Barack Hussein Osama . . . Er, Obama's Stupid Name

Allahpundit is afraid that some of us on the right will continue to 'very stupidly' refer to Barack Hussein Osama's middle name . . . well I gotta tell ya, it is just very hard to get around the most unfortunate name held by a presidential candidate ever. I mean, his name is just one letter off from containing the names of America's two greatest enemies since the end of the Cold War. That is some weird karma going on right there.

Just ask Ted Kennedy how hard it is to wrap your brain around that name - he kept referring to Barack as 'Osama' just like Mitt Romney did. Maybe it's just that peculiar Massachussetts accent. Or the chow-dah.

B.O. should have changed his name to something a bit less ethnic and more anglo-american, like say . . . John Wilkes Booth, perhaps. Osama Obama could have then avoided this embarrassing misuse of the race card: “But I have no doubt that there will be some of that, trying to make me into this foreign, you know, odd clearly black - person. And to scare people.”

Um . . . Osama bin Laden isn't black, really, but don't let that get in the way of a great narrative.
