Yes, we are discussing politics. And it is a currently popular political trick to use someone's name as an insult, and then claim "but that's their name!" We all did this as children, so we all know what is really being said. Many object to the gratuitious use of Obama's middle name of Hussein (there, I said it) because we know what is *really* being said, and that is this: "See, he must be a muslim and/or an enemy of America, because he has an Arab name, and it is the same name as the dictator that we convinced you would wipe us all out with anthrax and a mushroom cloud."
