In the year 2003, rapper Jay-Z (a.k.a. Sean Carter) released a song called 99 Problems. In the explicit version of the chorus, he said, "if you got girl problems I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but a b---- ain't one." No, I'm not going to talk about the complete lack of black feminist outrage, or even white feminists protesting his lyrics. I'm also not going to criticize rap music for its message and so forth. So why bring this up?
Well, I remember watching the video for the first time on MTV. I remember that whoever the MTV news guy, not Kurt Loder, the other one- I would call MTV news an oxymoron, but then I'd also have to call CNN, Fox, NBC... well, you get the idea- anyway, he was talking about the video before they showed it. He introduced it explaining that it was very controversial. Oh, so controversial! Causing a lot of talk, apparently. Because, you see, Carter, I mean Z, was shot in the end of the video. Not because of his derogatory references to women or black women, or blacks at large, because all of MTV's rap songs are like that. Close to all rap songs period are like that, actually. No, this one was controversial because... he got shot. Because, you know, that never happens on TV or in movies or anything.
I figured it was a lot of hype, so I watch the video- which wasn't very good, same goes for the song- and boy was it a disappointment. Yea, sure, in the end he is in front of some fence, the film is black and white, by the way, and he gets shot. There isn't even any blood. There is nothing. It's just Mr. Z looking like a bad actor with his hands out in the air, similar to the manner six year old boys pretend to get shot in the play box. Wow, what controversy!
Truth is, you probably guessed, there was no controversy. Not one bit. Even MTV stopped trying to pretend that there was after less than a week. The entire thing was an attempt, an incredibly poor one at that, to create some sort of extra buzz around the video. I hope Z's record company didn't pay too much for it. Truth is, even that incorrigible racist Rush Limbaugh, so far as I know, had nothing to say about this oh-so-controversial video. He probably never even knew of its existence. What I'm getting at is: while MTV swung and missed with this one, we might still understand how the media, whatever source it may be, tries to twist things. Tries to make a big deal out of nothing. Tries to fabricate issues and opinions, then brainwash you into buying into them. You can bet that a bunch of kids watching it went around parroting the supposed controversial nature of the video to one another. Luckily for the sake of rational thought, no one pays much to what a fifteen year old kid thinks about a music video.
Fast forward about five years, go to a McCain rally, and what do we have here? Why, there's some so-called right-winger calling Barry by his middle name. Egad! Gasp! Shock! Barack Hussein Obama! Why, that right-winger used his middle name! And so, the media comes out talking about just how terrible and controversial it is. And here is the difference the perceptive person will notice. MTV, a relatively small time entertainment source, attempted to stir up hype by simply saying something was controversial. They introduced the video, "warning" the audience of the violence-which wasn't there, and told the audience that it was controversial. It didn't work. The seasoned spinners, liars, and communists at CNN, well, they were much more smooth, which is why they were able to succeed. What they did, what they always do, is act as if it were controversial. They don't have to immediately call it controversial, they just show up- Niel Cavuto, you scum, I'm talking about you- asking people like Juan McCain if they thinking it's okay. To them, or so they pretend, it already is contraversial, so calling it that is just redundant. They trick poor, naive America at large via the old salesman's adage: "act as if."
Boy, it worked, too. Even on our so-called leadership. Of course, our so-called leadership has the wit of a goldfish. McCain, the Republican nominee barring the near impossible, when questioned by that Cavuto piece of trash, whether or not it was okay to use Hussein's middle name, said absolutely not. It should never be done, he said. What a tool! If it were me, I would have smiled and said gee, I'm not sure, what is his middle name? Cavuto the moron would sooner or later have to fill me in, and I'd say well if you can use it, so can I, and anyone else. And if he absolutely refused, saying that I'm just playing games or whatever, I'd point out that he's the one playing games, using Rodham whenever he wants for Hillary, but not Hussein for Barry. Either way, saying that Hussein is somehow off limits is a losing argument to anyone with half a brain, and I have a whole brain. Apparently, after being in the "beltway" for so long, every one of our leaders has less than half a brain now.
So let us move on to answer the issue at hand. Can we use his middle name? Well, I don' want to get in to the free speech issue that guarantees our right to say Hussein, Hussein, Hussein as many times as we want. Liberals don't really believe in free speech anyway. They believe in their opinion's free speech. No, let us move on from that, and wonder if we should, rather than if we can.
