"Barack Hussein Obama" in Texas school textbooks?
   
It almost happened. Check out this little exchange that happened during the debate over the Texas curriculum.

The State Board of Education voted to include President Obama in a revised social studies curriculum on Thursday after a Republican board member temporarily offered -- but then withdrew -- an amendment that would have listed the president’s full name -- Barack Hussein Obama.

“The intent behind what you’re doing, I think, is pretty obvious,” board member Bob Craig of Lubbock said after his fellow Republican, David Bradley of Beaumont, offered the amendment. “I just don’t think that’s correct.”

“We don’t have to insult the president of the United States,” Lawrence A. Allen Jr., a Houston Democrat and an African-American, told Bradley. “I’m asking you to please withdraw your amendment.”

Another member, Mary Helen Berlanga, D-Corpus Christi, said the motion would be “humiliating” to the nation’s first African-American president.

“I’ll put an end to the whining,” Bradley said. “I’ll withdraw the motion.”

“I don’t consider it whining,” snapped Mavis B. Knight, D-Dallas, an African-American.

If he objects to his name he ought to change it.  What a douchebag, him and all his whining supporters.

His Indonesian madrasa had him listed as a Muslim.  If it's the religion of peace, what's the problem?

I don't see how listing all the Presidents with their full names is an insult?

"Mr President is your middle name an insult?"

[thundley4]

Most of the DUmmies didn't have a problem if all the others are listed by  their full names.  I'm pretty sure all the presidents were listed by their full names in my history books. All the way up to John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Obama runs for President refusing to say his middle name and the media and McCain get upset when someone uses the middle name.

Obama wins the Presidency and goes on his Middle East Apology Tour and uses his middle name.

Now Democrats get upset when a Republican proposes using the middle name?

Does any of this make sense?
