His chain smoking, his race, or his name, Barak Hussein Obama?
Each of those are a negative in some circles.
Since I'm a smoker, I understand that habit, my family looks like the UN, so his race isn't a problem, now that name, oooh, I might have a peoblem with that.

An objective observer would place his political beliefs ahead of anything you listed.

personally I think the largest thorn in his side will be a bunch of vitirolic red neck crackers, mostly from Texas and the Deep South.

Bravo, woiyo- Although I have not made up my mind about Obama, I certainly see him as a viable candidate. I find it reprehensible when someone attempts to circumvent vital issues by sticking in red herrings which have nothing to do with anything!

(At this point I have a strong desire to cast aspersions on the cast of characters of the present adminstration, but that would be the pot calling the kettle black. So I will keep my big mouth shut!!!)

Barak Hussein Obama? Laughing

Are you serious about his name?

Can you provide proof ?

Is he a Moslem ? Barak Osama ?

Glad to see somebody can see the humor in his name. I think he's Christian, not sure.

actually I have been to Texas and find it to be a wonderful state. It's just the majority of people living there that's the problem.

what does his name have to do with anything? he is a christian (though i don't care what religion anyone is), born and raised in the u.s. of a. and anyone with 2 brain cells will not judge anyone else just by his name. he didn't choose it for himself. shrug, who really cares.

Thanks!

Honestly, i didn't know his middle name.

To me it sounds like his original family name was a Moslem name.

(Mubarak Hussein Osama. The s dropped from Osama. -- Barak Hussein Obama. He's probably a convert.

Interesting...

I just heard his middle name this morning, thought it was interesting since it isn't a common name, at least not in the US.
Oh well, a rose by any other name is still a rose

No, I did not. I answered a question about his religion.
My point about asking ahy the poster brought it up is because he/she said it doesn't make any difference, if it doesn't, then why talk about it?

yes he is (Kicky's right: YOU brought it up). that's all. his father was from Kenya. There are some Muslims (6%), but mostly protestants (close to 40%) and catholics (around 30%). His father and mother both are protestants, as far as i remember. so his name is nothing more than a name. not every Hussein is a Muslim and/or terrorist.

Saying that i brought his religion up is a blatant lie!! However, you're the only one that has felt a need to explain it. Rolling Eyes

blatant lie? i didn't say you "felt the need to explain it" - just that you brought it up, which you did. Read your own post, one that you quoted just above.

you crack me up, LSM.
