There's often mention of some talk or writings by some right leaning commentators about Barack Obama's middle name. Recently a radio talk show host Bill Cunningham made some press by repeatedly referring to Barack Obama as Barack Hussein Obama. Others have referred him to as "B. Hussein Obama." It is done to emphasize the fact that Hussein is an Arab (Muslim) name.
I must warn my fellow conservatives that this is a horrible strategy. (Who this warming will reach is questionable at best). What subsequently happens is that Barack Obama defends his middle name and lambastes the xenophobes on the right.
The end result is the debate gets shifted away from Barack Obama the left wing, tax loving, socialist, who is so strongly pro-abortion that he voted against the Induced Infant Liability Act which would have protected babies that survived late-term abortions (an act that even NARAL didn't oppose). It gets moved to sanctimonious defense of a man's name, that wasn't chosen by him. Barack didn't pick his name or where he was born, but he can pick his philosophy and religion. His philosophy is one of extreme socialism. His religion is a non-denominational Christian (as far as Hillary knows), and attends a very Afro-Centric Church. His Church's "non-negotiable commitment to Africa" is fair game for discussion. The leader of United States should be focused on America.
A final thought is the question of would you not support Barack Hussein Obama if he was a devout pro-life Christian, who supported the economic principles espoused by Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, and Friedrch von Hayek?
