I stumbled on this over at the Conservative Voice, and found it more critical of the MSM than anything else.

“During 2006, we were treated to the bizarre need for Democrats to refer to Senator George Allen as “George Felix Allen” to highlight his Jewish heritage. Apparently, the left can’t abide jewish heritage in Republican Senate candidates and they felt the need to run huge profiles in the Washington Post about George Allen the Jew a/k/a Senator Allen.

But, while the left had this fascination with Senator Allen’s middle initial, don’t you dare discuss what the “H” is in Barack H. Obama. It will send Maureen Dowd into fits of apoplexy. CAIR will call for martyrdom operations against you. Braless Berkeley grads will accuse you of being a Zionist plant. Because to mention that the “H” stands for “Hussein” is fear mongering.

So his middle name is Hussein. Who cares? But the fact that efforts where taken to hide the fact is a bit interesting. Which is worse: That the media was concerned that the the name “Hussein” (as in Saddam Hussein) would cause a negative public perception, or the fact that they are probably right?
