"I have so many names. Call me dad"

John Milton, The Devil's Advocate


Here is an interesting and perhaps tortured bit about our dearest leader, father of us all, Barack Hussein Obama (peace be upon him.) According to Josh Rogan at Bloomberg:

"As we traded notes about the current U.S. policy on Syria, it struck me that they all had picked up the habit of referring to U.S. President Barack Obama as "Abu Hussein."

The nickname, the Syrians explained to me, has two meanings. Obama's middle name is Hussein, and it was his grandfather's first name. When Syrians first started calling him "Abu Hussein" in 2008, it was out of affection. ("Abu" technically means "father of" in Arab nomenclature, but is often used more loosely in nicknames.) The moniker grew out of hope that an American president with one Muslim parent might make progress in repairing U.S. relations with the Arab world. Obama himself had the same goal.

But since the Syrian crisis erupted in 2011, those opposed to the Bashar al-Assad regime have resurrected the nickname with quite a different connotation. "Amongst the Syrian street, Obama is viewed as having capitulated to Iranian and Shia extremist interests in Syria," said Oubai Shahbandar, a former senior adviser to the Syrian National Coalition. "Hussein is a venerated saint amongst the Shia Iranians. Hence Abu Hussein."

End excerpt.

So Barack Obama is known as "father to Hussein" in Syria. Interesting because his last name is, well, I am mindfull of Moammar Khadaffi refering to Obama as Abu Oumama. The word Oumama is Urdi and, according to Muslim Kid Names means:


Umama is a Muslim name for baby girl and meaning is Proper name..

Meaning in English, Proper name.
Meaning in Urdu,
Gender, Girl

End excerpt.

Umama is also an urban slang insult (yes, I am kidding; get over it!)

So Obama is father to both Hussein and Oumama, a little girl. Also, here is an interesting Wikipedia entry that may shed more light on the name:

"Umama (or Umayma) bint Abdul Muttalib was an aunt of Muhammad.

She was born in Mecca, the daughter of Abdul Muttalib ibn Hashim and Fatimah bint Amr al-Makhzumiya.[1]

She married Jahsh ibn Riyab, an immigrant from the Asad ibn Khuzayma tribe,[2][3] and they had six children.

1. Abdullah.[4][5][6][7]
2. Ubaydullah.[8][9][10]
3. Zaynab, later a wife of Muhammad.[11][12][13][14][15][16]
4. Abd, who was always known as an adult by his kunya, Abu Ahmad.[17][18][19][20]
5. Habiba, also known as Umm Habib.[21][22]
6. Hamna.[23][24][25]

It is not recorded that Umama ever became a Muslim, and she did not accompany her children on their Hijra to Medina in 622.[26] She was still alive in 628, when Muhammad assigned her an annual pension of 40 wasqs of dates from Khaybar.[27]

I found this for Hussein:

Hussein (/huːˈseɪn/; also spelled Husein, Husain, Hussain, Husayin, Hussayin, Hüseyin, Huseyin, Husseyin, Huseyn, Hossain, Hosein, Hossein, or Husseyn) (Arabic: حُسَين‎, Ḥusayn), is an Arabic name which is the diminutive of Hassan, meaning "good", "handsome" or "beautiful".

End excerpt.

So Barry's name has the connotation of a father but also of little girls and perhaps of beauty. Given certain rumors about Mr. Obama's preferences - and his attachment to masculine womyn - one wonders at the amazing fitness of his name.

So Il Duce has names associated with Umayma, the aunt of Muhammad, who was the daughter of Fatimah, a name recycled by Muhammad for his own daughter, MOTHER OF HIS GRANDSON hUSAYNE.

Then let us look at the Luo surname Obama. It comes from the root word for "to bend or lean" and is certainly fit for the man whose path is most crooked, who bends like a pretzel and leans all over us.

Then of course there is the name Barack. An obvious Arab version of Baruch, the Hebrew name meaning "blessed". (Frankly, if it isn't Baruch before Obama gets ahold of it it soon will be. He breaks every blessed thing he gets his hands on.)

Death by a Thousand Papercuts has a more detailed analysis:

"(1) The name Barack is a form of the Arabic word Baraka or Barakah, meaning blessing (from the root "Brk"), specifically, the "meaning of Barakah in an Islamic sense" refers to "the presence of divine blessing in an object and increasing those blessing." (http://forums.almaghrib.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=1121)

So what contains Barakah? The Qur'an and The Prophets, according to the following site.
(http://www.ilmfruits.com/things-that-contain-barakah/)

So where might find the name of a Qur'an prophet?

End excerpt.

DBATT concludes with this:

"The name Barack (blessing) prepended on the second name Hussein (grandson of Mohammed) modifies Hussein like an adjective, and Barack Hussein Obama literally means "Blessing of Al-Husayn" Obama.

Again, Al-Husayn was son of the muslim Prophet Mohammed's daughter Fatima (and Ali ibn-Abi-Talib,), who was massacred at Kerbela on October 10, 680.

