While Sen. John McCain this week repudiated using Sen. Barack Obama’s middle name of Hussein, the Tennessee Republican Party embraced it Wednesday but later backtracked after a scolding from a party elder.

The chain of events began Monday when the Tennessee GOP sent out a press release entitled “Anti-Semites for Obama” in which the Illinois Democrat was referred to as “Barack Hussein Obama.” The press release also had a controversial picture of Obama donning traditional Somali attire.
...

Smith said that presidents or presidential hopefuls are often referred to with their middle names included.

“I think I have heard Richard Milhous Nixon, Dwight David Eisenhower,” Smith said. “I think I’ve heard Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, LBJ, on and on and on.”

When asked if Obama’s middle name though — the same as former Iraqi president and tyrant Saddam Hussein — gave off a different connotation, Smith suggested that Obama’s parents needed to be contacted.

“You can call his momma and daddy on that one,” Smith said.

5. McCain Might Feel Differently

Once he starts hearing about the "Former POWs for Obama" groups that will likely spring up.

How was George Bush 41 and 43 referred to when they campaigned?
