Barack Obama has a middle name familiar to many of us - and also rather unpopular. His middle name "Hussein" gives the impression he is somehow related to the sinister man called Saddam Hussein. Contrary to popular belief, however, Obama is an entirely American, non-muslum, non-al queda individual.

Barack Obama was born to a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya. His first name, Barack means 'one who is blessed' in swahili. Hussein likely comes from a past king of Jordan who reached out for peace. Obama is Barack's family surname.
