Yeah but being sworn in, don't they use the complete name? Baby Georgey didn't get sworn in as George W. Bush.

So......?

Please don't start that "Hussein" bullshit again, it really just invalidates any argument you are about to have in that direction.

Just be happy I stopped reading "TexasWASP" like I did when you first re-registered.
I'm guilty of reading it as TexasWASP too.

DrPhil/Chaos cool! Now I know why Senuseret responded with a while ago when we asked him where you were! I'm glad [that I now know] you're back!

Actually I'm not starting an argument. I want to know why they said H. instead of Hussein.

i don't plan on closing my eyes and say...Oh it's Barack and he can get away with it...much of the opposite to that, he probably will be scrutinized more than any president ever was...but NOBODY expects him to be perfect.

I had a response to your last post but I am just going to let it go.

You did basically call me a cracker though. It's cool.

Look....I hope he doesn't make some of the same mistakes Bush did either. I think Bush's presidency will be looked upon different in the long run, but that's neither here nor there. Hey, I was speaking in poor taste. Shoot me. I don't think it was racist, but oh well. I know in my mind why the name was made up but that doesn't really matter if it truly offends people. Obviously it does.

If he can turn some of his ideas into realities I will be more than happy..specifically ones that relate to my line of work.

Just don't ask.

Even IF you aren't looking to start an argument it's going to get you a sideways look.

I am trying to be nice and back off from saying 'xenophobe' at this point...let's walk away from this shall we?

Only from the same guy who shitted in his pants because he thought he was being called a RASTA!

LOL!

You and all these Obama enthusiasts who are too damn hype for your own good right now need to chill. Damn.

Trying to teach you a lesson....you learned...thank you.

Give Obama time, you and I can either be happy or miserable with the results in 4 years but for people to condemn him before he sets foot in the door is wrong, people expecting him to walk on water and raise the dead is ALSO EQUALLY as wrong.

Me personally, will have a hard time reconciling with Bush's admin but that's just my (....plus 2 million on The Mall ) opinion

Heh. I could have sworn he didn't.

You know what happened....possibly...everyone they introduced, they addressed by middle initial and if I remember correctly (I couldn't hear over all the screaming) they said Biden's entire name also.

Addressing someone and being sworn in are two different things. DrPhil posted the links to prove that he did say his middle name. But, had he not, I would have raised eyebrows. Not because I think he's a Muslim Terrorist, but because every other president sworn in has said their whole name.

But, tis not the issue because I was wrong.

Thank you for acknowledging your error.

so why was you making it one when you could have checked?
