Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa): Obama 'bizarre' to use 'Hussein'
After telling the Associated Press last year that Obama’s middle name was among the reasons Islamic terrorists would rejoice over his election, King says he’s since been careful to avoid using it. Thus he found Obama’s decision to allow it be mentioned on the steps of the Capitol “bizarre” and “a double-standard.”

“Is that reserved just for him, not his critics?” King asked.

The congressman says he doubts Obama’s sincerity when he explained that he chose to use his middle name so as to be historically consistent with past inaugurations, when America has heard the full names of its presidents echo from the inaugural stand.

“Whatever his reasons are,” King said, “the one he gave us could not be the reason.”

2. King, you dumb piece of shit, there is a difference using Hussein to attack.
If you can't see the difference, we should go back in time and force your mother to abort your sorry, pathetic little soul.

5. Well, Rep. King's middle name is "Arnold"
maybe we can use that to link him to Benedict Arnold.

16. +1 The press in Iowa needs to pillory him for that. Over and over.

20. I hope Obama...
crams his middle name down the throats of these racist, xenophobic assholes for the next 8 years. Maybe it'll get through their heads that, you know, 99.9% of the Husseins in the world are decent human beings rather than 99.9% of them being terrorists or dictators (which is what the bigots assume).
