The appeal to bigotry and fear about Barack Obama's middle name is going to keep on popping up from the reddest reaches of wingnut politics. This is their idea of a burning issue.
Obama needs to embrace his name something like this:
My name is Barack Hussein Obama. Just as John McCain is nothing like serial killer John Wayne Gacy, I'm nothing like Saddam Hussein. If your name is Adolf, you're not another Hitler. If you're Joseph, you're not another Stalin. Pope Benedict is not a Benedict Arnold. Eugene McCarthy was nothing like Joseph McCarthy. And, while George W. Bush is a lot like King George III, it's not because of his name.
Lather, rinse, repeat, and wash those Drudges right out of his hair.
Of course, the wingnuts will simply move back to "mistakenly" saying Osama for Obama. Every time they do this, the Obama campaign should ask:
Why is it that Osama is not already captured or dead?Every damn time.

need we remind you, it was Billary
and her campaign staff who first took shots at Obama middle name. It is Rodham isn't it?
Uh, no, have you forgotten already how often this has come up in the past from Republicans and wingnut media?
