…middle schmiddle…WHO CARES. I think John McCain did the right thing — the man said he was sorry and MOVED ON. Thank you, sir. Clearly, this man doesnt’ like to play games.

HAVE A GROOVY DAY!

My middle name is Jon. People only use it when Im in trouble.;) I suppose they could be using his name to sensationalize the campaign and build mis trust between Christians and a Muslim candidate.

It is his name.

I for one am tired of all the ground rules about how and what can be talked about with Obama.

Be a man and stand up for who you are and what you believe and let the chips fall where they may.

I was named by the nun at the hospital I was born after my Father. Funny thing is my Dad had only one name. He added his confirmation name as a middle initial I think while he was in the service or perhaps the CCC camps.

The name: Aloysius

Ed

Actually I was saved from what they couldnt decide on Billy Ray, Jerry Don, Timothy Joe…oh the south you have to love it.

The only time my middle name is used is when I got in trouble with my Mom, now my wife has that roll. I think Middle names are used to get your attention. With Obama I think its a pollitical cheap trick to make him look bad. I like McCain but Sydney? I bet he got picked on in school for that one.

Some people may be trying to imply that he is muslim because they know muslims unfortunately do not have a good image with a lot of people right now. If that’s what they are doing, then shame on them. There are lots of ways to attack his positions on the issues without using this kind of politics. By the way Alisyn, surely your middle name is bella.

It’s amazing to me that these radio show hosts have nothing better to fight with than to bring up something as stupid as Barack Obama’s middle name. It just show’s me their ignorance. I don’t know what that guys name is….and I don’t really care, but GROW UP! And this is only directed at that particular radio show host….please don’t vote in November…..we don’t need people like you deciding what’s best for our country!

How are you today Alisyn? And no….I won’t tell you my middle name, because I hate it.

You look fabulous as always!

Pat

By the way Ali- what is your middle name?

Good Morning Alisyn Lane Camerota, (Steve might not recall, but I know your middle name )

I don’t see anything wrong with his middle name being mentioned but I think McCain made this more of an issue by appoligizing about it as if it was a big deal. If McCain is going to appoligize every time someone campaigning for him throws some red meat out to try and jazz up the supporters than McCain either needs to stop having others campaign for him for stop the campaign.
I find it ironic considering McCain’s well known colorful langauage he uses when cursing out others that disagree with him that he appoligizes over something as small as Obama’s middle name being mentioned.

On the grunting tennis girl….
On The Discovery Channel (or maybe National Geographic) there was a tv show that scientifically looked into athletes and their grunting. By studying world class athletes they proved scientifically that an athlete’s energy out put was as much as 50% higher when they grunt or scream. It does have a real positive effect on the body allowing for a higher performance from the athlete.
With that said, I do find it annoying also.

your midle name is given by your parents, whom love you. it should not be a big deal. alisyn, whats your midle name?

I make my own coffee and love drinking it while watching fox & friends. I watch my local fox news till 7 c’clock and turn it over and watch fox and friends with the great trio of Brian Steve and Gretchen. You three and the greatest. You work so well together and seem to get along and have so much fun. As for Alisyn, she is too busy trying to be sexy and standing with her legs apart and making sure the camera is on her at all times. I know it isn’t just me that feels this way as I have several friens that feel the same. Alisyn is too full of herself and thinks she is too sexy for her on good.She isn’t, Gretchen is.

A better question might be why would Barack be offended if others mention his middle name?

Let’s get real about the situation. A middle name means nothing. That middle name conjures up bad memories, because we happen to be at war with a country that had that name brazened across everything.

if obamas name is his undoing, thats fine with me,,,,,,,,,sounds like easy pickin’

this will probably be the least of his worries when its a 2 person race though

I do not feel it is necessary to use Obama’s middle name – it is obvious that the reason it was done was to try to put doubt in the public’s mind. It is just a name and is no reflection on the man’s ability to be a great President, which I think he will be.

On one other note….I don’t watch your program all the time so I do not know the name of the woman who is on the air at this time. (7:44am) But it is obvious to me that she is not for Obama – it is noted in her comments and how she is saying her words regarding him. I don’t think that comes across as fair and balanced.

Why not fair? JFK, RFK, LBJ, FDR… John Wayne Gacy, Lee Harvey Oswald. I don’t see anything wrong with Barack Hussien Obama. If Barack is going to be upset over someone using his REAL middle name, then he is far too sensitive for politics.

Pathetic.

McCain is dead wrong for apologizing. McCain just doesn’t have the testicles.

Thanks for allowing me to wake up to you.

ALISYN;
MIDDLE NAMES DON’T MAKE THE PERSON,AND FOR SURE THIS “HUSSIEN” CRAP IS JUST HIT
JOB’S.MY MIDDLE NAME IS “LEWIS” AND IT IS QUITE NOTEWORTHY AS IT WAS MY FATHER’S
1st NAME.HE WAS A COMBAT MEDIC IN WW2 WON THE BRONZE STAR FOR VALOR AND WAS
A P.O.W. FOR 18 MONTHS. I CLING TO IT PROUDLY.I AM A VIETNAM VET.
YESTERDAY SOME KOOL-AID DRINKER SUGGESTED THAT FOX HAS A DRESS CODE FOR IT’S
FEMALE ANCHOR’S TO SEX IT UP(SHORT SKIRT’S) HE GOT THE LINE VERBATIM FROM DAN
ABRAMS OF MSNBC FAME WHO HAS ABOUT 6 VIEWER’S.I HAVE NOT SEEN ON NEWS PERSON
ON FOX MALE OR FEMALE WHO DOES’NT DO THEIR JOB WITH PROFFESIOLISM,HONESTY AND
YES A LITTLE FUN.I TRULY BELIEVE YOU GUYS (ALL THE SHOW’S ARE THE FOX FAMILY) AND
I WANT IN.I’M A FOX FAN 24\7.I WATCH ABRAMS @4am WHEN BILL HAS HIS RERUN.TAPE HIM
SOMETIME.HA ALWAYS GO’S AFTER FOX HE’S A LONELY MAN.

I believe it is relevant. We are now in a war with Moslem extremist. He wants to Run from Iraq, he wants to sit down with Iran and Sreia. I would like to now just how far back his roots are. I think these questions are fair. He would be running the most powerful country in the world. political correctness should not stand in the way of asking the hard questions

shame on Rush for criticizing McCain for apoligizing after this irresponsible use of rhetoric. I don’t support Obama, but I am not about to subscribe to the McCarthy-istic notion that his middle name somehow means that by default he is an evil villian on par with Saddam. McCain showed good judgment by addressing this so quickly and should be commended for his integrity.

Ali, Since when does “fair” have anything to do with a political campaign? Everyone knows Hillary’s middle name. I saw put ‘em both in a mud pit and let them wrestle it out. Now that would be entertaining…

Alisyn I was watching Fox when the guy introduced John McCain and I think what upset Him more than calling Obama by His full name was when He said: “Condi Rice makes Madelyn Albright look like death warmed over”. Now, that was done in such bad taste. The guy just came on as rude and brash to begin with, in my opinion!!!!! Be Safe Alisyn and Thank You…..Jackie in Alabama~”Roll Tide Country”! BTW~Love Y’alls show!

What are the middle names of all the folks on Fox & Friends? Maybe if I new waht they were I would be able to stereo type all the participants in the show.

