His name is Arabic; and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic, and so is Obama.report abusebrkrdude

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. Although Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya, his father's family was mainly Arab. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not an African Negro).report abuseYou must be a registered user of MaineToday.com to post a comment.
