Michelle Obama, who often has decried "the fear bomb'' that opponents have used against her husband for his middle name -- Barack Hussein Obama -- said in Canton, Ohio, today that it is happening again and shows why it's so important that he wins election as president.
"They threw in the obvious, ultimate fear bomb," Obama said today of her husband's 2004 Senate race. "We're even hearing [that] now. … 'When all else fails, be afraid of his name, and what that could stand for, because it's different.'"
The senator's wife said that rivals use innuendo to play on fears. "Just as they're saying it now," she said.
But, she told about 200 supporters this morning at a restored theater in Canton, Obama won despite that "climate of negativity and doubt" in 2004. "We learned, number one, that when power is threatened by real change they will say anything to stop it," she said. "But we also learned that the American people can handle the truth."
What America needs, she added, is a "fundamentally different kind of leadership," one that challenges people to be different, and better to one another. And that, she said to critics who say it is not his time, cannot wait.
"Barack Obama will be the kind of leader we need right now, not in four years or eight years or 12 years," she said. "We can't wait to get this right. We need it to happen today."

Shhhhhhhh! I want her to keep flappin' her gums.
No no no!
Let her talk!
She put “Hussein”, “fear” and “bomb” all in the same sentence.
People’s subconscious minds just went into warp drive!
Someone set us up the bomb
All your Hussein are belong to us.
LOL. Yeah she keeps them hidden on a shelf in their mansion.
While we are laying down rules, lets be clear. This requirement should end every rude title and name twist spoken by a leftist as well. Let's keep these rules evenly applied. McCain must stop with the a-hole name calling. Leftists must stop with the Hitler, Dubya, Bushie, idiot, racist names. On and on. While we are inhibiting people from expressing their views and even lack of respect for politicians, lets be sure we apply this evenly.
LOL
Rush played this clip...what a nasty woman!
Crap! The Muslims have a fear bomb? Those insidious bastards.
Funny, I thought it the factual bomb.
Thing with fear mongering is that if you overdo it, it numbs people and seizes to have desired effect.
That has a nice sound to it, kind of like that Richie Valens song, La Bamba. I bet someone could do something with that.
You do have a point! She is making him appear weaker...
Badabing...badaBOOM!
Somebody help me out here:
We want a President whose name is Hussein?
We want a President who is (supposedly) an Ex-muslim?
We want a President who is willing to cut and run from Iraq?
We want a President who is wanting to cut down our military?
We want a President who wants to cut our military budget?
We want a President who is willing to talk with our enemies?
Are we nuts or something? What the hell has happened to our people?
“Brarak Hussein Obama....gotta nice ring to it. I’m going to say it ALL THE TIME.”
Barak Hussein Obama was his father.
Barak Hussein Obama Jr. is his full name.
He is a junior.
I don’t think I’m alone in my deep dislike of Michelle Obama. She’s looks (and sometimes acts) too much like the black female activist that’s such a turn-off (think Cynthia McKinney or Maxine Waters or others). I have nothing against black women, but I do have something against radicalized black women who are actually racists.
The white comedian, Paul Shanklin needs to get a hold of this thought....
