No, he should go RAGE RAGE RAGE'in on that fgt who kept calling him "Barack Hussein Obama", trying to make people think he's a muslim.
It's his f***ing middle name, it's not like he just made up the name.
John Sidney McCain III
Michael Dale Huckabee
Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton
Ronald Ernest Paul
Maurice Robert "Mike" Gravel
Willard Mitt Romney
.....
Barack Hussein Obama
If you don't think he said it specifically to make people think he's muslim, you're out of your mind.
If Obama really wants to disarm any implications of the name Hussein, he should just be up front about it. He could explain to people that Hussein is about as common of a family name as Smith.
Then.... He could also point out that being Muslim does not disqualify someone from running for office. He could explain that he personally is Christian but that, even if he or someone else was Muslim and running that it wouldn't matter.
In short, he could make the prejudiced feel guilty for even implying that a Muslim candidate would be disloyal as a leader (thereby winning the small Muslim vote in the process).
