You're missing my point. My point is not that such pursuits are valid, it's simply that they are a normal part of the process. Obama isn't facing anything new here. It's a minor annoyance to be dealt with in a way that doesn't cater to a Politically Correct infringement on free speech.

Correct.
Go ahead and raise the issue of his religion. He is christian. That is not what people are doing. They are not addressing his religion. They are implying he is a religion that he is not by stressing his name. Childish and desperate actions if you ask me.

Score one for Wildalaska...that was funny
I agree. The problem is the overlap where PC spills over. I refuse to bow to the altar of PC, even if I don't respect what's being said.
Frankly, while I don't much care for Obama's policy ideas, I think this middle name issue is something he could turn to his advantage and additionally take the spotlight off the Obama-Clinton feud that's dragging him down with Hillary. If he poked a little fun at it himself, the issue would vaporize. Instead, he's gearing up for a Clinton-style negative campaign, which is a bad idea because he will be playing on the Clintons' home turf.

I don't care if they call him Charles Emerson Winchester III, his "vision" for this country is in direct conflict with my beliefs, lifestyle, and pocketbook. A scare tactic? His policy views scare the hell out of me. His name is just that a name.

Who cares? It's politics. Are you too dainty to deal with something so trivial? You act like somebody kidnapped his family. So Hillary says "Hussein." It's part of the guy. At least she's not making up stuff. Where were you when the Clintons were screwing the interns, their friends were turning up dead, and they were pardoning fugitive felons?
Saying "Hussein" isn't illegal, immoral, or false. It's just the guy's middle name. If you need a cause, save the whales.

There is an auction on ebay for a FAKE birth certificate for Obama where the winner can pick a new middle name. In the auction description, the seller makes the point...something like...
"You knew JFK and FDR. We don't want to have to call him B.O. do we? That stinks."
Personally I know he had nothing to do with the name he was given and I don't think negatively (or positively) of it. I don't agree with his views which seem Marxist to me. I think he should be judged only on his character, as MLK jr said so well.

Quoted by WildAlaska:
Know how it got so long? PM me and I'll tell you my dirty little secret...He,heee... Hint: It entails starting a thread about Huckabee, but ends up being anything but...
Now, off with my hypocrit hat and on with my tin....
I personally don't care that people use his middle name during discussions. However, my take is that most of the ones that use his middle name over and over again has the ulterior motive to "brainwash" the general public. I'm not talking about citizens that keep up with politics. I think they're targeting the general public that doesn't. This type of demographic (hope this is the right word) doesn't pay attention and whatever "evil" is said, they believe.

Ya you just can't heip but wonder if Barack is Saddams cousin.
Seriously why should it matter if Obama's father and grandmother are Muslims, I'm sure that wouldn't influence him.
Nothing else should matter except that he is for hope and change and he'll be the first African-American president! Thats ultra important, at least to some people.

Obama should be more worried about people running around calling him Obama Bin Laden who don't know that he has a first and middle name. I dunno for sure if this guy I work with was kidding about not knowing Obama's other 2 names but I think he genuinely did not know them.
