McCain showing class, much like Obama calling McCain a true American Hero. It's refreshing to see a story like this.

McCain gets it. I wonder if Hillary will figure it out before the debate tonite?

And now the military is afraid of Obama, at least according to the neo-con journalist John Solomon at the Washington (Moonie) Times. McCain should tell Solomon our military is not afraid of anyone, particularly not a single man. Wonder if Solomon checks for boogie men under his bed at night?

Is'nt that his name. If McCain starts to whimp out he will lose my vote. I am already reluctant to give it to him.

Why McCain is apologizing? Why are we so afraid of Obama's real name? Why is Obama ashamed of his real name?

I'm still trying to figure out, what exactly the problem is in refering to someone by their given name. Is it, or is it not his full name? If Barack Hussein Obama is embarassed by his name, then that is his problem, not Bill Cunninghams. Quite frankly I'm ashamed of McCain for apologizing for something that did not need to be apologized for.

I got news for you. If you think Obama or anyone else is going to be able to change the tone you are sadly mistaken. Bush did try, but people like you and your utter hatred for Bush made it impossible. It will continue, I dont care how many people Obama wants to have tea with, the tone will remain the same. Obama has not reached across the aisle for anything, now all of a sudden he will bring change. What a bunch of kool aid drinkers.

He had nothing to apolojize for, so what if his full name was used, if Barack Hussein Obama has a problem with people using his real name, no matter how MUSLIM/terroist it sounds, then thats his problem. Maybe he should have a talk with his mother about her choices in breeding companions.

It is not about the name. It is about the use. We are Americans first before anything. I am white and my vote will not go to anyone that use race or reliogion to divide us because we will stand as one against our adversories. Our brave sodiers are fighting for the peace that we have and they caught across racial and religion.

I commened McCain for his response. Black, whites, christain, jews, muslims are all dying for the freedom that we have.

Why is everyone walking on egg shells around him. THAT IS HIS NAME!!! Whats wrong, he does not want people to get a clue about him.

The Republican hate machine strikes again. Why do these angry, paranoid hatemongers think we will ever let them run the country again? Even McCain knows that his party is doomed by it's divisiveness and hatred. The GOP is a party of irrelevant, racist cranks who hate the government. Time to send them back to their bunkers where they belong.

I am Canadian and following this US election because it is captivating. However I sometimes can't get over how myopic Americans (but not all) can get on issues. First let me just say what is wrong with Obama's middle name huh? Just because it is typically a name used by Muslims of which his father was one? He is as Christian as most of you are! And for that matter what is wrong with being a muslim? Islam NOT equal terrorism as many of you have been deceived.
What's with this, everyone keeps saying Obama is all talk, well what is Clinton and Mccain doing right now .. they are all talking because that's what people do in campaigns. The action follows after you have been elected, you cannot do presidential "stuff" until you are a president. Even Clinton and Mccain are all telling you their agendas, they can't do anything till they are elected, neither can Obama.
I am so tired of hearing Clinton talk about experience. Experience in being a wal-mart board member, in being first lady? If that's all that she's talking about then perhaps you could elect Barb Bush as well. Being wife of president NOT = being a president. Obama has experience too being in the senate just as Clinton. For good measure, let me just say experience isn't a guarantee that the future of your country will be steered in the right direction.

"Hussein" is not the complete pejorative some people make it out to be and shouldn't be exclusive to a reminder of Saddam Hussein. There are good people with that name. For instance, King Hussein of Jordan was a staunch ally of the United States.

Why is calling someone by name a problem ??? McCain was a fool to apologize for nothing !!!

More proof that today's Republicans are horrible human beings. What a disgusting jerk this Bill Cunningham guy is - a total racist jerk.

All you Bush haters are gonna see what a good man Bush was when you have that kid in the White House, I cannot wait for the media to start in on him. He will only get 4 years and then the R will clean up in the Senate, Congress and the White House. So go ahead give it to him, let him and all the Dems take the blame for the next 4 years. I am looking so forward to it. Does the name Carter ring a bell with anyone?

McCAIN knows that Obama respects him and he ought to return the favor. The name Hussein is used to prejudice Obama and for now can not be used to gain favor. Obama could have attacked him on his sex scandal and chose to call him an American HERO.

Bob - because that's not the name that Obama chooses to go by. I know something as simple as basic respect is lost on most Republicans these days. That's why we're going to send the GOP packing in November - they've simply lost all sense of humanity and respect for their fellow Americans. The GOP has gone insane and it's time for a time out.

Bill Cunningham's a fixture in Cincinnati. He shouldn't have placed McCain in that position. I'm glad that McCain apologized.

Kool aid drinkers all. I am so excited to constantly put down your candidate for the next 4 years. This is going to be fun. Unlike all of you though I will not wish harm to Obama, like all of you did to Bush.
