The Washington Post mounts its editorial high horse to denounce those who use Senator Obama's middle name "Hussein" when mentioning him.
WP: IT'S BECOME a fad among some conservatives to refer to the junior senator from Illinois by his full name: Barack Hussein Obama. This would be merely juvenile if it weren't so contemptible. "Barack Hussein Obama" is apparently taboo in their editorial stylebook, though I seem to remember John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Hillary Rodham Clinton being printed with some frequency. Lyndon Baines Johnson, anyone? It seems to me that middle names have become a rather prominent part of presidential nomenclature. Evidently the Post's editors think that only some middle names are permissible. I eagerly await publication of a definitive list of those middle names which can and cannot be printed.

Senator Barack Obama is the currently the media darling of the moment but it will not last. He will not be a player in 2008.
ReplyDeleteIf the Democrats nominate him, which they wouldn't, it will be one the greatest Presidential victories for the Republican in history.
In politics perception is reality and with regard to Obama he has too much personal baggage to be a geniune contender in 2008. Hilliary will make sure that he gets no political mileage from his persoanl life. Hilliary, on the hand, is immune from scandal because of the 1990's and her tour of duty in the White House. Conservative radio already sounds like a replay from that era, and it is a mistake they learned from that Americans don't want to hear it anymore and disapprove of the personal destruction technique.
Hillary represents the candidate that can raise hundreds of millions in campaign cash and is immune from scandal - that is the candidate to be scared of. Obama doesn't have that armour and probablily never will.
Obama can't win in the South (See the Harold Ford case study), can't win in the West with the exception of California; can't win in the Midwest except his home state of Illinois, which should be interesting since that is where Hilliary is from; can't win in the Northeast except maybe a few states at best.
Obama does represent something that could move America forward. His campaign may make America talk about a subject that clearly needs to be openly discussed, but then again Harold Ford found out the hard way.
To WHAT does "Dubya" refer?
