whats sad is that roughly 70% of the population is probably subconciously deterred from supporting obama just because conservative talk show hosts are now only calling him by his full name(which is fine, just not when they have an agenda to influence the weak minded).

I guess you're the judge that determines that listeners of conservative talk show hosts are weak-minded.

Bush has taken a bashing for almost 8 years now, including "Dubya" references using his middle initial which were made to look him outlandishly Texas-redneckish. If people have problems with anyone repeating his middle name as Hussein, they should take it up with his parents.

The mention of Obama's middle name is no different from Cheney implying that if the Democrats won the election, there would be another large-scale terrorist attack in the U.S. Politics of fear intended to influence the ignorant voter.

from a foxnews poll


Who is Usama Rooting For?

Who does Usama bin Laden want to be the next president? More people think the terrorist leader wants Obama to win (30 percent) than think he wants Clinton (22 percent) or McCain (10 percent). Another 18 percent says it doesn’t matter to bin Laden and 20 percent are unsure

It was meant to create the caricature of him as a bumbling Texas redneck, and the media types (late night comedians, Maureen Dowd, "That's My Bush") who had no problem with creating that "negative association" now are up in arms over this one? Hypocrisy.