Gary

George Herbert Walker Bush…..2 Middle names. William Jefferson Clinton, Ronald Wilson Reagan.
Seems like its used regularly.

Mike
Delaware, Oh

Obviously McCain’s supporter was trying to associate Obama with radical Muslims and terrorists. He did the right thing in apologizing to Obama, you don’t have to go down that road if you believe you are the one that’s correct on REAL issues. Second, Alisyn is a great co-host and for someone to say she is ful of herself is just plain stupid. She is smart, funny and attractive! She does her job AND she just happens to be sexy as hell a the same time. And if you’ve got it all, you should flaunt it. She is worth every dime Fox pays her, and a lot of men would “trip over themselves to make her coffee” in the morning, but watching her do her job extremely well is the next best thing!

I am not trying to be inflammatory, however, the arrival of a candidate on the presidential stage with a middle name of “Hussein” seven years post 9/11 is errie. One cannot help but draw a non-secular connection. There are too many other ongoing events taking place not to put this in apocalyptic context.

He is a personable, charismatic candidate but he has no record. When one considers the porous borders, the rhetoric of extremists, sovereignty issues, etc. we owe it to ourselves to scrutinize EVERYTHING.

Hi Alisyn,

Obama sounds like Osama, Hussein echos a murderous tyrant and Barack is as common a name as Muhammad so what is the big deal? The man went to a Muslim school and wore middleastern garb with a turbin at least once and now the very mention of these antics bring disdain from Hussein and the liberal media with liberal John McCain as a co-sponsor. Barf time is at hand! The man is ashamed of his prior life and do not mention his race because he does not like that to be brought to bear either. Maybe if we do not illustrate these qualities they will go away.

You do a great job and I always enjoy you. Have a smashing week, stay safe and healthy.

Paul from Indiana

If my middle name was Hitler, I would change it. Especially if I wanted to be president.

What message would it send if I kept it? It would be devisive of me NOT to change it. Or it would make me look like I was ignorant of history and peoples feelings.

Alisyn, Different topic – What is going on with the Weekend edition of F&F? Are Paige and Kelly out? Is this like an every 6 month thing where they bring in newer blood? I liked the team of Greg, Paige and Kelly a good mix of personalities.

Thanks,
Curtis

Why did my comment not go through? I don’t see it~do Y’all have certain rules about posting here? Did I say something wrong?

Oh, middle name Sheridan.

Alisyn,his name is Barack Hussein Obama,
what do you think when you see a name like that,
come on people.
Sal

Good Morning! I like my name, my parents named me with love, I am proud of my family and my heritage..Is Barack Hussein Obama proud of his family? proud of his heritage? Is he ashamed? It seems to me he does not reveal anything real or true of himself..

I am sure that people use Mr Obama’s middle name to stir up trouble. Like most people say, it doesn’t matter. Politics is always the same, if you don’t have something good to say about yourself, just attack the opponent. That gets old very fast. My middle name is Charles, after my father, and I am very proud of it.

Carla – lighten up girl. If you had that package I have no doubt you would be takin it to the bank.

Alisyn – faagetaboutit. (I’ll have to watch the legs more closely).

My first name’s Jacqueline, which I Love~My middle name’s Delores and, my GRANDaughter says, ewww Grandmother, I don’t like that. LOL

I think that John McCain’s middle name is Sydney. We get up every morning and watch you and your friends. Great way to start the day. Saludos to all.

Carla, you need to finish your morning coffee before your morning blog

Good morning Aly!

Regarding Obama’s middle name; no big deal. The big deal is that McCain is apologizing for it; why? It seems that Obama is off limits during this election. Did the NY Times apologize to McCain for their false writings?

I would like to vote for the candidate that comes forward and mandates that our Country’s language is English. I’m all about diversity, melting pots and such, however, if we don’t have our language to bind us I’m not sure what will make this country United going forward. Sigh….

Make it a great day,
C in RI

Over the years middle names tend to get used after the person is elected.
Examples: John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Ronald Wilson Reagan,
George Herbert Walker Bush, William Jefferson Clinton. We didn’t know what most
of these folks middle names were until after elected, by then the middle name tended
to be used more.

My middle name is Emery,which was my mother’s maiden name.I’m proud of it,I was very fond of my grandparents.

Morning Alisyn, We think you’re great! I think there is something wrong with a man who is ashamed of his family, his name and his heritage. I am proud of my Italian/Catholic heritage and my middle name is after the Blessed Virgin Mother. Who was he named after? Perhaps he should change his name. He’s not ashamed of doing drugs! He’s not ashamed of his anti-semetic church affiliation! I am ashamed of John McCain for apologizing for someone else (who said nothing wrong)

Good Morning

Who cares what his middle name is? It’s just a name. I am more concerned with his ability to govern not what his name is.

As a side note- I do think the media is playing up to him in a big way. I agree that skit on SNL was hilarious because it is so accurate. yes Hillary’s jab at the pillow was pretty funny.

Ron

I have my opinion about him and what his name tiggers in me & it is my opinion but I feel strongly about it! I was a firefighter with NYFD then & I if we saw that name on a piece of paper we would all look twice!

When I was expecting my youngest I was told it was a girl all the way though untill the head crowned the midwife says you best tink of a boys name justin case this is a boy, so sure enough it was a boy so I named him Justin Taylor H ,,,,,LOL get it Justin(case)

my middle name is Veronica how about you guys?

1st time on your blog. forgive me if I have sent too many comments..just want to tell you My son and I really enjoy when you are on..He does think you are sexy, I think you are really very funny and very quick with just the right answer..perfect for the job!

To stay with the topic my middle name is Allan, after my father. My son’s middle name is also Allan. The only time it gets used is when I am in trouble with someone, but I like and am proud of it because of the connection to my father who passed away when I was 14.

You do a great job on the show, thanks.

Aly, just heard your going to be on your office mates Happy Hour show. I will have to wait for the caps and vids because my satelite service doesnt have FBN yet. Give her my best.

Your very diplomatic with the haters that filter here. It’s amazing that they wont watch,and dont watch, yet they criticise. Why else would I get out of bed at 5am but for Alisyon Camerota.

Ed

How can you be so blind. Our names says alot about who we are. Our parents give us names depending on who we . Hussan is a muslin name and it says alot about who barack is. That was not a accident when he dressed up in that head dress. That is who he is. According to the korran that he goes by. We are the enemy and deserve to be destroyed, and this is who we are going to elect to be our next president. If you have forgotten these are the same people that blew up the twin towers. Shame on anyone that puts this person in office. GIVE ME A BREAK.

Alisyn,
I think the middle name outrage is so rediculous and to me is playing to Obama’s already over protected image by the press and rock star status among left wing hollywood worshipers circling Obama like moths around the stupid light. McCain needs to understand the Republicans didnt lose seats in congress because the Democrats were voted for, but Republican apologist were voted out. McCain could have risen above the frey and commented only on points he admires about Obama instead of insulting a conservative base by once again apologizing for conservative veiws. I’m more concerned over Obama’s empty “change”, no substance car salesman type speechs that draw people so shallow as to never question his association with Farrakahan and why it took so long for Obama to reject his support at an Islamic conferrence ,also Barrack’s association with the Church of Trinity and Rev. Jeremiah’s obvious racist veiws in which Obama excepts by being a member of that church. Its already started, the national press making sure McCain ( the apologist ) has the proper gloves on to handle the prince of hollywood and Oprah’s, Ted Kennedy and Louis Farrakahan’s endorsement.
I wonder how the families of 911 would react to have a President with the name Barrak Hussein Obama. Sorry to include the middle name. NOT!
By the way, Alisyn, I love you on Fox. You are classy and I absolutely have never thought you get too much camera. Matter of fact I would love to see more of you with the rest of the crew. Carla sounds like shes a little jealous and threatened by what a woman should look like. She left no doubt that she has no class in the rediculous attack on you personally. By the way,Carla said you try to be sexy. I dont think you try to be sexy you just are. I love the way you stand .

