Entire blogosphere has been talking about the U.S Senator Barack Obama because he is considering to run for the President. In popularity polls, he is second after Hillary Clinton. From Wikipedia:
“Recent opinion polls identify Obama as the second most popular choice among Democratic voters for their party’s nomination in the 2008 U.S. presidential election, after Hillary Clinton”
There was an article in Chicago Sun Times about his middle name; apparently his middle name is Hussein. Makes me chuckle really, I mean, isn’t that a Muslim name? Isn’t it Saddam’s Last name? Isn’t it the name of the Prophet Muhammad’s Grandson? Even though all that is true, he is not a Muslim, he is a Protestant following United Church of Christ. (source: wiki)
The question about him being a Muslim arose when a caller to C-Span asked if Obama was a Muslim. No he is not, Obama’s father was born a Muslim and that’s where the name comes from, he then I guess converted or just strayed away from Islam. So all you Islamaphobics out there, don’t worry.
Two reasons he won’t become the President if he is nominated:
1) He is African American. (why are blacks still referred to as African Americans?)
2) If you replace alphabet “B” in his name, he becomes “Osama”.
If you will look in this way his 1st name “Barack” is a jewish name (e.g. Ehud Barack)