Let's examine Obama. His Kenyan father that named him and his mother Stanley (named after her father, who wanted a boy so bad he named his daughter after himself) left before Obama could have even known him. Stanley soon remarried another Muslim man, who took them to Indonesia for some time. Fast forward to today, Barry is supposedly a Christian, with an extra large cross on his bible for the cameras to see. Of course, his church is a radical black-only church that preaches not Christian values so much as black values. Angry anti-white, anti-America black values. One must also note Barry's obscure reference to the Sermon on the Mount that he says condones same-sex unions (another misnomer for marriage). He also says that choices about abortion- even partial birth abortion- should involve a woman's family, councilor, pastor... instead of a "bureaucrat in Washington." (This is the only time Barry will ever mention the bureaucracy of Washington as a negative- mark my words.) So let me get this straight. He says that abortion is okay, so long as the woman talks with her pastor about it? Because her pastor will condone it? I don't know how Christian Mr. Hussein Obama really is...
But that is not all. This Muslim connection that everyone is trying to cover up- poorly, not that it matters- is an issue! Our enemy fights us in the name if Islam. There are plenty of good Muslims, in this country and outside of it, but our enemy is what it is. So it is an issue that must be discussed to any sane person. Why can't Hussein Obama come out and say that, yes, he went to a Madrasa but it was a moderate, non-hate-preaching school in Indonesia? And for that matter, why doesn't he distance himself from that radical preacher of his?
Wait! Why should this be discussed? That's not fair, Obama's father's religion should never be discussed, that's taboo. It is only fair right? Yea, sure. It isn't like the media ever scrutinized the hell out of Mitt Romney for his religion. Never mind that Romney's values are more Christian than Obama's could ever hope to be. In fact, Mitt's that was born and is based in this country. No, no, the media was completely fair about Mitt's belief system. Just because Mitt explained why his religion would not override his presidency doesn't mean anything. We need to scrutinize him! But Hussein Obama is different. You can't just ask him any question you want, the rules change for him. He's black people...
Well, here I come, the racist in all my glory, because I'm asking some questions anyway. If we had a fair media, Obama would already have been asked most or all of these questions. They involve Islam and his middle name. And his heritage and connections and so on. They don't really involve his mixed racial background, yes, he is half white, because I don't care. I want them answered by the Obama camp. They won't be.
Ahem. Mr. Barack Hussein Obama...
Why does a "man" like Farrakhan endorse you?
Are you two friends? Have you ever met with him?
Why did your church of twenty years bestow Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award?
Why do other Islamic leaders support you, for that matter?
Did he give your campaign any money?
Did anyone from CAIR or any other Muslim organization give your campaign any money?
Why does your church preach such black vs. white oriented sentiments?
What is your middle name, again?
What does it mean?
Do you like it?
Can you explain how the Sermon on the Mount overrides all the specific words against homosexual acts in the bible?
What about the 2000 years of doctrine against it?
Does Christianity really condone abortion, especially partial birth abortion?
Does Islam?
Do you personally consider it an evil act?
Do you consider a fetus a human life?
What did you learn in the Indonesian Madrasa you attended?
Was there any hate speech against Jews, or any other non-believers?
Was it there that you learned to not salute the American flag or wear the cheesy lapel pin?
What kind of measures would you take against Islamic extremists, to protect America?
Does your Muslim background have anything to do with your desire to retreat and surrender in Iraq?
Who does donate all this money to you anyway?
Was it a Christian or a Muslim that introduced you to cocaine in your drug abusing years?
And finally, why do you and your wife act afraid of people using your middle name?
I have plenty more problem with Obama's policies, stances, philosophies, behaviors, etc. Pretty much everything except his color- hey, turns out I'm not racist! I also have a lot more questions for him than those above. The fact is, Obama has a whole lot of explaining to do, only a fraction of which involves his middle name. The man is a naked communist with naked communist policies. He is anti-everything-American. His endorsers, even his wife, utter seemingly nothing but anti-American sentiments. My hope is that, as he dodges his own name, a relatively small issue, and makes everyone bringing it up sound racist; all these other, admittedly more important issues- like his being a communist- sneak up on him. Maybe he will be exposed for the Soviet sympathizing, freedom hating, double talking snake that he really is.
If I may stoop to the level of the Obama-maniac fan for just a moment, just this once, so that they may understand what I'm trying to say, let me conclude with this...
If your middle name's Hussein, I feel bad for you son. You've got 99 problems but your name ain't one.

Yeah I like how his slogan is "End the war in Iraq. Invest at home." And then he goes to Kenya to visit his grandmother and says, "It's good to be home!" Apparently we all need to invest in Kenya.
Luckily for him, he has such a racially diverse background, that whichever race is most popular at the moment, he can just pick that one to identify with the most.
That Christian Church I called home? Bad press you say? Alright, do me a favor, schedule a flight to Kenya.
Well that's quite interesting, seeing as how his Kenyan father left him and his mother before he hit puberty.
