It’s just silly to harp on his middle name. He didn’t name himself, his parents did. This will just blow up on us like it did on Hillary if we keep trying to use it. Like Glenn Reynolds said, if Obama’s middle name makes him a Muslim, then Bill Clinton’s middle name makes him a strict constructionist.
Only if you believe that the "Jefferson" in William Jefferson Clinton was for Thomas Jefferson.
60 year ago in Arkansas, I'd bet the farm on that representing Jefferson Davis.
Oh come on, it isn't merely Obama's middle name that links him to Islam, it's also his first and last names, his paternal heritage and his early schooling. "Barak" was the last name of the former Islamic head of Egypt, and "Obama" is an African name from the region of Africa that is 99% Islamic, (Northeastern Kenya-Somalia). In his early years Obama attended Mohammedan schooling. Now it's easy for a politician to disavow his paternal heritage publicly, when it's politically expedient to do so, but as with every politician, one must look beyond his words and wonder what's in his heart. His Islamic name, first, middle and last, and his paternal heritage are fair game in these times of Islamic terrorism that we live in, imho.
