The Obama campaign has released a recording (mp3) it says came from a Nevadan's answering machine of an anonymous robocall that criticizes Obama for taking money from special interests while repeating, four times, his rarely used middle name: "Hussein."
"I'm calling with some important information about Barack Hussein Obama," the call begins, before saying that "Barack Hussein Obama says he doesn't take money from Washington lobbyists or special interest groups but the record is clear that he does."
After mentioning his full name once more, the call concludes:
"You just can't take a chance on Barack Hussein Obama."

Federal Trade Commission: “Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop most telemarketing calls, but not all. Calls from or on behalf of political organizations, charities, and telephone surveyors are still be permitted.”
LOL. I really should have known that.
LOL. I really should have known that.
I agree
You can dial their number and have your telephone number dropped which I did.
Why is reminding people that Obama’s middle name is Hussein a bad thing? If they are trying to draw some comparison to Saddam Hussein, I thought the latter was a sympathetic figure now. After all, he was deposed by the evil Christian war monger GWB. I should think it would be a benefit for people to know Obama’s middle name is Hussein!
Enough of the sarcasm... Though sadly to too many voters, America really is the bad guy.
Political calls are exempted from the “do not call” rules.
I seem to remember Democrats repeatedly making what they saw as negative use of George Herbert Walker Bush’s middle names.
facetious, not sarcastic, no?
The Rezko lot wasn't accessible from the public street. However, it abuts Obama's property and provided a private preserve that adds to its ambience. Obama bought the Rezko property for $104,500 -- $520,500 less than Rezko's wife paid for it.
This is an error. Apparently Obama only bought 1/6 of Rezco's adjoining property. That is why he only paid 1/6 of the price. The overall deal was a conflict of interest but you could say that he paid a fair price for the extra strip of land. Of course a seller not beholden to Obama probably would have charged more, but not 6 times as much.
