right Wing wack jobs say? As for Senator's Obama's assertion that if he recieved actionable intelligence that al Qaeda in Pakistan was preparing to attack the United States and the Pakistanis were not willing to cooperate, he would authorize an attack on Pakistani land? Well, he doesn't sound like a "Left Wing Islamo fascist loving panty-waist. I guess McCain goes one better by singing "Bomb bomb, Bomb bomb Iran" to the tune of "Barbara Anne."

While we're on this website Senator Obama is out taking care of business...we can banter back and forth 'til times get better and it's not gonna make one bit of difference!!! Can't you right wingers see this country is headed for a THIRD WORLD STATUS??? What's the matter...are you just mad because it's not just ignorant people supporting him???

If someone does not want to be known by their middle name Hussein, then they could change it to something like Christopher. Every place you go, you are recognized by credit card companies, SSN, banks, government offices, etc, by your full-name your First, Last and yes, your middle name. Often when people convert to another religion, they do change their old religious name for a new one more in keeping with who they are.

I sure hope that Barack Hussein Obama and / or Michelle Obama doesn't play the race card if the nomination / election doesn't go their way. We don't need Jesse or Al to give us another lecture. "Can't we all just along" Rodney King

Why is Barack Hussein Obama ashamed of his name? Ever hear of Omar Bradley. Omar Nelson Bradley, General of the Army, was certainly not ashamed of his name even though Omar was the Second Caliph of Islam.

"Do you Republicans realize how hateful you all sound?"..........

FYI, go to any liberal forum and you will see more hate and stupidity than you can imagine. try dailykos or democratunderground, then see what a hypocrite really is.

His middle name he didn't pick.

But it's still true that he's an empty suit–sorry, Senator, but the presidency isn't an Affirmative Action job and your resume's a little thin.

A certain body of voters will respond to the association of B. Hussein Obama's middle name to something they fear and wish to vote against.

Get over it.

Convince the rest of us this paper-thin collectivist dreamer has anything to offer against a distinguished combat veteran and universally-respected 20-year veteran of the US Senate.

I'm....waiting....

Who's afraid of HUSSEIN!?! What that DEAD guy? The guy I saw gettin' hung on You-Tube? Puh-lease. Will ALL the people with an IQ that matches the tire pressure on a rednecks boat trailer kindly refrain from involving themselves in political discussions. This is REALLY starting to get low brow.

HEY JOHN E, when do you get your check from the Obama campaign???

It's obvious you are a paid poster...its seems pretty obvious where your pay would be coming from, BUT maybe it could be coming from that FARAKamaniac?

No, I work for the American people and we're trying to take our government back from the FASCIST REPUBLICAN "LEADERSHIP".

How do I know that John McCain is not a foreigner who is trying to take over the American government from the inside and start a war with Iran? afterall, he was born in Panama..

He's seems to be very friendly with American business interests too...Hmmmmmm.

Media Matters Has the Facts on McCain's Lobbyists
http://mccain.bravenewfilms.org/blog/30873-media-matters-has-the-facts-on-mccain-s-lobbyists

Media Matters just posted a very thorough piece on McCain's lobbyist ties, complete with gems like these:

Lobbyist fundraisers. Two of the co-chairmen of McCain's national finance committee were registered to lobby Congress as of year-end 2007 (the latest disclosure data available), and a third previously lobbied Congress. Another co-chairmen is one of Florida's "most powerful lobbyists" (St. Petersburg Times, 10/1/06).

Lobbyist advisers and staffers. At least 24 McCain staffers or advisers were either registered to lobby Congress (as of year-end 2007) or were previously lobbyists, according to a Media Matters review.
The report goes on to dissect the media's love with "the straight-talking maverick." The mainstream press has tried to paint McCain as the anti-lobbyist candidate, but as HuffPo political editor Thomas Edsall reported, the McCain's campaign has "11 current or former lobbyists working for or advising McCain, at least double the number in any other [presidential] campaign." And this just scratches the surface...

McCain has surrounded himself with lobbyists at every level of his campaign.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama must be the only person on planet Earth with the name Hussein who isn't a muslim. Please. But, we'll never know anything about Hussein Obama as the Press will not report on him, so all I know about Barack HUSSEIN Obama is what HE tells me! I'll give the man credit though, he knows that Blacks are America's Sacred Cows, and the Media is afraid of saying anything negative about Blacks. HUSSEIN is riding that fear all the way to his party's nomination.

Funny hearing Liberals calling Republicans haters!

Liberals hate everything there is about American. They hate the rich, the military, Big Oil, meat eaters, hunters & guns, tree killers, etc...

The only thing Liberals don't hate are the illegal mexicans and the terrorist. Let's talk to the terrorist and play spin the bottle with them. They'll love us for it.

Michelle Obama said that she never liked America until few months ago. She has hatred in
her heart but wants to be first lady, she does oppose using the name Hussein, but
her husband's middle name is such. She is a hypocrite.

There are so many bigger problems in the world and in our country; I cannot believe there is actually a discussion about middle names or first names or last names, for that matter. This is America, where the retched refuse of other's teeming shores come to have a better life. We should be thinking about who could be the best leader, who would garner the respect of world leaders, and who could work best in a bipartisan fashion.

Why is a bitter, angry, militant, virulent, America-hating leftist like Michelle Obama ashamed of her husband's name?

No, Psychic Scream is the ultimate fear bomb.

"...are you just mad because it's not just ignorant people supporting him?"

Are you saying ignorant people are supporting Obama as well as, uh, the more intelligent people like you or Minister Farrakhan?

Bush attacked Obama today. This alone probably earned Obama atleast 100,000 votes for the General Election. Keep it up, Curious George and you will be handing Obama the keys to Air Force One.

