The only mention "Husseain" in the context of Obama's middle name in any of mudwhistle's posts occurs in quotes of other posters.
I do believe you owe the man an apology for your false claim.

The point I made in my post wasn't regarding what Mud writes.
How many right-wing talking heads have you heard call him "B. Hussein Obama"? Personally, I've lost count. These people say there's nothing wrong with it.
My middle name is Thomas. If someone called me "S. Thomas Jones", that wouldn't register with me; it's not my name. If someone called me on the phone and said "Hi Tom!", my reply would be "Sorry, wrong number".
There's only one reason to put an emphasis on his middle name rather than his first. Unfortunately, right-wingers fail to acknowledge that Obama had absolutely nothing to do with him having the name he does.
The point I was making was, given the propensity for people on the right to do that, we shouldn't be at all surprised that Obama has made these comments.
There are plenty of reasons to not like Obama. His name shouldn't be one of them...
