Origin of the name Barack Hussein Obama.


We have heard so much constant attacks on Obama being a terrorist, Arab, or a Muslim from McCain supporters, media, and folks that are confused on who Obama is. Here is the origin of Barack Hussein Obama:


Barack: Barack's first name is both Swahili (as it is a part of Swahili lexicon) and Arabic (since it is Arabic by origin) which means blessed, prosperity, abundance.


Hussein: It is of Arabic origin, and its meaning is "good; small handsome one".

Obama: Obama is surname based on a given name from the Dholuo language spoken by the Luo people of Kenya. It is based on the verb "bam" meaning "bent", and probably refers either to an infant's arm or leg looking bent just after birth, or to the birth itself having been in the breech position.

For all you Christians out their just go to the Bible Judges 4:6 and you'll read that Barack was a Prophet of God's.

I listen to all these so called Christians use God's name to get votes yet they know nothing about God's words in the Bible. So sad.
