    So Arab Americans will vote in part for Obama because his middle name is Hussein.

    (I'm glad I'm not the one that said that.)

    Brian: Where are you finding these guests? What's up - slim pickings because of all the hangovers from partying with corporate America last night?

    Does Arab American include people of all religous beliefs?

    i.e. is it only Muslims - or does it include Bahai, Christian Coptic, Jewish and Atheist/Agnostic Arab Americans?

    White Americans will vote in part against Obama because his middle name is Hussein. They will also vote in part against him because he is black.

    I am a white American and I would fully support a black President if it was someone who had a clue. I.E., not Obama!