Obama’s middle name shouldn’t mean anything since he was not responsible for giving himself this name, his parents were.

BTW, whose bright idea was it from the McCain camp to give a “shock jock” a mic in the first place? Hope that person has apologized to McCain!

I have seen the video clips of Cameron and McCain on this issue. The clips on McCain cut off to early to know what he was apologizing exactly about. Was it “Hussian” or was it about Cameron calling Madeline Albright’s face the look of death. That is what I heard. Cameron did say Obama’s full name 3 times in a row in a very condenscening manner. That is perhaps what McCain was apologizing about, not so much about his middle name. I have not heard what Obama’s reaction has been about all of this. Perhaps his thinking is different from what the media is saying. I am sure that he is not ashamed of his middle name, but the condescension
of saying it is another matter. Also, I believe Cameron’s intention was to associate the name with Saddam. He is a boisterous loudmouth guy.

I don’t see a problem with using anyone’s middle name. If Obama becomes President what will they name his library? Wouldn’t it be the “Barack Hussein Obama” library?

My middle name is Arnold. I hope people don’t associate my middle name with Benedict Arnold

I would like to know where his middle name came from most names are giving to them from a family member. My middle name is lewis named after my father. Alisyn I think you are a Hottie, must be the Fox workout room where all that grunting is going on makes you workout fast to get out of there…lol. I hope the twins are doing well. I watced you quiver as Fox news showed the nanny cam it’s good to have a mother on the show to take up for the kids.

I really don’t understand all of this. This guy seems to be half this and half that, but the half the gets talked about is what is politically correct. Who cares what his middle name is, I want to know why he or anyone else calls himself “black” , when we are told he is half black and half white? Maybe I am misunderstanding all of this, but couldn’t we really call him white, but he wantes to be black? I don’t know, I am just amazed by all this crap over a guy that will send this country in downward spiral fster than Bill Clinton ever thought abuot, or Hillary could do on her own. This guy likes to blow in the wind like wind sock, and when the issues are tough he doesn’t show up. NOT the kind of person we need leading the country.

Alisyn,

After reading the last part of Carla post slamming you I loved your response. I would hate to see all the negative comments written about you by obsessed me and jealous women! You do a great job, you are very proffesional and I applaud you for being a mother of three and having a career also!

Keep it up! and about the middle name, I was given my grandfathers first name who ironically does not have a middle name lol

Ken

I don’t think it was Obama who was upset.

-Comment by Alisyn Camerota

Then once again, who is McCain apologizing to? If Obama wasn’t upset by it, then why is it an issue? I seriously doubt that the “Hussein” name had the connotations when the name was given to baby boy Obama, that is does now.

According to the internet: The name means the following:

Hussein male Arabic handsome one

http://baby-names.adoption.com/search/Hussein.html

Darn, Barack “handsome one” Obama, such an insult. (rolls eyes)

Hey Alisyn, I don’t think it really matters that his middle name is being used, but it is curious that the day after the picture of him on Drudge was posted, Cunningham does this. I applaud McCain for distancing himself from his comments and they are not necessary. BTW, is Tonya single or is she married? She’s completely transformed her look since she first went on OReilly’s show and she’s smokin’!!! )

Middle names are irrelevant. Of course the conservative radio host aimed to imply some sort of insidious connection bewtween Obama and islamic extremists. I saw the guy, briefly, on H&C last night and he appears to be a genuine, arm waving loony tune. It’s unfortunate that some people of that ilk, who call themselves “conservative,” are such numb skulls.

Anyway, I think a more interesting fact about Obama, which is entirely overlooked or at least never even mentioned, is that he is not just “black.” He is in fact half white and half black. However, he, his campaign and the media choose to play up the black side for its political advantage and impact.

But then, such is politics.

While in my opinion, Mr. Cunningham clearly made a fool out of himself yesterday, Barack Obama IS A MUSLIM and if he isn’t ashamed of it, what’s the issue here? It is Cunningham who has the problem, certainly not John McCain who “took the high road,” apologized for Cunningham’s embarassing conduct, and moved on. However, this leads us all to ask….Just who is Barack Obama, and at what point does the media stop touting him and DEFINE him and his position on CRITICAL issues DIRECTLY? I say: enough ass kissing, this Presidential election is NOT about illusions and fantasies, or some charismatic speaker and his brainwashing techniques. Get serious America, and wake up~~~~~~~
Alisyn….you are amazing; keep up the fine journalism work that you do every morning~

Bill Cunnigham not too long ago got stuck on the roof of his house and had to call 911 to help him get down. THIS shows his IQ.

Bill Cunnigham not too long agao got stuck on the roof of his house and had to call 911 to help him get down. This shows what his IQ is. He tends to run his mouth 90% of the time about things before he gets his facts straight.

fox has the hottest women with the shortest skirts . very hot fox

ok who really cares if barack obamas middle name is hussein, they are putting it out there as some ugly meaning name,meant to make him look bad,
well for those who dont know.
THE MEANING OF THE NAME HUSSEIN IS “GOOD LOOKING” AND IT FITS HIM AS WELL.
by the way my middle name is bella,

What do you mean names don’t mean anything of course they do . Most parents put alot of thought into naming their babies. Hussein says alot about who barack is. He is a muslin and it was not an accident that he dressed up in that headgear. Accoding to the karron we are the enemy and deserve to be destroyed. Anyone that is not a muslin doesn’t deserve to live. If you have forgotten these are the same people that blew up the twin towers. SHAME ON ANYONE THAT PUTS THIS PERSON IN THE WHITEHOUSE. GOD HAVE MERCY ON OUR SOULS.

A person’s middle name is a complete non-issue. The important thing in an election is a candidate’s political philosophy and actions supporting it. The “campaign of irrelevance” merely shows how much “Frick and Frack” or “Pete and Repeat” that ALL the candidates are guilty of committing. I guess we could say that the Democrat’s contest is between Barack Clinton and Hillary Obama.

Alisyn,

I just read some of the comments about the skirt police. I hope you guys continue to wear skirts and ive never seen anything that was inappropriate unfortunately,haha. Ermmm the only horror I would have is if Steve and Brian had short skirts on lol.

Senator McCain’s apology was appropriate in the context that Bill Cunningham chose to sensationalize Senator Obama’s middle name for effect. If you watch the ‘warm up’ by Mr. Cunnigham it is clear he is trying to stir up emotions and heighten the energy of the crowd. To add to his sensational flair Mr. Cunningham has announced his new support for Senator Clinton due to Senator McCain’s apology. Shock jock extraordinaire!

My middle name was long beleived to be “you idiot” as that often followed my first name after doing something wrong.

Dear Alisyn, we all now why the Clinton and McCain Campaigns tried to paint Barak as someone who empathizes with Muslims…POLITICS. I can’t even say that word without feeling dirty…ick!

