Obama's middle name
You know, now that he has been elected, I hope that he fully uses his middle name to diffuse the notion that it is a bad thing. Huessein is my physician's name and many wonderful Americans carry this name.

I understand completely why it had be downplayed a bitduring the election, but I think it could of great help to end some (certainly not all) prejudices now.

5. Obama is too smart to "shove" his middle name all of a sudden down a sensitive America's throat
Even he has often poked fun at his own middle name in a good natured way, so I doubt he's going to flaunt it much, just because he's President now. He isn't going to run from it either of course.
