== Middle name usage ==
There's an edit I'd like to make, but I suspect it will be quickly reverted, so I'm initiating a discussion first.
My issue is with putting Barack HUSSEIN Obama in the blue banner atop the article. It seems clear that this is done because of unsavoury associations with that name. I say this because the bulk of other articles on presidents (and the index - [[
http://conservapedia.com/Category:Presidents_of_the_United_States]]) do not put their middle name in the top banner unless it was how they were generally known (William Henry Harrison, for example). I suggest that the Hussein be removed from the top banner, or every president's middle name should be displayed.
I imagine this debate has occurred before though. Is there any editorial rationale for including Obama's middle name in the banner, but not other presidents? [[User:Montecristo|Montecristo]] 11:34, 9 November 2009 (EST)
