'I, Barack Hussein Obama, Do Solemnly Swear...'

I think he should use the name he was born with, and that can be found on his birth certificate.....

It makes no difference to me whether he includes his middle name or not, but it enraged me that people referred to his middle name during the campaign as though it were a disqualification.

The election is over. He will solemnly swear using his full given name:

Barack Hussein Obama.

It will be a beautiful moment, fulfilling much of the American promise of equal opportunity for all.

Why people can't mind their own busines? Using his father's name is up to him to decide. I think he should be left alone.
Even former President Bill Clinton did not used his father's last name. His father's full name is William Jefferson Blythe III. Instead he chose to use Clinton name in high school.

Don't judge people by their names.
There are many Chritains in the world today who use HUSSEIN name.
Huseein simply means : good

What difference does it make if he says his full name or not?

US Muslims assimilate?? You haven't been to Michigan lately

Reagan didn't say his full name when he was sworn at president. Also Jimmy Carter didn't either.

I think Obama will just say "Barack Obama" just as Reagan said "Ronald Reagan" and Carter said "Jimmy Carter".

Barack Hussein Obama did not have any choice in the name he was given.
it was just that given to him.
and he probally did not have any problems with it until he ran up against a bunch of bigots.

he should use all three of the names he was given.

i think he will use all three of his names.
and is it a big deal if he does not?

The name that is called out during the ceremony has nothing to do with how well the job will be served.

i mean think about it?

I, George W. Bush-and look what we got.

so, yes he should say Barack Hussein Obama and live up to those names and serve this country for the good of all the people.

"Hussein" isn't a Muslim name but it is actually Arabic. Muslim is a religion but Arabic is a location.

Jake, you need to be EDUCATED.

This Man is a contridiction in all aspects, even himself.

What he beleives in, his polices, issuses and even his name.

*sigh*

I hate to tell Obama that the secret is out. We all know your middle name is Hussein. We won't forget what it is. That should have nothing to do with whether you use it or not. If you like hyping the talk about racism in general then don't use it, but don't think that Americans will forget that it is your name just because you don't use it. That is stupidity at it's worst.

I think he should use it. After all, it equates to 54M Americans one of the reasons we did not vote for this Hussein in an American suit anyway. We need to keep the questions in the public eye. Question every move as to the underlying motive and not give in to his deception. Impeach Hussein before it is toooo late.

"and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States"

They all take that oath. All of them. Think about it.

I'll place a bet. He won't use it. He doesn't want anyone to remember it.

I did not vote for Barack Obama- in fact, I ardently opposed his election but it had nothing to do with his race , his religion, or his name; I was doubtful that his stated policies would help to fix the ills of our great nation. I have never attacked him on a personal level, nor shall I.

Having said that, he has the right to be sworn in to office by whatever combination of his legal name that he chooses and as the 44th President of this nation, he deserves- and commands- the respect of ALL Americans, as well as all freedom-loving people of the world.

I may not have voted for him, but he will have my prayers and support every day that he is in office- no matter what name he goes by!

Actually, to me, it won't make any difference. Like most politicians, he won't be upholding that oath anyway.

It is entirely up to him, but I think he should use his full name when sworn in as the new President of the United States. His name should not be a cause for concern or equated with terrorism. Even if he was a Muslim, what would be wrong with that? Islam is not evil or bad, terrorism is and people of all religions have been involved in terrorism. Catholics and Protestants in Ireland have indiscriminately bombed and killed people also in pursuit of their political goals but no one would say that someone named Murphy or Sean or O'Connor is a terrorist just because they have an Irish name. It is no different with Mr. Obama. A name is just a name and those who would attach any evil intent to someone just because of their name is ignorant. President-elect Obama should use his whole name proudly.

He can't say his middle name - that would be RACIST! (or so we've been told this past year and a half)

It's a name given to him, that doesn't make him a terrorist, etc.

Don't underestimate Obama - I think he is a very strong man and will be doing the best, he is picking some very smart and experienced people for his cabinet.

A name means nothing, it is the person who counts. It's like people squawking because he is African-American (also half white), it is the person who counts. See the person - not the color or the name.

The only reason Muslims are relatively quite in the US is because there aren't enough off them to make a ruckus, not because they are assimilated so well. As number rise, so does radicalism. A review of European countries shows that clearly.In Europe, the higher Muslim populations cause the most trouble and those nations with fewer Muslims see much less radicalization.

As to BHO, I couldn't care less what he does with his name. If he had any manhood, though, he'd use the whole name. it IS his name, after all. He's already won the election. Why should he care what anyone thinks fo his name at this point?
