Cnn reports that Sen. Barrack Obama might consider defending his inexperience, race and middle name (Hussein) that some feel may remind americans of Saddam Hussein.
Well, i am in no position to advice anyone, leave alone Sen. Obama. But i would change/drop the middle name. Why would a little known middle name stand between you and such an elevated position (whatever position it is going to be)? What is in a name? It reminds Americans of all that they consider bad:
(i)Saddam Hussein
(ii)A muslim/moslem (which is which, does it matter?).
Well, you might say, he was still elacted senator with the name. True, but the stakes are now much higher; why take a chance?
This is no small matter. Politics is all about perceptions and looks and appearances.
