That's ALL you care about?
Where the name came from is his Grandfather. When he converted from Christianity to Islam, he took the name. He then passed the name to some of his
kids and they passed it to their kids... Sounds familiar, eh? I'm named after my uncle. MANY people pass on names out of respect or to honor their
ancestors. Every heard of this? My brother is named after my dad. It's fairly common.
You're probably too young to remember when LA Laker great, Lou Alcindor converted and changed his name to Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Or remember a guy
named Cassius Clay, later known as Muhammad Ali? Ever wonder where their names came from? Yeah, I know, they're not running for president.

The
point I'm making is that a name does not a person make.
When you start thinking that a name has significance, remember that "John" is of
Hebrew
Origin but is also the name of many American murderers:
John Wayne Gacy
John Haigh
John Wilkes Booth
And some other common American names you might recognize:
Ted Bundy
Charles Manson
Jeffery Dahmer
Al Capone
Mark Chapman
Lee Harvey Oswald
And you may not remember our strong ally,
King Hussein of Jordan...
All this silliness about Barack Hussein Obama’s middle name is an embarassing display of American ignorance about the outside world. Hussein is as
common a name in the Middle East as Samuel is in the West.
Yes, there was an evil, despotic tyrant whose last name happened to be Hussein, but there was also an enlightened unelected leader in the Middle East
who was as strong an ally of the U.S. as we have had in the region.

And what are your thoughts on Obama's little step brother being named "GEORGE"??? Does that mean that everyone names George is suspicious?
Do you REALLY think there is some significance to a name???
