The libs president on the American flag.

From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST,
Televised "Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on
the American Flag.


                                 

                                General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to
explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.


                                 

                                The General stated to Obama 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. Or, at
the very least, "Stand and Face It".


                                 

                                NOW GET THIS !!


                                 

                                'Senator' Obama replied:


                                 

                                "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want
to be perceived as taking sides".. "There are a lot of people in the world to
whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a
war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of
thing."


                                 

                                (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)


                                 

                                Obama continued: "The National Anthem 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. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as
'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 waring people, conduct ourselves
like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period
of mutual accord could exist between our governments ....."
                                 

                                When I become President, I will seek a pact of
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 which is WHY my wife
disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies
in the past".


                                 

                                "Of course now, I have found myself about to
become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will
use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path..My
wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed,
CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America "


Aint he a piece of work?? And they say AMERICANS still elected him?? POWDERMAN.

Already long since discredited, this is an e-mail forward of a satire piece that somehow got believed into truthiness.

I don't care about snoops. I do not appreciate his crotch salute that we've all seen or his disrespect for America and our flag. POWDERMAN.

I don't care about snoops.

That stands to reason - you tried to pass off a lie as the truth, and Snopes is very good for smoking out lies posing as the truth.

I'll give Obama the benefit of doubt.  I doubt that he said, " I'll put my hatred aside."

PM! Before you post crap like this, don't you think you should take a few minutes to check out the validity of it? Obama's socialistic views speak for themselves.
