Obama and the flag

[headhuntersix]

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says he doesn’t wear an American flag lapel pin because it has become a substitute for “true patriotism” since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Asked about it Wednesday in an interview with KCRG-TV in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Illinois senator said he stopped wearing the pin shortly after the attacks and instead hoped to show his patriotism by explaining his ideas to citizens.

“The truth is that right after 9/11 I had a pin,” Obama said. “Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security.

”I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest,“ he said in the interview. ”Instead, I’m going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testament to my patriotism...

Ok compelte bullshit but ok.....then this..watch the video.

Okay, now, you're growing sleepy. Repeat after me, " Hope, Change, Hope, Change......"  I wish Hil would unload on this guy. People like the guy but can't articulate why they like him beyond...hope/change....rockstar etc.

To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary...These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We must create the pedagogy of the The Wall! (El Paredón)” –Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara


I'm digging my bunker and arming now..the end is near...Beserk u better move over..I might need to join u.

[tonymctones]

Hillary has a windbreaker made from a flag that once flew over the USS Ronald Reagan. 

Can she count on your support, fellow American?? 

(Note: please disregard that 'Made in China' tag)

Geez, people actually buy Obamas 'hope utopia' pitch?

I don't believe I've ever seen a candidate with less substance. I have never heard this man talk about his ideas. All he ever does in talk in pretty lines about "hope", "change" and "we are not the divided state, we are the United States".

It really does depress me that so many  think of this guy as some kind of great change agent.

Jesus CHrist, what a bunch of pathetic sad sacks.

The guy is why we're a great fuckin nation.  This always has been a land where dreams can come true, and he is living it.......just like Arnold, just like our fuckin ancestors.

So he has supporters with poor judgment.........big fucking deal.

It's a big country, and I'm sure your boy McCain has his collection of douchebag supporters too.

I don't mind if you post from rightwing sources.  I just called you out on having an issue with left wing sources because they're left wing.

Are you left wing?  You must be so far left, you're on the far right.........

What's your position on government programs, immigration, etc?  I thought you were a Ron Paul-ite, Mr. "I don't like Calmus, he makes me cry  "

[Bindare_Dundat]

We may be douchbags but at least we aren't asleep at the wheel.

Liking Ron Paul doesn't make you far right

Nope no problem...I had to dig to get the "pure" link because I'm going to continue to dig folks on left wing nutbaggery while I'm sure u will do the same to me....I found the original link on another website.....

Uhhhhh..... yes, it does. No one in the race is further to the right than he is. Not even Romney.