The fact is that not all Muslims are terrorists and not all terrorists are Muslim. I can’t help but remember the many Muslims list as “Righteous Among All Nations” at Yad Vashem. During WWII and the Holocaust, many Muslims protected, and saved the lives, of Jews during that horrible period. Just goes to show you, there is good in all people.

Aligning Barak with his Muslim heritage is supposed to place him at a disadvantage because his political challengers cannot compete with him on the issues…its an old political trick…Namecalling.

This tactic is as successful as calling HRC a mean, intransigent, postmenopausal, socialist who would have never risen to the level in politics without marrying a lying, immature, chameleon and narcissist. That would be inappropriate and personal…I would never do that.

Shalom Aleichem, Mark P.

The use of Obama’s middle name was a purposeful attempt to degrade him; however, I think it may have misfired. More importantly, have those anti-McCain vets forgotten about Germany, Korea, Japan and a host of other “occupied countries?” Incidentally, many families love to live in foreign countries for a time.

Hi, Alisyn: This is my first time to “blog”. On the middle name thing…..I know it is ridiculous, but Obama’s middle name does stir up some fear in the back of my mind. I’m sure this was the intention. On other things, YOU are hilarious! I absolutely love your sense of humor and you are so sharp as well. I wish you and Gretchen would share your workouts, seriously! How often do you exercise? I need some inspiration!

Good morning Alisyn

I have to add a conspiracy theory to this latest dust up. I think they planned this out with the talk show host. He gets some publicity, McCain gets to be “above it all”. In politics, there are no coincidences. As for the middle name issue, i never heard Obama complain about it, so what’s the big deal? Why did McCain apologize? One more reason to make me suspicious. One last thing, I remember the first time you were on fox on friends as a substitute host back in 99 i believe it was. As for the people criticizing you for this reason or that reason, ignore them. Keep doing your thing.

Have a good one

Ali,

I have a question for Gretchen about a word she used the other day. I can’t remember it – that is the question. But, I know what it means – the word describes adding too many steps to a process to make the process more difficult, i.e. more complicated rather thather than easier. I sent her an email but I suspect it went into the digital bit bucket. Thanks.

I am disgusted with the McCain apology. His loyalty again is shown to be with the liberal’s not the conservatives, Cunningham implied nor said anything wrong in his speech.
Disgusted Im calling the McCain campaign and complaining: 703 4182008

Alisyn –

Didn’t Carla break the rules … because she mentioned Gretchen being sexy when she said you were not ??

You guys looked great today … I thought you had a dress on til you stood up & I saw it was a two piece outfit … What kind of fabric was Gretchen’s suit made out of?? It looked good … But, depending on the camera angle/lighting, it looked like satin, silk or leather … LOL

Re: The Starbucks stunt from yesterday … Howard Schultz recently reclaimed the position of CEO and he’s not happy about profits falling … Thus, the creation of the PR stunt to get people back into the stores … Hey, you could always pay him a visit in the SODO District next time you come visit Mt Baker (which is currently sitting at 168-183 in base) …

sorry my fingers just go crazy when I feel so strongly FDNY s whatI was meant to type

Alisyn

Since this was a warm up to a speech to his supporters I believe the use of the middle name was a non issue. Apologizing for it was catering to the drive by news media who covered the session. But not enough of an issue to declare support for Hillary.

My middle name was Morton. “When it rains it Pours” I was named after my two grandfathers and I think God every day my mom chose the name John Morton. It was only used by them when I was in trouble. My Grand Fathers names were Timolian Morton and John Eli. You can see why I am grateful.

You are my favorite person on Fox. Not only are you a pretty face but you are a true professional. A serious newscaster with a personality behind the smile.

What’s in a name it’s your statement to the world it’s represents who and what you are America has got a bad case of stuipds right now to even be looking at someone like obma or hell clinton how stupid is America gona go I wish the new all the news was off the air for one year and i believe America would take care of their own and start to get right the media is the worst enemy we have the the muslins but that’s not gona happen so lets start telling the truth the fact are fact clinton is to stupid to be our leader obama was raised a muslin tring to fake a christian now his church don’t even have a open door to all races they don’t encourage whites to come to there church i I’m a christian and i would love to convert all the muslims to THe Lord Jesus Christ but that’s not what the want at that church so it’s not really a Christian church this nation was founded on a belief that THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is the God of the Bilbe america needs to get unstupid and come to knowledge of the truth there is a lot in a NAME and we are in a religious war with muslims wake up America

Wonder what it would be like to live with a body language expert…..

What is all this talk about skirts and legs? It is not like Fox & Friends has turned into the very popular Naked News, which cost a pretty penny to watch!

My middle name is Joseph, after my father. I feel very honored to carry it.

I watch a lot of news and there is nothing wrong withe preferring to hear from a very cute blonde, instead of an old guy with gray hair. Keep at it!!

Alisyn,

Middle name is totally irrelevant. It just amazes me that sensationalistic blowhards such as Mr. Cunningham have to make such a statement to get people to listen to him.

I have a very common middle name, Alan, and it was given to me because my mother and father were watching the comedian Alan King on TV when Mom started to go into labor. And today is my Mom’s birthday. Hello Irene Nash in Claymont, Delaware!

never cared for that constant gigling Gretchen does, kind of sounds a lot like the same one Hillary uses.

i am from the cincinnati area and know bill cunningham very well from his radio show. he tells it like it is. at first, i thought it was wrong that he did the introduction he did for obama. then i listened to him on hannity and colmes, and changed my mind. i think people need to stop tip toeing around obama and stop worry about being so political correct and start asking questions about who this guy is. bill cunningham got me thinking about that and i hope in the course of the campaigns we will find out who obama his and where he stands, and seeing some substance behind his “change” rhetoric. i don’t think it is wrong at all for bill cunningham or anyone else to use barracks full name. if barrack cares, then i wonder why

Alisyn,
This comment is not really on topic and I expect only the intern who drew the short staw today will read it. I want to comment on the Fox News website.

This morning on foxnews.com, the large picture was of a python swallowing a dog! This makes me ill to look at. In addition, we have our computer at home set so that our ‘home page’ is foxnews.com and my 7 year old daughter opened the site and screamed. She is extremely upset, as are we all now.

“It’s not my job” is not a good answer, so please do not reply if that is all you can come up with. You COULD say something to someone in authority at Fox News. You have more contacts that we do.

To the intern who (may have) read this: I hope your school mascot is able to stomp on all the other mascots this football season!

If he’s ashamed of his middle name he should change it.

If he’s ashamed of his heritage, he should say as much.

This guy wants to be reinvented for convenience sake.

alisyn this is my first time so be gentle i feel that there is to much walking on eggsheels when irt comes to obama it seems that anything that is said gets treated as if it should ran by his camp before being released personally i feel obama is a smart articulate man but do not see him in any way ready to be president of our great country that said the —hole that said you are to full of yourself that is jealousy pure and simple you are the whole package beautiful witty charming and i know i said it but when i said witty you are very quick and have an amazingly street smart and book smart wit anyway i look foward to six am every weekday keep up the great work and never let anyones jealousy slow down that fabulous wit see you in the morning take care i hope all is well with you and yours later

McCain did the right thing; but I doubt he’ll receive much credit for doing so. The more important statement, lost in his racial diatribe, was “who is Barack Obama”. The mediaa, in general should be asking lots of questions of this man – as they should McCain.

i think the majority of america is ready for an african-american prez, but i don’t think we are ready for a muslim prez, and that’s stated with all due respect to muslim americans. give us another generation and i think the sentiment will be very different. we’re a wonderful country that is in a constant state of evolution, mostly for the better.

bo’s middle name is said to reinforce the fact that we are not ready for muslim prez, or fruit that fell not too far from the tree of Mohammed. and unless he can convince the general electorate of his patriotism to the U.S., i don’t think he will do well in the gereral election.

