How often do you use your middle name?
I only use my middle initial on official documents.
(as for Hillary - Rodham is her maiden name, Diane is her middle name)

The only problem is with the intent.
And the intent in using his full name seems to be to subtly remind people of the bogus rumor that he is Muslim, because the name is so obviously Muslim.
But being named "Barack Hussein Obama" doesn't make a person Muslim any more than being named "John Paul Christian" make a person a christian. It says more about the parents beliefs at the time the baby is being named.
Even then, a man can be an atheist & still chose to name his son after himself, therefore naming his son "John Paul Christian."
And Obama was named after his father - but his father was out of his life before he was out of diapers!

50 thousand Texans with the middle name "Adolph" wonder why that's such a big deal.
That name is like "Smith" or "Jones" in the English language.
NeoCons that use the middle name are implying that he has a connection with Saddam Hussein.
And of course, just start juggling Osama bin Laden, Saddam and Barack and say "They're all the same!"
That's what people with an IQ of ZERO do.
It's been long proven that Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden hated each other.
And Obama is not a Muslim. He's a Christian.

Americans never use their middle names that much. The only reason it's George W. Bush is because we had to keep him apart from his dad. But come on, why would they hide the middle name? Barak and Obama aren't normal names either and they sound just as Muslim and foreign as Hussein.

Do you ever hear anyone's full name?
Generally people are called by their first & last names only.
It's Hillary Clinton or Clinton.
John McCain or McCain.
Mike Huckabee or Huckabee.
It's just common practice.
And why does his middle name matter anyway?
He isn't a Muslim like everyone always says.

It doesn't roll off the tongue easily. It's no secret what the man's middle name is, it's just that almost nobody ever cares enough about it to bother rattling off the whole thing.
Besides, the only people that ever call you by your full name are our mothers; and when they do, you can bet we are some deep doo-doo....

I think it is simply becuase we are to lazy so say his whole name. No one really cares that he shares the same name as an evil dictator that was taken out of power. He has alot of real flaws that need to be address before anyone should care about his name.

It is not wrong to say it.. I think, we should say it over and over.
Maybe that way we will get used to it and not have negative thoughts when we hear it.. It is only a name after all... it will be the man who will have to prove himself.
