Obama just used his middle name at the rally in Wisconsin!

[jenmito]

This is the first time he used that line..."They never thought you'd elect a skinny guy with a funny name-Barack Hussein Obama!" He has always used "Barack Obama." I was so glad to hear him use it! :bounce:

4. Thanks; could anyone else spare some time for the POTUS?

Guess not. x(

[jenmito]

5. Nope. Only CNN showed PART of it then cut away.

Disgusting. But he's FIRED UP and telling them how his policies are helping THEM in the crowd.

[babylonsister]

6. Thanks, Jen. I'm on line listening/watching. The crowd sounds

fired up, too, and the Prez best watch his voice; he has a few more of these to do.

[jenmito]

8. I was thinking the same thing...

about him losing his voice. He's just TOO fired up!

[Parker CA]

7. He's ON FIRE!!

[jenmito]

9. I LOVE that he is telling the crowd about the parts of the healthcare law that

helps THEM!

[Parker CA]

10. He's in truly fine form right now. "you can't have the keys back, you dont know how to drive!!"

[jenmito]

11. He adds a little to that metaphor every time. I LOVE it!

[Parker CA]

12. He's hoarse from getting his passionate voice on. Laying out facts. Truth telling. This is great!

[jenmito]

15. Babylonsister and I are worried about his voice giving out since he has more events to do. n/t

[Parker CA]

16. He'll be fine. He's in his rare form and that crowd has him fired up BIG time!!

This is bringing me back to the campaign. Energized and enthusiastic crowd and the music as he does his post-speech rounds.

LOVE this.

Fired up! Ready to go!

"You can't have the keys back, YOU
DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE!!!"

[jenmito]

20. I hope so-he was SO fired up!

I hope to see him like this more often.

[Parker CA]

21. Right there with you, Jen!! I'm sure we'll be seeing much more of this over the next five weeks.

[jenmito]

22. He is pretty good at "politicking" as he said. :)

[babylonsister]

13. I sure hope he likes doing this, because I LOVE hearing it. nt

[nmbluesky]

18. Of Course He does

because his name!!!! He is proud of his name!!!!
He Fire UP!!!!!

[jenmito]

19. Yes, but he's used that line many times but never used his middle name...

I'm glad he used it this time. Maybe he figures he's going to take that "insult" away from the Repubs.

[Blue Owl]

23. Stick it to 'em

n/t

[jenmito]

24. I hope he KEEPS doing that-taking the "insult" power away from the RWers. n/t

[madmax]

28. K&R for Barack Hussein Obama n/t

[SlipperySlope]

29. I thought there was a DU rule against that

I thought there was a DU rule against that, but now I can't find it. Doesn't really matter though. I don't plan on using "Hussein" unless I'm in a trivia contest or something.

[CakeGrrl]

30. I think that was in cases where it was used derogatorily

as a way to belittle or slight him, such as the birthers referring to him as "Barry Soetoro".
