Obama Not Hussein
Barack Hussein Obama made it official announcing that he is not Hussein and will, in fact, create an exploratory campaign for the 2008 Presidential election. There had previously been a considerable discussion as to whether he was or wasn't Hussein but today's announcement puts any further speculation to rest.
Clinton Welcomes Challenge
"We're delighted to see that he is not Hussein," said Hilary Clinton. "We were not sure and thought that maybe it would impair his 2008 bid. I'm not sure it changes the math much but it's great to have an African American in the race. Now I can quit being the minority," she added. 
Can Minorities Be Elected?
Both Obama and Clinton have been considered unelectable in the "red" states because they are minorities. They would need to win 22 "blue" states in order to take the Presidential title. Obama, for his part, disputed this claiming he has widespread support among Southern blue collar workers. "I can carry the South especially now that I am not Hussein. Slavery is over. My folks don't 'need' to work for 'the man' anymore," a confidant appearing Obama declared.
Being Hussein Is BadPolling data from ABC-NBC polls showed that the majority of Americans would not vote for someone who was Hussein. Only 13% would vote for such a candidate with 63% expressing severe reservations. Despite his appeal in Southern states, this would likely make Obama unelectable.
Doing the Lavendar State Thing
"We're trying to appeal to the whole population, not just those in the Blue states. We want the whole country to be lavendar," said the metrosexual Obama. "I'll go duck hunting, change my name again, do what ever is necessary to get elected," he reiterated.
Changes Name
Obama officially changed his name to Barack Saddam Obama from Barack Hussein Obama this week in his home state of Hawaii.