Alisyn,
I am a faithful fan of yours, you are so graceful!!

Please ask Obama when you have him on the show again how he feels about Israel. He attends a church where I understand his pastor has little or no respect for Jews. I am not Jewish but if Obama has the wisdom to lead our country, why would he continue to attend a church that is aganist the Jews and preaches aganist whites? If this is true, as Hannidy has often pointed out, I seriously doubt that Obama has the wisdon to be a true leader.

Names have always meant something and we have the right as voters to know all we can about this man or anyone running for President including their middle name.

Thanks

Alisyn:

From the expectations point-of-view:
Cunningham was never expected to emphasize Obama’s middle name by the McCain handlers when they brought him on. This was unforeseen and disturbing to them.

From the politcal point-of-view:
McCain’s apology WAS A MASTER STROKE OF GENIUS!
His apology, attached to an event that will get a great deal of news coverage, NOW MAKES OBAMA SEEM FRAGILE TO MEN ALL OVER THE WORLD, particularly White and Hispanic men who consider themselves above this type of challange to their sense of Machismo.

Take it to the Bank!

Ok, so what is the big deal with the middle name? There have been times in my life I went by my middle name at work. Actually now I go by G3 as I am the third gary in an office of 12. But so what. I am sure there are many great people who have had the middle name Adoph, Josef, Fidel, etc. A name is just what we call something and does not actualy discribe the personality of that thing. To quote Shakespeare “”What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”

And as far as Alisyn looking great, and or showing off her legs, well if you got it flaunt it. I sure as heck don’t want to see Brian’s legs. Maybe Hannity and Colmes can come in one day in Kilts. Nah, keep it the way it is.

I live in Cincinnati and the person who is in the middle of all this is one of our local radio talk show hosts who thrives on getting people in an uproar. I’m not sure who’s idea it was for Mr. Cunningham to be a part of the rally for John McCain but obviously they didn’t do their homework. Mr. Cunningham is well known for his outrageous comments. If Obama’s middle name was anything other than Husssein it wouldn’t be an issue. Obama didn’t choose his name, it was given to him by his parents. Unfortunately, it happened to be the name of someone whom the entire country came to know as a horribly evil person. Plus, it’s a well known name in the Muslim world. That’s the correlation that Mr. Cunningham is going for. I think it’s rediculous and it’s too bad that the media has made such a news story out of it. Exactly what Mr. Cunningham lives for. As for John McCain’s comments about it, I don’t think he needed to apologize for the comments but if he hadn’t we would be talking about that today.

Hillary Rodham Clinton? His name is Barrack Hussein Obama. What is the big deal? This election is so far afield from the issues facing the country.

If a name that your parents gave you is offensive or frightening to some Narrow Minded people, it’s Their Problem, NOT yours ! People need to Vote because of the Issues ! I’d Vote for a Bald Headed, One Armed Paper Hanger named Jack Hitler Ripper if he were running for the Good of the American People.

Isn’t all fair in love, war and politics? I don’t think it will have any impact further down the road… It seems that what ever has come up in the last couple weeks, is soon old news a day or so later anyhow.

Its not the public’s fault or that Radio commentator that Obama gave him that middle name. If he didn’t like he should of changed it along time ago. If he is named after someone he should be proud of it. If its used so be it. The media makes a bigger deal of it then he does. But that goes back to the bias that the media displays- excluding Fox news of course. CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC are all jokes when they say they are fair and they report accurate information. The media should grow bigger shoulders and quit worrying about Obama’s middle name being used, he is an adult let him handle it.

By the way not only does Fox has better accurate news coverage, they have the best looking and are the best in the world. Sorry CNN.

This is from Nicholas Thomas Peter Francone,

Carla should get a life…Alisyn you are both intelligent and professional, you can’t help it if you are also drop dead georgeous.

To Ken Wilcox: I wrote the “sex it up” comment yesterday but I would hardly get that from Dan Abrams. I am a loyal Fox News watcher who had a, I beleive, legitimate question as to why the Fox news ladies always wear short skirts or dresses. I thought it may be some kind of policy at Fox but Alisyn has dispelled that notion and I accept that. And believe me I wasn’t complaining. One wonders if I am the only one that has ever questioned that?

Bill Cunningham is a jerk and McCain was right to distance himself from such silliness.

Ali, I think Carla Hopkins is jealous of you!

Barrack Hussein Obama, Jr would not be a bad name if he were running for President of certain Mid East countries – but as President of the United Statews – NO THANKS!
McCain should appologize to Mr Cummingham. It the middle name has no significance, then why is Obama’s middle name off limits?

If John McCain’s middle name were “Hitler” or “Castro” or “Stalin”, you’d be hearing it all the time. Regarding those who are upset that Obama’s middle name was used like this……… the hypocrisy demonstrated in their unrighteous indignation is both sad and funny.

I heard tell that Alisyn Camerota’s middle name is ‘Wonderland’. Is that true?

Hillary is always referred to as Hillary Rodham Clinton,not just Hillary Clinton-
A news event earlier, showed Obama in a Kenyan dress,implying a Muslim association-
The radio talk show host was making the same Muslim association-
The Clinton camp was the one that benefited from this remark-

If Barack’s middle name was Robert or James etc., Cunningham would not have mentioned it. It is obvious he was trying to associate Barack with Saddam or being a Muslim, probably the latter. Just another example of dirty politics and I am disgusted with all of it. I do not support Barack but he does not support the dirty digs.

By the way my middle name is Elias, named after my grandfather. It is a bit unusual and seldom used but I am still proud of it.

P.S. I watch Fox and Friends First every day (Tivo), I’m 77 years old and my daily dose of Alison charges my battery. You’re hot Alison and I love you.

I’ve been listening to Bill Cunningham throughout this campaign season and he’s always referred to Obama using his entire name. Fair? Well, if Bill injected a made-up slur as Obama’s middle name, then there would would be an issue here for which McCain should apologize, but since Hussein IS Obama’s middle name, there’s no foul. It’s a major irony that as the media makes Obama’s given name out to be some racial / ethnic slur, the Republicans feel they have to apologize for speaking it. Of course then there’s Obama who willingly accepts the irony and the edge his middle name gives him in this world of political correctness run amuck. How would we treat this if Obama’s first or last name were Hussein? Are we supposed to take from this experience that a Muslim name a bad thing to speak? Or, is it just the name “Hussein” that is problematic? Why isn’t “Obama” a slur (it IS pretty close to “Osama”)? Geez…beam me up…this is insane!

This man is running for the higest public office in this country. We should know his middle name. Why is this artical and the press affaid to mention it?

The question should be, why is it noteworty that someone said Barack Obama’s full name? It’s incredible that saying someones name is news. Also, how irronic that over the years McCain has cursed up a storm on the Senate floor and offered no sincere appologies yet here he appoligized for someone else because they said a persons middle name. McCain is like a Weeping Willow, tryin to bend in every possible direction to make sure he doesn’t offend anyone.

