Why the President was not called in full name in the inauguration ?

Barack Hussein Obama is the actually the full name of President Obama, but what we heard was “Barack H Obama”. It is an intentional announcement in the ceremony. This small part actually exposed Obama’s shying away from his differences which may not easily accepted by normal Americans or even special American, like John McCain. I am kinda feeling sorry to President Obama. He should use his full name and convince the people, H meaning Hawaii-born Christian instead of H in Saddam Hussein. There actually is no problem to be named as Hussein, which is a blessed name, from Semitic. Look at American history, there are so many famouse people used Semitic name, such as George Joulwan, Omar Bradley, and there is also Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, the medieval Spanish hero. Well, actually some American president’s names are derived from a Semitic language, such as Abraham Lincoln. I have to admit that this little part casts a small shadow on my heart, but I do hope President Obama could lead American out of recession.
