4. actually, a very cool name
Barack, in Hebrew, means "lightning".
Obama, in Swahili means "sent by God".
How cool is that? ;)


(Whereas "Bush", in English, and every language known to mankind, means "F*%*ked by the universe")

8. What does "Hussein" mean? Is it family-tree name perhaps?( Lots of middle names are.)
Yet for 'some reason,' no one in mainstream media hasn't even questioned it, or attempted explaining it...just to 'clear the air.'

Yet if it were the middle name of Gore OR Kerry, quite a lot of Swiftboating' would've been smeared about it daily...by the truckload.

An explanation IS at least justified...particularly for those running for Leader of the FREE world. And ALL candidates should be treated EQUALLY in questioning each detail of their personal lives with TOTAL 'transparency.' Even "rock stars."

9. Hussein
means "good" or "handsome".

The explanation is that his father's name is Barack Hussein Obama. The Senator is Barack Hussein Obama Jr.

10. What an excellent point
In fact, let's find some baby pictures and ask him to explain why his parents dresed him in those funny little clothes. For that matter, he should also explain why his mother did or didn't breast feed.

After all, he owes us an explanation! :sarcasm:


:rofl:
