Yes, Hussein is Barack Obama's middle name. It should be noted that this is a very common name in certain Muslim countries; while Americans associate it with the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, people in those countries do not think it is a negative name at all. Barack Obama's father was born in Kenya, to a Muslim family. But by the time his son was born, Barack Senior was a non-practicing Muslim who had left the faith and become an atheist. But he gave his son his own name, and President Obama has never changed it. It should also be noted that internet myths which claim the president is a Muslim are false. He was mainly raised by his maternal grandparents, who were Protestant Christians.
