Maybe Mongoose should start up a new thread especially for anyone who wants to spout every ignorant conspiracy theory that's been floated about Obama, from the "birthers" to the "death panelers", to the people who still believe Obama is Muslim, to the people who claim he's a "racist", etc.

And by the way, since you've chosen to use it Mongoose, what exactly motivates you to refer to Obama as "Barack Hussein Obama"? And keep in mind that we're not idiots, so just saying "well that's his name, isn't it?" is probably not going to be accepted as an honest answer. Obama himself doesn't generally go by that full name, and no one aside from his most fervent opponents refer to him by it, so realistically, it probably has nothing to do with just being thorough in identifying him. I know that in most cases, the name "Hussein" is raised in a blatantly transparent attempt to make him sound scary to people who are predisposed to being afraid of Muslims and various other middle-easterners (oddly enough, many of whom also do happen to have racist tendencies), but I really do want to know what your personal reasoning is behind using it.
