Have you noticed throughout this site all of the hatred towards Obama? I see stronger negative opinions regarding him than I do Hillary and McCain. What does it really say about those that harbor such resentment towards Obama?
That they're smart. Obama's an unknown factor, unproven as a politician or a diplomat, with radical friends in his background that he refuses to distance himself from. He's been noted in several instances that bring his patriotism (or lack of it) to the fore front.
BTW, I absolutely despise and detest Hillary. I just don't trust and wouldn't vote for Obama. Other than that, I have no feelings for or against him. And my feelings are not based on race, creed or color.
Radical friends??? I assume you mean Rev Wright? Have you even listened to one whole sermon yet? I love how people form an opinion off of 30 seconds of sound bites. Please listen to a whole sermon before you call him radical. After doing so, you'll find he's really not.
And as for patriotism, when I was growing up, I was taught to put your hand over your heart during the Pledge and to stand at attention during the playing of the national anthem. The only picture that I see repeatedly is Barack standing at attention during the national anthem, not the Pledge. Is this what you are referring to? And please tell me you're not measuring patriotism by whether or not a person wears a clichéd lapel pin.
A quote from your minister of love, rev. Wright:
"The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color" and "[t]he government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God **** America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people...God **** America for treating our citizens as less than human. God **** America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme"

§ 301. National anthem
(a) Designation.— The composition consisting of the words and music known as the Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem.
(b) Conduct During Playing.— During a rendition of the national anthem—
(1) when the flag is displayed—
(A) all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart;
(B) men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold the headdress at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart; and
(C) individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note; and
(2) when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.
How would a CANDIDATE for President NOT KNOW THIS? Something that first graders are taught all around the country.
Absolute utter irresponsibility, or total defiance? You make the call.
