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

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?

“A mind is a terrible thing to waste.” Obviously, the 19 year old Emily doesn’t care.

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.”

Just more proof that Husein supporters are one brick shy of a load.
