Barack Obama and News Media Hide His Middle Name
December 05, 2006 12:03 AM ESTby Jim Kouri - From Erick at Redstate.com comes this tidbit about liberal superstar Sen. Barack Obama. It says more about the media than about Sen. Obama:
"During 2006, we were treated to the bizarre need for Democrats to refer to Senator George Allen as "George Felix Allen" to highlight his Jewish heritage. Apparently, the left can't abide jewish heritage in Republican Senate candidates and they felt the need to run huge profiles in the Washington Post about George Allen the Jew a/k/a Senator Allen.
But, while the left had this fascination with Senator Allen's middle initial, don't you dare discuss what the "H" is in Barack H. Obama. It will send Maureen Dowd into fits of apoplexy. CAIR will call for martyrdom operations against you. Braless Berkeley grads will accuse you of being a Zionist plant. Because to mention that the "H" stands for "Hussein" is fear mongering.
In a Washington Post editorial during January, 2007 the question of his middle-name was put to rest. They wrote that anyone who used his middle-name was a racist. Case closed. That's why I refer to Obama as B?O.
How about Barack X or BXO...because his middle name was stolen by Sadaam.