As mentioned in the prior comments of others we have Ronald Wilson, George Herbert Walker, William Jefferson and even a derogative “W” on countless bumper stickers meant for our current President. To my recollection, none have ever publicly mentioned a dislike for the use of their “middle monikers”. Why don’t we just let Barrack Hussein Obama bring up any disdain he might have for the use of his true ‘names’ and then we can inquire the base reason why HE would want it halted or stopped.

My middle name is above, just for fun, I’ll use it.

Sometimes middle names are used…George Washington Carver, as an example, or Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In 2 of my examples, its because you were named after a historical figure, “George Washington” or “Martin Luther”, that hte full name is used…Martin King would sound strange.

Barrack Hussein Obama. It’s because Hussein is infamous as a name….but it wouldn’t have to be infamous, merely famous, and it would be appropriate to use.

Use the name…its the perception of the name that will change, not of the man.

I am appauled that Barak Hussein Obama has duped half of the voting population of America into believing that he is the best candidate to be president of the most powerful nation in the world! What is wrong with you people? Have you forgotten what happened on 9-11 ? Barak Hussein Obama was born to a muslim father. In Islam, this makes him a muslim regardless of WHAT he tells you and me. I suggest you all read the Qur’an for a real eye-opener and in particular, Surah 3:28 which gives muslims permission to lie.

Sorry for what? I am tired of the media and his opponents being so soft on Obama. They hammer every other candidate, including Hillary, but they treat him like the Messiah! Why don’t we just forget the election and bow down at Obama’s feet now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Alisyn Lane and what a nice middle name.
My middle name has an interesting story to it so here it is: Hayes and my grandfather and father all have the same name as I’m the III. The point about the name Hayes is not a family name but shortened from Hayesville in SE PA where my family used to live.

Let’s see…his middle name is Hussein. His father is a Muslim, his step father is a Muslim and he was educated at a Madrass in Indonesia. Muslim’s say that makes him a Muslim. Oh, but he claims to be a Christian, forget the whole thing!

If that’s his name, that’s his name, live with it and deal with it!

Laura,

Do you mean this translatio? 3:28 Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah.

Come on here. Not all Muslims want to destroy the United States. There are many sects with theIslamic Religions. I have many friends that are Muslim and trust them with my life. I have many friends that Christians who I would never trust. Does that mean all of them? No!!. But lets not generalize. Then again I am a Mason, so I must want to take over the world.

hi Alisyn,

l agree that one’s middle name should not matter but it’s the context and the intention in which the name is being used by non Obama supporters that really gets to me. Obviously the intent is to take people back to their 911 fears .This was really uncalled for. He is the only candidate that his middle name is used. i have not seen anyone call John McCain or Hilary Clinton by their middle name (this just shows the intention clearly)

But on a more serious note, no one can choose who their parents will be and where they will be born and most especially what their name (first , middle or last names for that matter) will be. Why are they being petty? It is a complete turn off for me with the middle name thing and the picture of him visiting Kenya that is circulating. This just reminds me of bullying in high school where they make fun of your name . We as americans and parents need to send a clear message to our Kids and the world that we are fair

l thought the major concern for all the presidential candidates will be the economy , healthcare , foreclosures , poverty , education and l can go on and on but they just seem to focuse more on name calling , sex scandals and so on. I will like to see for a change a clean election process where we pay attention to the people. I agree with Ms Clinton’s comment last night about moving forward. We need to learn from our past and move on making the necessary changes to better our future for us and for generations to come.

Finally a big thanks to you Alisyn for your great work.

Why use Senator Obama’s middle name? Because it is the worst sort of demagoguery by a small stupid spiteful individual who thinks there are large numbers of folks who will be affected by it. Come to think of it, he may be right…think about all the “Bush planned 9/11″ believers.

I don’t have a unique middle name…just too many. My full legal name is Robin George John Arthur Harvan; a downside of having a Brit mother.

BTW, Alisyn, when you were at AU, were you a dorm rat or did you live off campus? I lived in McDowell Hall my first two years, then moved over to some apartments off Hillandale Road in Chevy Chase.

Rob Harvan

Carla must be gay! She sure is no expert on who’s sexy!

Maybe Obama’s Middle Name Really Matters

Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama is saddled with an unfortunate middle name, “Hussein.” Not only is it the name of one of the most brutal and belligerent dictators in the last century, it also has connotations that might sugge…

The use Hillary Rodham Clintons name dont they??? Is he ashamed of his middle name? Does HE think something is wrong with it? His middle name is: Hussein He does have a Muslim baskground..is he ashamed of that?

I THINK we really need tokeep our eyes open on this guy.

[...] Fox’s Alisyn Camerota – Middle Names? [...]

Barak Hussein Obama was born to a muslim father. In Islam, this makes him a muslim regardless of WHAT he tells you and me..LAURA is correct on this. People need to be aware of this.

no, I dont think that it’s a big deal to have Obama’s last name.

HELLO laura,

Are you telling me that all muslims are bad? i am just trying to undserstand your logic here. He was born to a muslim father but raised by his mother as a christian.
hmmm, i can’t believe that in 2008 , we still have people that are this ignorant. George Bush is a christian and see how we got played with the weapons of destruction in iraq . Religion does not matter when it comes to telling lies. You have a right to your opinion but the least you can do is to be fair . I feel you have just insulted a portion of the american people that are muslims ……….we have american soldiers that are muslims fighting in iraq and other countries and all you can say is “the quran allows them to lie” calling their dedication to thsi country a lie. All l can say is l feel sorry for you. You are stuck in the wolrd of fear of muslims you have created for yourself.
When some americans went to cambodia for child sex (ref MSNBC INVESTIGATES) , no one in the world is calling us all “child(ren) sex predators” . We need to be more careful on how we label others. What goes around comes around if not in your lifetime , but maybe in your childrens’ .

No his middle name does not matter. His positions as posted on his own web site are what give me pause.

I agree 1000% with Laura above in her amazement that the American public could be duped into thinking a person with Obama’s lack of experience is somehow qualified to be president of the most powerful nation in the world.

His entire campaign is one short sound bite — “change” — change what, change it why, and change it to what is NEVER addressed. This man is an empty suit who has lived a life of privaledge and has a wife who has never been proud of the USA until her husband gained notoriety — PLEEEEEZE save us all.

Also, Barak, what about 9/11? If Al Queda didn’t tell you clearly enough that day — I will repeat what your muslim brothers screamed loud and clear — they DO NOT want to talk — they WANT the US dead….. The other person you’d like to speak with, the president of Iran, says the same thing when speaking to his own people — Iran is not interested in anything but the destruction of Israel and the US. Do you think they are kidding? Did you see any of 9/11? You remember, people jumping to their death from 100 floors up, the Pentagon in flames, BRAVE (oh, Mrs. Obama, and PROUD) Americans sacrificing themselves so that another plane didn’t hit Congress? Any of this coming back to you?

To place such a man in the position of Commander In Chief would be a slap in the face of all of the PROUD American heroes in uniform currently fighting in a just war. His plan? Cut their funding.

Middle names are often a family reference; people often name their children to honor an ancestor or family member, which presumably might refer to Barack’s Muslim paternal lineage. His atheist maternal family obviously didn’t object. There is no reason not to mention any candidate’s middle name unless they are ashamed of it.

