Look at this nice message from President Barack Hussein Obama
Friend --

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don't want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.

We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack

:loveya: Mr. President!

1. Why the "Hussein" - a last dig?

3. You don't get it. It's not a dig AT ALL. Why shouldn't we be proud of every
part of his heritage, including his "foreign sounding" whole name?

I know, I know, the Rethugs wanted to make an issue of it. Tough. We don't have to swallow that garbage.

I think Barack Hussein Obama sounds WONDERFUL.

They said it with disdain, we say it with pride.

7. I completely agree with you!
He will be sworn in as "Barack Hussein Obama" and we should all be proud and glad to have this small blossom of progress bloom in our lifetimes. President Barack Hussein Obama! Sounds good to me!

I was not sure what was meant by the OP. I am the biggest fan of Obama. I listened to every one of his speeches, went to Manassas VA to attend his rally, donated to his campaign, voluteered for him, and my dog was hurt for wearing a BarkObama T-shirt - so please don't bash - I don't deserve it.
