(10,565 posts)Believe it or not he shares the president's first name. Really. In Nashville TN.

(12,328 posts)Thanks for that...you made me giggle. It is hard to believe that anyone else has that very unique name!

(135,425 posts)For example, Muhamad Hosni Mubarack - former Egyptian leader -- the Mubarack is "my blessing."
Hussein, or Hosayn, or Hassan is usually translated to mean "beautiful" or "handsome."
So, the POTUS's name is, more or less Beautiful Blessing. It's a rather positive name, actually.

(12,328 posts)It is a positive name and apropos for the President, IMHO.
It was just amusing to me that someone asked "Barack Hussein Obama?". We must admit "Barack" is one of those names like "Cher" or "Sting" or "Bono" where the one name would suffice.

(135,425 posts)Funny, I know a few Osamas...but they go out of their way to call themselves something else, either "Bud," or "Sam/Sammy" or "Moe" or "Ossie." I don't know anyone with the "O" name who uses it anymore...it's like ADOLPH during/after WW2!

(11,589 posts)What I really loved about this interview is how he was trying to say that he was changing this office they call the Executive.
Keep that candle burning, I will as well.
