When Barack Hussein Obama appeared on “Larry King Live” on March 20, King asked the presidential candidate the inevitable question about Rev. Jeremiah Wright. “You know, I gave obviously a major speech about this issue and race in general on Tuesday,” Obama responded.
While it is normal for supporters of a candidate or those in the media (which, in Obama's case, are often one and the same) to refer to a speech as a “major speech,” I’ve never heard anyone characterize their own speech as a “major speech.” Some might have considered Obama’s speech a “major speech,” but few would put it in the same category as Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address” or Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. I doubt that Lincoln or King ever referred to their own speeches as “major” speeches.
Google the phrase "I gave a major speech" and you'll find few, if any, examples of anyone using such a phrase.
This Obama is coming off as just a bit arrogant, isn’t he?

Typical xenophobic rhetoric. Wanted to make sure we all knew his middle name was HUSSEIN, huh? That's a mature attitude, I'm assuming you're parents were probably siblings.
So, if Obama is elected president, will you question the maturity of the Supreme Court justice who swears in Barack Hussein Obama?
Holy cow, you're even stupider than I thought. Yeah, a right-wing blogger saying his middle name to stir up racist fears and a judge saying his middle name as part of a government ceremony are SOOO much alike.
Got to work on your logic, there.

What race does the name "Hussein" belong to? Saddam was an Arab. I have seen Filipinos, Indonesians, and Malaysians named "Hussein." Obama is half black and half whie. It seems that people from all races have the name Hussein. Therefore, how can my use of the name be considered racist?
"Got to work on your logic, there."
How ironic.
