Hussein Obama

President Obama's middle name is in honor of his grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama.  “Hussein” is a derivative of the Arabic name Hassan, meaning “to be good,”  “Husayn” is the affectionate form.

After the landing on the moon, the U.S.A. fascinated the world one more time by electing an exceptional person B. H.O. as the president . I should recognize that I'm also surprised that the American president's father Hussein Obama , a smart hifhly educated person, who didn't have a real chance in Keynia or the U.S.A , got enough credit. I felt that not one single quality was mentioned about him in the news, except the superior studies. If a kid's character is determined in the first years of his life, doesn't Hussein OBAMA deserve also a more objective thorough look on his whole life?
i think this is the best multimedia video i saw yet because they talk about how Obama will change things. not just in America but in other countries too.
not that this is my favorite multimedia work, but it's very interesting. a new approach but i'm not sure if Dworzak has been able to pull it off visually strongly. i'm sure i read this work differently since i grew up in Iran and am familiar with all those iconography as well as farsi texts and the whole culture.
"Unclench your fist." There are times to rise up in protest and rebellion. There are times to defend yourself with all your force. There are times to clench your fists ready to swing and make contact. Today is time to unclench. It seems that Obama is promoting this. Let's hope. Perhaps this is the new American audacity. Greed and fundamentalism build fists. Unclench and offer a hand.
Thomas, mehr photografie bitte!
death to magnum in motion. this is horrible. it has the look and feel of propaganda. what's the story?
You can try to butter it up as much as you want but Hussein is a muslim name without any meaning and its the name of one of shiite muslim revered imams because he was the original martyr.
Very interesting angle. Good Work. Thanks
