Seriously? You have nothing better to complain about?

The gist: Sheriff dude calls Obama by his full name. That's it. And people are QQing over it. Nationally QQing over it, what is WRONG with people?

[Drex]

lol that's my hometown, and it's nothing surprising to me. They'd probably start riots over a semi-truck driving by too loudly.

Also that sheriff's not too well liked down there iirc, so that may be another part of it

[Tricen]

He's ganna be re-elected in November. So I doubt he's not liked.

[Demosthenes11]

I've started calling Obama BHO. It's really funny seeing hippies faces when they ask what BHO means

[Day]

Yeah it really is hilarious, I mean a knee slapper. Gut buster even. I'm dying here. Can't wait to try it again.

[gandorf]

LOLFLORIDA. That is all.

[Correction]

Let's start referring to Florida by it's full name. Goddamn Motherfucking Florida. I'll write it into speeches.

[Alleya]

Needs video. Usually when people say the full name they say (barrak) HUSSEIN (obama).

[Xno Kappa]

It's just a way for the McCain campaign to instill some pseudo-xenophobia onto voters because he knows people are retarded.

[Jones]

I think his name is very American in a sense. It embodies the idea that one can build their identity here in America without the bonds of their traditional heritage. You can have a Buddhist name Patrick O'Leary or a Muslim named Flower Rainbow Unicorn Puppiehugger. Each man or woman has the freedom to create their own identity if they have the motivation to do so. I apply this same principle to the American Dream, with the key word being motivation.

That said, I'm sure there could have been ill intent with the use of his full name. But if I were Barrak, I'd just counter it by using my own full name in the debate tonight, regardless of what my cronie pollsters advised.

[Correction]

They sure are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaxECcTjCuw

This is who people are talking to when they say Barack Hussein Obama. Saying it's 'just his middle name' is disingenuous. Politicians never do anything without a reason.

[Day]

Yeah cause people walk around using everyone's full name all the time right right? No one would ever have an agenda for using someone's middle name that happens to be Hussein right.

And there are retards out there that will fall for this and we all know it, that's why it's cheap and a lame ass move. I'm sure George Hitler that works at Bath and Body Works is working on his gas chambers as we speak... gfdi people are stupid.

Edit: wasn't directed at Correction, more at OP.

[Dimmauk]

I think its fucking stupid that his middle name is a big deal. So every Hussein in the world is a terrorist or a dicator? I guess everyone in Oklahoma city is afraid of anyone named Timothy?

[Beckwin]

The only plausibility for repeatedly using Obama's middle name is scaremongering because of it being Saddam's last name/a common name in the arab world; virtually no other public figure is so frequently addressed by their full name- not Joseph Robinette Biden or John Sidney McCain or whatever the hell Palin's middle name is (I think she has two middle names).

not to mention it's usually said "Barack HUUUUUUUUU-SAAYYYYNNE Obama" in front of a crowd of rednecks.

[Tyche]

George dubya....

It's not full, but it's become cliche to use his middle initial...And it's usually said with the southern slang I tried to enunciate through text. Both sides are guilty of stupid shit with middle names.

Random weird dude at the end. But yeah, definitely sounds like some sort of scare tactic to goad people into not voting for Obama.

[Beckwin]

Tyche, the man's father with same first and last was also president. gimme a fuckin' break. Saying Barack H. Obama wouldn't even be an issue; it's just roll off the tongue awkwardly which is why no one says it.

[Dimmauk]

George dubya....

It's not full, but it's become cliche to use his middle initial...And it's usually said with the southern slang I tried to enunciate through text. Both sides are guilty of stupid shit with middle names.

how is that the same? They call him W. cause he has same name is his dad who was president.

[Tyche]

It's not the initials or his fathers name...don't be naive, it's the intent. They wouldn't say "dubya" if that was the case. They use "dubya" as a pot-shot to the intelligence to the president, his accent, and the intelligence of his constituents (stereotyping the south). They use Obama's full middle name because of fear association. It's not the same thing, but both have very poor intentions.

[Dimmauk]

I'm Texan and we say "Dub-ya" cause thats how we say it.