Laura is right. Muslims have permission by thier own holy book to lie to non-Muslims.

Really, though, politicians lie regardless of race, creed or religion. I haven’t heard anything substatial from Obama about how he’s going to create this great “change” his is referring to. I don’t think he even knows – except to raise taxes and move our republic to a socialist form of gov’t (because it has worked SO well every where else in the world?). Sometimes, I don’t think he even understands (or any Presidential candidate) how our gov’t works in the first place. These guys are acting like they are running for king. Sorry, Congress is still there.

If Obama doens’t like his middle name he can change it. Otherwise, it’s fair game. We need to know who the people are that are running for office not just listen to the empty garbage they spew from their mouths.

I’m sure if Barrack’s parent’s knew the times we’d be living in now and that their son would be running for president, they would have given him a middle name like Bill or George! Anything but Hussein!

Looking forward to seeing you, Aly, on “Happy Hour”…It’s a very unique show!

Carl’s a bit jealous, I think!

Bill Hewitt, Laura, and the rest of the Muslim Phobics out there…Get over your selves. I Have an italian middle name and that makes me no more Italian than Hussein being muslim. It’s this type of ignorance and discrimination that needs to be changed. Obviously some of you need to do a little more research and you will find that Barack is not Muslim. And if he was “SO WHAT”. He was raised by his White mother but many of you fear-mongers can’t see past the color of his skin. Hatred in America will never go away but I just pray that common sense and open mindedness will override the ignorance and hatred of a few. Try reading Barack’s books and maybe you naysayers will gain insight of the man he really. What you see is what you get. He is very genuine. Some of you bloggers are not seeing what millions of people around the world see. He truly would not be leading this campaign if there wasn’t something special about him. These type of people doesn’t come that often.

P.S. Bill Hewitt, you might want to do spell check next time.

I do think that a name means something that is relative to your family history or religion etc. I would have definately dropped that name if I were running for the highest office of the land as a “Christian American”. I am sure he expects some controversy over it.

I am noticing that people are a little testy today however, you are doing a great job of responding to them. Keep up the “sunny outlook”.

Alisyn,

My middle name is Wade and that is the name that I use for everyday use. My first name is Charles and why I am not ashamed of it and I do like it, I choose not to use it. The main reason being that most of the time especially when eating out at a restaurant and paying with a credit card, everyone wants to call me “Chuck” and I have never really been fond of that name. (reminds me of Lucy calling Charlie Brown “Chuck”)

On to a different point. I think the ones bashing your dress and your looks may have a little bit of the green eye. I think you look great! Not only sexy, but professional. Ha, I think my wife gets a little jealous of you from time to time(j/k, she is truly a good sport about it and a fan of yours) She thinks that you and Gretchen are both very pretty. I wake up at 5 everyday to watch. Why else would a man sacrifice an hour of sleep? Keep up the great work. All the people at F&F are the greatest.

Susan, Please be quiet. You are letting people know how truly ignorant you are everytime you write something on this blog.

AT A TIME WHEN WE ARE AT WAR WITH TERROR CELLS WHO DECLARE A HOLY WAR UPON US, I THINK IT IS NOT ONLY FAIR BUT IMPERITIVE THAT WE ARE AWARE OF A NAME THAT EVEN SUGGESTS MIDDLE EASTERN TIES. I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY STUPID OF US NOT TO LOOK AT THE BACKGROUND OF ANY CANDIDATE WITH A NAME, MIDDLE OR NOT, THAT SUGGESTS THAT THERE COULD BE TERRORISTS TIES THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE AT WORK TO UNDERMINE OUR FREEDOM. I WOULD SAY THE SAME THING IF HILLARY CLINTONS MAIDEN NAME HAD BEEN HUSSEIN. AND IF THERE ARE NO DANGEROUS LINKS TO SENATOR OBAMA, HE AND A “FREE PRESS” SHOULD NOT MIND THE ADDED SCRUTINY TO INSURE THE SAFETY AND THE FREEDOM OF OUR COUNTRY. AND I DON’T THINK THAT SENATOR OBAMA WOULD WANT IT ANY OTHER WAY, SINCE HE SAYS HE ALSO HAS THE BEST INTERESTS OF AMERICA AT HEART.

What about George Herbert-Walker Bush and Ulysses S Grant? Ever heard of John Fitzgerald Kennedy? Franklin Delano Roosevelt? Middle names have been getting used in reference to presidential nominees since longer than any of us has been alive. It’s perfectly fine to use his middle name, so long as you are not doing it as a fear tactic. That is simply racist.

Someone pointed out that parents generally put a lot of time into naming their child, and in this case, I believe Barack’s name tells us a lot about his parents’ belief system. Does that automatically mean that Obama takes those beliefs as his own? No, but there is a saying that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

I think that it is important that people be aware of his heritage and that his middle name is a clue to that part of who he is. It doesn’t mean that we should judge him based on it, but we do need to condider ways in which his values might be different from what we would typically call American.

Personally, I am very proud of my middle name. I wasn’t born with it, but changed it as a tribute to the women in my family who preceded me in birth.

Obama’s middle is Hussein. It won’t affect my vote which will be for McCain for various reasons including experience and not just telling people what they want to hear. BTW McCain is John Sydney McCain III.

His middle name only matters because of what his middle name is.
It really should not matter, but it might..
Frankly I am surprised that he has made it this far with his name…. Obama sounds WAY TO MUCH like Osama
Maybe us Americans are growing up a little..
A nice thought but highly unlikley…

Further, I think Mcain handled himself very well in light of the rederic going on around him in Ohio.

I don’t see any problems with emphasizing his middle name. People need to know about the persons vying for the presidential position.

The problem I have is that he is so unpatriotic, and that is scary! How can we have a president that won’t say the pledge, or stand for our national anthem? How can someone live in this country, use and abuse all the privileges afforded them by all these heartless killers “OUR ARMED SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN” (I DON’T BELIEVE THEM TO BE), and think they can lead a people, let alone protect them IS BEYOND ME!!! This is makes me very angry. We have these discussions almost daily in our family.

The use of his middle name makes no difference to me. We aren’t responsible for what our parents named us. We are responsible for what we do with that name.

Thanks for listening
Ruth

Using Obama’s middle name is no more dirty politics than Obama’s using hollow words to make people feel good and feel inspired. Until such time that the issues start being discussed, you might as well fight superficial words with superficial words.

I really don’t think that Obama’s name makes a difference to what his politics are but I do know that if his name was John Smith he is still a dangerous politician. This country would sure change but not for the better. By the way I am not judging him by the color of his skin, his name or religion. Just thought I would let Tamika know that not everyone who is against Obama is a bigot.

I have been reading various blogs to get a feel of what others are saying about all of the candidates. If it’s interesting I’ll do some research on facts. Many are very impressive yet there are those where people didn’t read the story they just started typing. After reading every entry on this subject, some even twice the main point was left out. This was only mentioned maybe three times… BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA DIDN’T MAKE IT AN ISSUE THAT HIS MIDDLE NAME WAS MENTIONED…

The bottom line is ..If you don’t like Barak or any of the candidates then don’t vote.

