Time to give the President-elect a new middle name

November 23, 2008 by Procrustes

b-messiah-22

The world is limping along in the last days of King George and his lame duck presidency. Soon America will crown its brand-spanking, shiny new hood ornament, its Obamessiah, a president-elect who had the misfortune of being born to parents lacking sufficient foresight and sensitivity to not give him such a future-politically-incorrect middle name — “Hussein”.

With a huge hat tip to commenter JonRoss at Hot Air, RBO shares his sentiments. It’s a wonderful suggestion, really.

Someone needs to hold a nationwide contest to “Give the President a new middle name”. I like Milhous, but we Americans are creative and maybe we could come up with something else.

RBO is definitely read nationwide; heck, we know we’re even read internationally, so guess we’re qualified to take on the herculean task.

The rules are simple — a new middle name AND an explanation for why it applies.

And, puh-leaze, no “Honest Abe” or “new JFK/MLK/RFK” nominations. The MSM has already beaten those horses to death.

1. Give the President-elect a new middle name.

2. Tell us why.

Nominations close December 1, 2008.

    I would keep it the same, it was most likely given with love… I hate my middle name, but it was a gift from my father, so I will keep it…

    Barack Jesus Obama – Because no matter what he does, he could kill a kitten live on TV, the Christian Right would love him. The Republicans would never win another election.

    Barnum. He also wrote an autobiography at and early age (44) which was full of half truths, self promotion, and good old fashioned baloney. He was famous for schemes and hoaxes. His last book was “The Art of Money-Getting”. The list of similarities is really endless.

    Vladimir, ties in nicely with his long-standing ties to Commies.

    Steve, it’s the one he picked, and I always liked Steve Allen.
    If you don’t like that one, I suggest “Topo Gigio.” He was famous for being a lovable puppet with big ears, too.

    Homer, as in Simson, at least he wouldn’t have to buy new stationery or luggage.
