what is in a name?

What is in a name? Barak Hussein Obama —What do they really mean by that? I want to start by stating that I am not an Obama or a McCain supporter. But since he announced that he would be running for president, a segment of the American population started digging into his background, being a Black guy running for president- to find out that his name includes “ Hussein”. That is all they need to charge against him. So when these right wingers, fundamentalists so called Christians and their supporters caught on this “ Hussein” thing, they started to use it a against him. So what do they really mean when they invoke “ the “ Hussein” thing. What they mean is this: Hey, listen Osama, You live with us, but you will never be one of us. So what does that mean? Does it mean, if you are an American citizen for generations and hundreds of years, and you happened to have an Arabic, Moslem or African name, or even Hispanic: now you don’t qualify to be in politics, you don’t qualify to run for office