Obama said his mother was a atheist not a Christian,ask him what he believed in before becomeing a Christian 20 years ago.You cant go to a Muslem school unless you are Muslem.Would we have elected a Japenese during that war?Who do you think is killing our Soldiers.His church now takes oath to Africa first,check it out.Ask him to say the pledge and leave God in it and see if he will.Have you ever heard him say God?He just put a bill to give UN more money and also to take away our small arms.Years ago our enemies said they would take the US without fireing a shot.Wake up and God help us all if you elect him.

I agree, not a big deal about middle names. Mine is very unique, and yet, I never get to hear someone say it out loud: Michaela – pronounced, Michael – a

And wanted to say – I love watching all of you every morning with my coffee at 6:00 AM – LOVE ALISYN – Fox & Friends would not be what it is without her! xoxox

Oh my GAWD!!! I have been a fan of Foxnews for years, because I fell it is fair and balanced. BUT!!!! There are so many people on here claiming knowledge of things they have no knowledge of. Just because he has Middle Eastern Ties, (Which he does not, he is Kenyan, look it up on a map Which is Middle Africa at best.) does not mean he is Darrel Issa is of Middle Eastern descent, doe that mean we should kick him out of Congress. And what about Danny Thomas? He was born Amos Alphonsus Muzyad Yaqoob, and was Lebanese. He started St. Judes Childrens Hospitals. Oh maybe they mean Muslims. Hmm Dave Chappelle is Muslim, does that mean he wants to kill all Americans? Omar Sharif is Muslim as well.

What about evangelical’s who have no idea what Jesus actualy said? They look at books in the bible and say it is the word of God, and yet have no idea what it really meant. I am more scared of religious types who don’t know what they believe and why the believe it. I know what I believe, and I know why I believe it.

Not every person in the Middle East wants to see us all dead. Not every person in the US believes in the hat that has been spilled out on these pages. Go look in the mirror and see the hate you claim to be against, staring back at you.

It would be really good if the candidates and the 24/7 media could talk about specific and issues INSTEAD of personalities and middle names and who did what 8 – 10- 20 years ago!

I want to understand what we are voting for – not who sleeps with who or who called the other a name. For Heaven’s sake, are we only interested in the DIRT or might we actually be voting for a person to lead the country ?

Don’t bother, unfortunately I already know what sells TV news and newspapers.

May God help us!

Barack Hussiein Obama may be a good name for a candidate for a country in the Middle East but not for the President of the United States.

Three names that my Mama always called me:

1. Mary.

2. Elizabeth.

3. Maiden name.

I think the full name of Obama should be used. America needs to know who is running for President, and this one says a lot about his Muslim ties.

Yes, I think middle names are important, if you were given one when you were born. However its my opinon that Obama is either ashamed of his name or he doesn’t want the American people to know his middle name because he does not want them to know that he is half Islamic-Muslin: that both his dad, (who went back to Africa and left Barrach and his mother here) and also his step dad were Islamic-Muslim and that his mother was a converted Islamic-Muslim, from Atheism. But both his first and last names can tell you his heritage, just not as well as his middle name.

YES, I DO THINK IT IS SIGNIFICANT – IT IS HIS NAME, IT IS AN ISLAMIC NAME, ANDHE WAS BORN AND BROUGHT UP UNDER THE ISLAMIC FAITH. (EVEN THOUGH HE LATER CONVERTED TO CHRISTIANITY, THE TEACHINGS OF HIS IMPRESSIONABLE YEARS STAY FOREVER). IT ALL FITS TOGETHER – JUST LIKE ANY OTHER ETHNIC NAME. IN LIGHT OF THE SITUATION OF OUR COUNTRY, I THINK IT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT.

I say we just get it all out in the open. I think we’re all still in the dark about where his loyalties really lie. Don’t tell me many of our muslim enemies aren’t salivating over the possibility of a President Obama. Maybe you have to be from the east to understand all the dynamics at play in a senario like this. What we don’t know can hurt us badly and its all too unclear for me. Bottom line: it’s not so much the name as what the name reveals that really matters.

Try this one on for size: Barnabas Bahjat Batarseh- vote for me!

Seems I recall Richard Milhaus Nixon, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, William Jefferson Clinton, George W. Bush, and George H. W. Bush…so get over it. What about Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis? The name can define who you are or your background.

His name should be a mute point really. Why would you want to vote for any muslim sounding name so soon after 9/11. Our memories are very short. Maybe in fifty years, not now.

Besides, do you really want to vote for someone who so clearly wants to change everything about
the best country in the world. Why do other people from countries with national health care come to the U. S. for surgery? Could the reason be that socialized health care will be like the ‘free’ clinics for most of us who cannot afford the Mayo Clinic? Why do immigrants, legal and illegal, want to come here? I do not see any of our leftist citizens fleeing the country to go to Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, China, or North Korea. Leftists talk the talk but do not walk the walk.

You guys need to take a good look at this guy and please do not bring race into the equation. He sounds good, looks good, yada, yada, yada. He wants to talk our enemies to death.

I suppose if George Bush was an eloquent speaker, we would not be having this problem.

I’m more concerned about the fact that he win’t or didn’t salute the american flag. Put his middle and the flag incident together and you’ve got it!!!!!!

I dont why they would need a middle name.

I dont know why they would want orneed thier middle name for seems kind of silly to me.

I dont understand why they would have to have their middle names and I have no clue what they are or if they even have a middle name.

McCain’s middle name is Sidney or Sydney depending on which website has spelled it correctly or not.

Alyson,

Just a quick story about middle names: my grandfather’s name was Aaron Philip Lindsey. When I was born, my mother gave me the name of James Philip Wills after my two grandfathers. All my life I was told that my grandfather’s name was spelled Philip with one “L” until I found his birth and death certificates one day which I discovered he had spelled his name wrong all his life. So, frustrated that my mom mis-spelled my name, I decided to check into things at the courthouse which I had never had a copy of my original birth certificate. I requested my birth certificate and low and behold my middle name was spelled Phillip with 2-Ls. So, after 40-years of living with it as Philip one L I wonder should I change it now? What’s in an L?
Thought you would find this neat.

Keep doing what you do. My dad and I watch you every day. We appreciate the Fox and Friends family very much!

Why does Obama hide his mother’s family? He has said his mother was “the dominant figure in [his] formative years. . .” then why do we not see where she came from, her roots. News programs have gone to Kenya where his father was from and spoken to his grandmother there, yet there is little media coverage about the woman who raised him and that part of his family. Is it so important for America to see him as a black man, not a interracial man that he hides half of himself?

Will political correctness allow the Chief Justice of the United States of America to call him Barack

Hussein Obama when he takes the oath of office in Jan ‘09? Think about it!!!!

God forbid, Jazz. I hope he’s never in a position to find out.

Alyson,

You guys are taking some serious heat over this segment on Media Matters, and the conversation is far from civil. Keep up the great work here at Fox & Friends – morning wouldn’t be the same without you!

If someone is running for American President, we should know everything there is to know about anyone running, including their middle name, Their parents full names, their habits and background, where they come from and who they played with growing up.

Hi Ali, Don’t care about middle names I had rather talk about how Beautiful you are, your wit, your personality,smile ,sexy body, beautiful legs, great dresser, just an all around great person of beauty. Love to watch you on Fox.Good luck in your career and by the way we could get married anytime you want LOL.

Why did Hillary Clinton drop the Hillary Rodham Clinton usage? She used “Rodham” (her maiden name) for years, and suddenly it is dropped. Could it have anything to do with her brothers?
