…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 w
