Why does Barack Obama shy to tell American that his full name is
Barack Hussein Obama?Do American mind Hussien?
Does he afraid Americans will think of Saddam Hussein
if he mention Hussein?Or he afraid people would think he is a Muslim?
''McCain condemns remarks on Obama''
Barack Obama's middle name is in honor of his grandfather, Hussein, a secular resident of Nairobi, Kenya
McCain was not happy others wanted to use Husssein
as topics.He was right and a gentleman.
It is naive to think that American voters is religion blind.

of he minds the name for both politcal and personal, i am not surprised if he doesn't ever used that middle name as an adult...it's a name given by his old man and since he feels no connection to him, he might as well reject it...just as lky refused to be known or reject the name harry which was given to him...

Republican presidential hopeful John McCain on Friday confirmed his choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his White House running mate, his office said.<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"-->DAYTON (Ohio) - REUPLICAN John McCain picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate on Friday, a senior campaign official said, in a surprise choice that could help him appeal to women voters.The choice of Palin, 44, will be unveiled later on Friday in a rally in Dayton as McCain grabs the political focus away from Democratic rival Barack Obama one day after Obama accepted his party's presidential nomination.
Mr McCain and Ms Palin will face Obama and his No. 2, Joe Biden, in the Nov. 4 presidential election.
The pick followed days of speculation about Mr McCain's choice, with most of the better-known contenders like former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney slowly eliminated over the last 24 hours.
Ms Palin is a conservative first-term governor of Alaska with a strong anti-abortion views and a record of fiscal conservatism. She is an avid sportswoman who would bring youth and vitality to the ticket. Mr McCain turns 72 on Friday.
Ms Palin is not well-known nationally, and that could cut into McCain's argument that Mr Obama is too inexperienced to handle the White House. But she could help him appeal to disaffected supporters of Democrat Hillary Clinton, who lost a bruising primary to Obama.
In his acceptance speech on Thursday, Mr Obama directly attacked Mr McCain and linked him to what he called the failed Republican economic policies of President George W. Bush.
Ms Palin, former mayor of the town of Wasilla, built a reputation as a reformer in a state that recently has been hit with corruption scandals. Elected in 2006, she is Alaska's first woman governor.
Ms Palin and her husband, Todd, have five children, ranging in age from 18 years to 4 months. -- REUTERS
