One simple matter comes down to three little words, and on them he has made up his mind: he won't shrink from using his full name when he takes the oath of office.
During the campaign, Obama's detractors would often invoke his middle name, Hussein, in an attempt to falsely paint him as a Muslim. Obama, a Christian, doesn't care.
"I think the tradition is that they use all three names, and I will follow the tradition," he said. "I'm not trying to make a statement one way or another. I'll do what everybody else does.''
Exactly. The fact that there was such a big shitstorm over his fucking name drives me up a wall, and I'm glad that he's not shrinking away from it or anything because it's, well, his name.

I love him even more for this.
