A radio announcer used Barack Obama's middle name as he was introducing John McCain, and everyone had a HUGE hissy fit over that and some of the things that he said about McCain's fellow liberal, Senator Obama.
Before I really go off, here are some Presidents who used their middle names:
John Quincy Adams.
William Henry Harrison.
James Knox Polk.
Ulysses Sam Grant
William Howard Taft.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Ronald Wilson Reagan.
George Herbert Walker Bush.
William Jefferson Clinton.
George Walker Bush.
And the controversy:
Barack Hussein Obama.
It's a middle name! GET OVER IT!
In some countries, it's customary to address someone by their first and middle names. Many native-born Americans have middle names. In Bush 41's case, he's got two. And so does the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier that's been named after him.
McCain over-reacted to the use of Obama's middle name. The announcer, Cincinatti personality Bill Cunningham, reacted very badly to McCain's humiliating him and went off like a rocket on every newscast he could get airtime on.
This entire episode was very poorly handled. And now McCain and Cunningham both have egg in their faces.
If McCain was so sensitive, why did he allow a firebrand like Cunningham to introduce him in the first place?
If you put a fox into a henhouse, guess what? He's going to have chicken for dinner EVERY SINGLE time! McCain is responsible for putting this fox into that henhouse. And now he's apologizing for the fox doing what it was supposed to do. DUH!!