Actually RT, Obama is trying to Save us from the FASCIST SYSTEM That REPUBLICAN Cheerleaders like you AND Spelling Champ Terry have hoisted upon America the last 7 1/2 years.

Speaking of being a "champ," hey John E., looks like your going for the gold. You probably don't even know what a fascist system is...either that or you've spent so much time with your head up of Obama's @#% sucking in the socialist party juice that you just can't wait to spend all day in line comrade, getting your Obamacare, Obamabread, and Obamanews. Why don't you try pulling your head out...oh wait, no leave it there...your using oxygen.

This should calm and reassure you Right Wingers. David Duke stated that Obama wouldn't be any worse than John McCain or Hilary for President.

In a way I hope Obama wins. I say this becuase what it will draw out will be the trojan horse agenda of the socilaist liberals. they will take away more freedoms than you think. I seriously pray for a civil war in this country. the white middle class is being assualted by the democratic party, and this evil Michelle Obama, whom is the second coming of winnie mandela. yes white males, the flaming tires around our necks are coming. But hey there is no chance of reconciliation with the white middle class, you have targeted us for attack, and trust me you better be ready to fight, I have no problem firing on liberals whom want to take from me and my culture anymore. i do hate you people with a passion.

RT;Good catch... I had to laugh at that mistake myself...but I think you know what I meant!

Give me a break.
I am proud of my name. A very good friend of mine has the name Adolf and is proud of it.

Who is Barack Obama?

U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born
in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM
from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from
Wichita, Kansas.
Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two
years old, his paren ts divorced. Hi s father returned to Kenya. His
mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.?
When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocate to Indonesia. Obama
attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a
Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is
quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also
attended Catholic school."
Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that
that he is not a radical.
Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this
influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned
to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.
Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim
terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since
it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major
public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined
the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim
background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he
DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.
Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor
will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands
over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential
candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside
out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the
President of the United States.

This is exactly what the Left wants -- all you sheep, focus on the use of a man's name, or what his wife wrote her thesis on, or whether he said the Pledge ... just whatever you do, don't pay attention to the fact that if EITHER Dem is elected they will surely take every cent they can out of the pockets of average, middle class Americans and give it to other people -- both in the States and around the world. If you think the economy is bad now, wait until an even larger chunk of your paycheck is gone before you even see it!

Hey I think a lot of male republicans have something "running down their legs" for Sen. Obama. Afterall, Hussein does mean "The Handsome" I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to "hit that". Hey Obama is pretty and sexy.

I understand :)

John E.: FYI, our system of government is a republic. Perhaps someday you will be old enough to cast a vote in our system.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama must be the only person on planet Earth with the name Hussein who isn't a muslim. Please. But, we'll never know anything about Hussein Obama as the Press will not report on him, so all I know about Barack HUSSEIN Obama is what HE tells me! I'll give the man credit though, he knows that Blacks are America's Sacred Cows, and the Media is afraid of saying anything negative about Blacks. HUSSEIN is riding that fear all the way to his party's nomination.

I'm afraid of crazy old man McCain taking over our government with his slimey big business friends and that's why I'll be voting for Senator Obama..

Don't let the Republican fear and smear machine (see above post) bother you, people, just remember what happened the last time (2004) when they "swift-boated" John Kerry and we got stuck with four more years of the disasterous. Chimpy McBush Presidency.

"McCain's Unlikely Ties to K Street
32 Lobbyists Bundle Funds for Longtime Critic"

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) took a break from the presidential campaign trail in March to fly to a posh Utah ski resort, where he mingled with hundreds of top corporate executives assembled by J.P. Morgan Chase for its annual leadership conference.

McCain's appearance at the Deer Valley event, arranged by J.P. Morgan Vice Chairman James B. Lee Jr., a top McCain fundraiser, put him in a room with the chief executives of companies such as General Electric, Xerox and Sony. It was, Lee said, "a chance for him to let them see him for who he is and possibly decide to support him." The effort paid off: J.P. Morgan executives have donated $56,250 to McCain's campaign, two-thirds of which came after his Utah appearance. And his visit there was quickly followed up by dozens of smaller private meetings with corporate executives in New York City arranged by leading Wall Street figures.

"We tried to get him around to a lot of those kinds of things," said McCain campaign manager Rick Davis. "We were very much in the friend-making business."

It is common for politicians to court big money during a campaign. But private schmooze sessions such as the gathering in Utah pose a particular dilemma for McCain, who has spent a long career decrying "special interests" and politicians who offer special access to them in order to raise money. As a presidential candidate this year, McCain has found himself assiduously courting both lobbyists and their wealthy clients, offering them private audiences as part of his fundraising. He also counts more than 30 lobbyists among his chief fundraisers, more than any other presidential contender.

McCain has consistently fought in the Senate against pork-barrel spending from such interests and championed

McCain is a huge hypocite and VERY unfit to be President. He promotes war, is cluless on economic policy, and has flip flopped more than Kerry and Romney put together.

John McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, and yet he said "I'm the only one the special interests don't give any money to."

there is no such thing as a former Muslim. Either he is only pretending or he is an apostate and marked for death. If a Muslim leaves the faith it is the duty of all Muslims to kill him. His father and grandfather were Muslim and he went to a Madrassa. He is Muslim. If he leaves the faith of Islam, he must die. All Muslimes know this. Why are they silent? Because he has not really left the faith, he is only fooling the stupid American Infidels.

Speaking of taking money out of our pockets, how about the fact that foreign countries are buying up real estate, etc. left and right...they practically OWN US ALREADY!!! Don't try to lay THAT on Obama!!! And we'll be in hock to China until THE END OF TIME ON THIS EARTH!!!

For the people who d
