Blog about Barack Hussein Obama - BHO

Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is the President-elect of the United States, and the first African-American to be elected President of the United States. Obama was the junior United States Senator from Illinois from 2005 until he resigned on November 16, 2008, following his election to the Presidency. His term of office as the 44th U.S. president will begin on January 20, 2009.

The news has been out indicating that Obama will sworn in as the next president of United States with his full name as Barack Hussein Obama. However, having an Arab middle name doesn't mean Obama is a Muslim as he is a devoted Christian.

I predict that Barack Hussein Obama will soon become a blogging trend when more people are curious on how he get his Hussein middle name. Lefty bloggers, in full Obama rapture, point out that Hussein means "beautiful." One conservative observer insinuated that Obama, as a Christian with a Muslim name, might be marked for death by even our allies in the Islamic world, if they think he converted from Islam (for the record, he was never Muslim).

At inauguration, it will be Barack Hussein Obama: interview

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Barack Obama said in an interview with a US newspaper he will follow tradition and be sworn in as US president using his full name, including his middle name Hussein.

During the presidential campaign, some of Obama's political opponents referred to his middle name in an attempt to portray him as a secret Muslim with alleged ties to extremists.

But Obama, a lifelong Christian, told the Chicago Tribune that he would adhere to custom for the inauguration ceremony.

"I think the tradition is that they use all three names, and I will follow the tradition," Obama told the Tribune, which posted the interview on its website late Tuesday.

"I'm not trying to make a statement one way or another. I'll do what everybody else does."

His Republican rival John McCain reprimanded a supporter at one point during the campaign for referring to Obama by his full name, saying it was "inappropriate."

When endorsing Obama in October, former secretary of state Colin Powell criticized those spreading false rumors claiming Obama as a Muslim, saying it reflected religious prejudice.
