Michelle Obama: Name Hussein Is 'the fear bomb'

Michelle Obama, who often has decried "the fear bomb'' that opponents have used against her husband for his middle name -- Barack Hussein Obama -- said in Canton, Ohio, today that it is happening again and shows why it's so important that he wins election as president.
"They threw in the obvious, ultimate fear bomb," Obama said today of her husband's 2004 Senate race. "We're even hearing [that] now. … 'When all else fails, be afraid of his name, and what that could stand for, because it's different.'"
The senator's wife said that rivals use innuendo to play on fears. "Just as they're saying it now," she said.
But, she told about 200 supporters this morning at a restored theater in Canton, Obama won despite that "climate of negativity and doubt" in 2004.
"We learned, number one, that when power is threatened by real change they will say anything to stop it," she said. "But we also learned that the American people can handle the truth."
What America needs, she added, is a "fundamentally different kind of leadership," one that challenges people to be different, and better to one another. And that, she said to critics who say it is not his time, cannot wait.
"Barack Obama will be the kind of leader we need right now, not in four years or eight years or 12 years," she said. "We can't wait to get this right. We need it to happen today."
Wild Thing's comment.........
Hmmmmmmm
How about.........Barack FearBomba Obama
Yeah, when people are acting too nervous about “Hussein”, throw the word “bomb” into the mix. LOL She put “Hussein”, “fear” and “bomb” all in the same sentence. hahaha oh my gawd! People’s subconscious minds just went into warp drive!
The fear bomb I have is when he guts the military and gives our nuclear arsenal away. The bomb hussein will then bring to us will be in the form of a mushroom cloud over one of our cities from one of “his muslim” friends.
I can't help it but Michelle Obama reminds me so much of Cynthia McKinney.
Actually, rascist Mrs. Obama, the worst thing for your husband's presidential bid is YOU. The press is throwing him softballs, so why all the self-pity and whining?
Just say, “Hello - my name is Barak Hussein Obama. My middle name is spelled the same as Saddam Hussein. I have chosen to keep it because I am 45% Arab and that is the name I was born with.”

yeah, what is the big deal. Broke Hussein Osama, Oops... Grope hussein Obama,... must be ashamaed of his Moslem heritage,... eh ?
I wonder how long that will last probably until he is sworn into office on the Koran.
We can't call him a Liberal, we can't use his middle name, we can't question his credibility, or lack thereof, so we are to just accept this Moslem POS as our leader...I don't think so.

She certainly is a high maintenance crybaby, isn't she? She makes Hitlery look nice.
I hate to tell her this, but it ain't the name we're in fear of. It's her hubby himself.

Michelle Obama decries "the fear bomb". What about the pure hate filled personal attack bombs launched against President Bush these last seven years by her husband and his party? Michelle Obama should stop playing this victimhood game before she turns into another Hillary Rodham Clinton. Oooooops! I used the HRC fear bomb.
Lynn -- You are so right that it isn't the name but her hubby that we fear.

Mark LOL exactly I wonder what will be next. Will he tell us we can't say something else? haha Dream on Obama we give the facts.

Lynn I agree, she is turning into a female dictator along with her husbands demands. They do whine constantly. yuk!

Les that is so true. For two terms now with Bush we have heard him called a Nazi and all kinds of things. Things totally untrue. This has to be the height of double standard at play.
