Obama Supporters Take His Middle Name as Their Own
New York Times ^ | June 29, 2008 | JODI KANTOR

Posted on 06/28/2008 7:39:37 PM PDT by kingattax

Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student from Fort Thomas, Ky., gave herself a new middle name on Facebook.com, mimicking her boyfriend and shocking her father.

“Emily Hussein Nordling,” her entry now reads.

With her decision, she joined a growing band of supporters of Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who are expressing solidarity with him by informally adopting his middle name.

The result is a group of unlikely-sounding Husseins: Jewish and Catholic, Hispanic and Asian and Italian-American, from Jaime Hussein Alvarez of Washington, D.C., to Kelly Hussein Crowley of Norman, Okla., to Sarah Beth Hussein Frumkin of Chicago.

Jeff Strabone of Brooklyn now signs credit card receipts with his newly assumed middle name, while Dan O’Maley of Washington, D.C., jiggered his e-mail account so his name would appear as “D. Hussein O’Maley.” Alex Enderle made the switch online along with several other Obama volunteers from Columbus, Ohio, and now friends greet him that way in person, too.

STUPID Libs probably think that TAKING the name is the same as a legal procedure.

I wonder how many German mothers named their little baby boys Adolf and later regretted it.....Gotta hand it to BO, he has got them fooled and eating out of his hand. Mighty slick until these college kids (supposedly) better understand how socialist, one party systems work and their freedoms diminish. Dumb as dirt.

You really cannot make this stuff up any funnier than the Obamaniacs. What’s next...shoe polish on their faces? A cigarette dangling from their lips?

I thought Odumbo didn’t want anyone using his middle name. Or, was it McCain who didn’t want anyone using Odumbo’s middle name? Maybe McCain should have a word with these misguided “youths.”

At least in the FLDS cult you get to marry as many teenage girls as you can handle. What could you possibly be the draw for the hussein cult?

no, don’t blame it on JSM - it was the RNC who issued that edict, wimping out again.

Numerous Freepers have posted the chart of the popularity of the name Hillary! for new babies, and the decline of its popularity as the Klintoons’ reign wore on. There is nothing new under the sun.

Shocking her father?

If it was my Dad, he’d of cut off my money for college, as well as my internet account, then told me “Hussein” could pay for it.

If you contrast these pampered idiots with the ones their ages in Afghanistan and Iraq right now, you’d have to just scratch your head and ask what their parents’ have contributed to their educations (or lack of one).

Many, and continue to be. btw, thank you SO much for all the sacrifices you and your child are making for keeping our country safe. (It’s working, and that’s why you don’t hearing anything on the “news” lately.) We appreciate it very much!!!!

Oh, I have no doubt. There are at the very least two flamers in that group--perhaps a third.

Imagine the people who named their little darling Britney and then discovered that Britney was insane trash, for starters.

There’s a reason buildings are not usually named after living people. Parents would do well to ponder that fact.

Thank you for your kind words. At the present time my son is on his way to Georgia (via a visit to his in-laws in Florida) where he will be changing his duty assignment to a training unit. He’ll be training new soldiers at the training facility in Georgia. This unit is non-deployable and he’ll spend the next several years there.