The name Barack is Arabic in origin, and when isolated is not necessarily muslim. The name Hussein is muslim in origin, and when combined the name Barack Hussein Obama is muslim."

End excerpt.

But we're not done yet! This fellow has more names than an Indian statue has arms. We must now consider his pre-political monickers.

Barry is an Irish name, and what the family called Barack before he became the god of crooked lines. According to Behind the Names:

End excerpt.

Notice Barry is a variant of the Irish name Barach, a homonym of Obama's very own first name. Babynames.com claims the name Barry means "fair haired" but I also found it to mean "pointed or sharp" in the Gaellic word Barack. It is used in the connotation of a spear head or arrowhead. This may be coincidence, but Obama's mother was a student of Anthropology and an Irish-American lass who may well have known of the connection and called him Barry for just that reason.

Then too, it may be a variant on the word which means to house or garrison i.e. a barracks, which likely came from the Gaellic word for "to brag" - something quite fitting for Mr. Obama.

According to The Irish Times:

"Where I come from to barrack means to consistently interrupt a person who is speaking. In Ulster the verb means to brag, to be boastful of one’s fighting powers.

The English Dialect Dictionary (EDD) has, from Co Antrim, "One boy will say to another, ‘He’s only barracking.’” Hence barracker, a braggart; and the verbal noun barracking, bragging."

End excerpt.

Fitting for our President, indeed!

Another interesting possible etymology of the word:

" Barroughed is an interesting Co Antrim word, used for a cow having the hind legs tied together, or by tying the hind leg to an iron stake or pin driven into the ground. A cow tied by the horns was said in Co Down to be barroughed. I am told that the word is probably obsolete now in Ulster. Consider the Scots burroch, "a band put round the hinder legs of a vicious cow, when milking, to prevent her kicking.”

J Paterson’s Ballads and Songs of Ayrshire has "In the byre she’s aye cannie, nor e’er needs a burroch.”

The verb means "To fasten a cow’s legs to prevent her kicking. Hence burrochit, "restrained” and burrochless, "wild, untractable, without restraint.”

End excerpt.

Clearly old Barry is wildly unrestrained, and in need of a fettering.

But let us move on to Zippy's adoptive name Soetoro. The website lame Cherry has this to say:

"There has been so much written and conjecture on the forced out into the open Obama passport documents that I have not had much interest in exploring them in the name Soebarkah which appears on the document as one of the listed names of Barack Hussein Obama.

As an exclusive as only found here though, the name Soebarkah is a confirmation of adoption, Obama's Muslim status and a sort of strange Islamic prophecy of the day Barry was adopted by Lolo Soetoro in that it was not in the stars to last.

Soetoro in the name, in the prefix of SOE links the name to Javanese roots and not Indonesian alone. Why this matters is that Indonesian names reflect region, family and often religion. It is quite obvious or should have been by now in no one has noted it, that the name Soebarkah is a combination and not one word.
The name is Soe Bar Kah.

Soetoro signifies the adoptive father as Lolo Soetoro. Bar is obvious in Barack, but also links to the Islamic Aramic in bar means SON. So we have confirmation of this is the Son of Soetoro.

The Kah is interesting in Indonesian, KAH translates as WAS. In names, KAH is added as a suffix to form a question of "Who?"

So what SOE BAR KAH means is literal, and I'm genuinely surprised with even Indonesian "experts" asked to explain all of this, that none of them had any comprehension of the language of their own nation.


Soe Bar Kah means literally Who is this, but the son of Soetoro."

End excerpt.

This gives me a chuckle; it is reminiscent of the Biblical "I Am Who Am" . Soebarkah is listed on Obama's Indonesian passport as his adoptive name, and indicates he was adopted by Soetoro (and likely holds Indonesian citizenship.)

Lame Cherry goes on:

"This name Soebarkah is the legal document which would hold up in Indonesian courts as it requires no other documentation. It appearing on a US document signifies it was in use as Obama's defining name outside these United States."

End excerpt.

Here is a less fanciful interpretation of the name:

"Soetoro is a typical Javanese name, pronounced [sutoro]. As we saw in the case of the fancifully named Batman bin Suparman, the Su- or Soe- prefix (from a Sanskritic root meaning 'good, fortunate') is very common in Javanese names"

End excerpt.

And fortunate the man has been; completely unqualified to be President, Obama benefitted from the rise of political correctness and the reverse racism of modern America. He would, at best, be working as an adjunct professor somewhere, or more likely would never have received his law degree at all but instead would be working some middling job, perhaps a clerk at Fastscripts or whatnot, had he not benefitted from Affirmative Action and the slobbering praise of academia and the media.

Fortunate indeed!

I could go on, but I think I have spent enough time on this. The point is, Barack Barry Hussein Obama Abu Umama Soebarka Soetoro has a disturbingly large number of names, one more befitting a pharoah or some sort of pseudo deity.

Frankly I think the man should be called Hot Wind.

The title of this piece comes from a story by Arthur C. Clark - the Nine Billion Names of God. Look it up; it is well worth your time.
