    Unfortunately you get a "what is this guy trying to say" from the real conservatives.

    VERY TRUE, and the guy you have your other steak bet with is the only one I know that doesn't believe the clinton clan is capable and willing of taking drastic measures to get what they want. If I were mr obama I'd have LOTS of security. LOTS. And I'd be very afraid. People on the wrong side of the clintons usually end up on the wrong side of the dirt.

    You caught them. Damn! They just managed to get Teddy out of the way with a death ray that causes brain tumors and now you have revealed their secret plans to place Kryptonite in Obama's flag pin.

    Damn, you're good. :lol:

    Simple.
    His last name makes him sound like an evil dictator from the Middle East. It almost sounds like he could be related to the guy. Hussein, much like Hitler is not a good thing to call someone. It has become a curse word.

    Also, since it is his middle name, that means the name Hussein was "given" to him. Which almost makes it seem as though maybe the name was handed to him as a way of "honoring" Saddam (even though Barack was given this name more than a decade before Saddam became a recognizable name globally).

    Right or wrong, because of this name, he will always draw that "connection", which in no way can be considered a positive thing.
    It is no different than if you met someone named Dahmer or Manson. You would automatically think of Jeff and Charlie, even though there may be ZERO other similarities other than just a name.

    I know a family of German extraction. The favorite jolly uncle of theirs was named "Uncle Adolf". Some time around 1940, he became "Uncle Benny". :grin:

    Obama should have Jindalized himself and changed his name . Barry O' Bama would have landed millions of Irish votes. :grin:
