Obama was on meet the press this morning. The views espoused ought to
change a couple of minds.[From Sunday's televised "Meet the Press"
Senator Barack Hussein Obama was
asked about his stance on the American Flag... Barack Hussein Obama
Explains National Anthem Stance Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST]

General Bill Ginn USAF (ret.) asked Barack Hussein Obama to explain
why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The
General also stated to the Senator that according to the United States
Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... During rendition of the
national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in
uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the
right hand over the heart. At the very least, "Stand and Face It."

Senator Barack Hussein Obama, live on Sunday, states, "As I've said
about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides,"
Barack Hussein Obama said. "There are a lot of people in the world to
whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself
conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and
all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less
bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing.' If
that were our anthem, then I might salute it. "We should consider to
reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better
offer our enemies hope and love. ! ; It's my intention, if elected, to
disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren.
If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the
nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of
mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I
will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have
been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting
oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of
Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disrespects the flag for many
personal reasons. Together, she and I have attended several flag
burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and
I have mine". "Of course now, I have found myself about to become the
President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will
use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new
path of hope. ! My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's
First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States
of America."

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be
our next President. I, for one, am speechless.



You are joking. I don't believe he ever said that. No one in their right
mind running for President would.


I apologise for that post. didn't do any research it upset me so, and I
usually do research before posting :-(
