Kilmeade asks, "If [Obama] was worried" about people thinking he's Muslim, "wouldn't he have kept his name as Barry and not Barack?"

Citing 9/11, Huddy adds people are "understandably" worried by Muslims.

        How much you wanna bet Obama's popularity would spike if he announced a strong belief in faith healing as a method of addressing health care problems in this country?

        People are so stupid...

          The Jindal crowd would like it, considering Jindal once exercised a demon and believed that cured the woman's cancer.

          That actually happened.

        But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

      Yes, if he didn't want people to think he was Muslim, why would he allow himself to be called a name that appears in the Old Testament and is the last name of the f--king former Prime Minister of Israel?

      The last time I checked, Article Six of the Constitution says there is no religious tests to be an office holder in the United States, and the First Amendment says that people are free to practice or not practice their religion without governmental intervention. When did they change this? Why isn't the President allowed the same Constitutional rights that I am? Maybe the reason more Americans think the President is a Muslim is because of the stupid, baiting remarks made on a daily basis by the idiots and bigots of Faux Noise. Baiting the President to come out and admit he's a Muslim , because there is nothing wrong with it is a rotten to the core Kil-me. Hey, why don't you come out and admit there's nothing wrong with frequent masterbation, it working for you after all. And who is that chick with the nasal voice? I would have thought that Faux could have afforded getting her the nose job she seems to need so desparately, or do they just figure that no one is listening?

      also from Wikipedia:
      * Ehud Barak, a former Prime Minister, and current Minister of Defense, deputy prime minister and leader of Israel's Labor Party
      * Barak Yitzhaki, Israeli football player
      * Barack Obama (variation of Hebrew into English), President of the United States of America
      * Aharon Barak, former President of the Supreme Court of Israel

      All of the references have "Israel" in the description except 1.

        Baruch, the Hebrew name means Blessed, just as the Arabic name Barack. Hussein means Handsome, and Obama senior was born two years before Sadam Hussein. Both these are good, strong names to give a child, even if they hadn't belonged to his father first. I have a long first name. I was called by a diminutive until I went to high school. I have used the formal name ever since, and my name is a nice Irish Catholic name, what hidden message was I trying to send? I happen to like my name and the diminutive was very common, the formal name less so. If I was allowed to change, why wasn't the President?

            Me, too. I miss Hussein. He seemed like a fun man to be around and he did work hard for Middle East peace. I like his son, Abdullah, but he seems far more serious than his father, and not quite so intentionally charming.

      If Muslims really wanted to be accepted in America, they wouldn't put their mosques where we normal people could see them and be offended. It's all about showing some sensitivity.

      If Barack Obama really didn't want us to think he might be a Muslim, he wouldn't go by the name "Barack." He'd change his name to something like "Keith" or "Gary" or "George," so us normal people wouldn't be confused. It's all about showing some sensitivity.

      If Barack Obama didn't want to be subjected to racist attacks, he should not have run for President. That would have been the sensitive thing to do.

      One way Mexicans could stop drawing negative attention to themselves would be if they stopped speaking in the language of their homeland. I'm so offended when I hear Spanish, I can't tell you. They should all speak English in a Vermont accent. Just to make me more comfortable. If they really wanted to assimilate, they wouldn't mind doing this.

      I could go on and on.

          Well, that's just typical. If "Keith" Ellison is proud of being a Muslim, why doesn't he go by a real Muslim name? What's he trying to hide?

          That would be the sensitive thing to do. Poor white Christians, they are always the victims of heartless, thoughtless souls. If it isn't the Muslims, it's the secularists; if it isn't the secularists, it's the government; if it isn't the government, it's the Jews; --- they blame everyone but themselves.

      Where is this coming from? every deep seated fear or hatred is being brought to the surface.

      A. If he did change his name to "Barry," the first Fox question would be: "what is he hiding?"

      B. If he did change his name to "Barry," then it would be in keeping with that American tradition of ethnically cleansing a name so you can get ahead in a society that has little patience for "those people"

      Yeah, how dare the President pray in private. Just who does he think he is? We, the people, need to see him praying in public at churches, at rallies, wherever, so we know he is truly a Christian in our sick, twisted minds. I mean, really. He should know we can't figure out anything on our own. We are spoon-fed by the 24/7 TV news cycle and conservative radio. If they say it, than dang it, it must be true.
