Barack HUSSEIN Obama

My hope is that the media refer to our President as
Barack HUSSEIN Obama (without the "all caps").

... NOT to emphasize the exotic name, but to get us used to it.

We've become quite comfortable with "Muhammad Ali", "Kareem Abdul-Jabbar", and "Pago Togafau" in the world of sports.
There's no reason we can't accept Barack Hussein Obama as a fully American name.

Have a nice day.
