What's in a Name?

Some say the Obamessiah has no qualifications to be President. But from the point of view of moonbats, he actually has three: 1) he is a left-wing extremist who has spent his life surrounded by fanatics who hate America and everything it stands for; 2) he's mulatto; 3) his name recalls America's two worst enemies over the last decade, Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
No, Obama's name doesn't mean he's still a Muslim. But out of all the unqualified left-wing mulattoes out there, why did liberals settle on him? Because they like his name. If this were 60 years ago, they'd fall in line behind someone named Tojo Hidler.
Don't believe me? Here's some evidence:
Barack Obama's middle name Hussein has been used in some corners as a rallying cry to cast false aspersions against him, but in a growing movement, some of his supporters are adopting his middle name as a show of solidarity with the candidate. […]
"My name is such a vanilla, white-girl American name," Ashley Holmes of Indianapolis told the [New York Times]. She said she changed her name online "to show how little meaning 'Hussein' really has."
Ashley actually shows how much meaning "Hussein" really has. She doesn't like her own name because it's American. The name Hussein appeals to her because it represents the other — i.e., the enemy. This is Obama's appeal in a nutshell.
Does anyone think he'd have gotten this far if his name were Leroy Jackson?
