"I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear..."

Well, it is his name. I mean, if his name happened to be Barack Bigbird Obama he'd have to say that too, right? I don't see the big deal.

I find it funny that so many American's have an issue with a president who has a Mid-Eastern middle name, when the majority of those people are Christian, which is a Mid-Eastern religion. (Despite that many of them like to forget that fact.)

Why is everybody "harping" on this man's name? It's very annoying. I'm trying to figure out the reasoning behind pointing out that his name says Hussein. I served in the United States Army with someone with the last name Hussein and he was by far no threat to us. People need to find something else worth talking about. Let's talk about world hunger, domestic violence, child abuse, and unemployment.

By the way, what is so important about ruling a ountry,is it the name or the ability that someone has to head the country, am confused.why is everyone concern about Obama's middle name, will it have any impact on the American citizens or world. people should stop thinking about the names, better think of tomorrow. OK.

I don't think it will make anything "big" , Moslem people may not claim that Hussein is Moslem word it may be universal word specially in Arabic country , in my country Indonesia we have many non Moslem use this word as a name of a person , So for mr.Barack Husein Obama ,don't take any care about this isssue the most important thing you have to proof thatyou can give a good things for USA and the rest of the world specially to recover American worst face/reputation in front of the people in this planet which have been put by Mr.Bush in the last 8 yrs worst.Tq
