Obama and Patriotism
Well, ladies and germs, I was takin' a look at the top headlines of the day, and was floored by the same one that seemed to be threading in and out of every major story. From CNN to DAS FOX it was all the same: "Obama's Patriotism Questioned". What a diversion, I thought, as I did indeed grumpily read these stories, and found the only evidence of this "lack of patriotism" was that Obama didn't wear his little flag lapel pin enough for the authors of the articles to be satisfied.....er, that couldn't be because that look is associated with the other party? DUH! I still don't understand why no one remarks on that. Oh, yeah, their owners like the tight leash on their "commentators". But the main question I would ask these self appointed skeptics is:
The man is RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.......how are you going to get more patriotic than that? Really, it is so bizarre it makes me laugh. Whether I dislike a candidate or not, I, as well as the majority of the world, know it takes alot of energy to run for the top office in this country, so I believe the man has enough personal feelings for the country he was born and raised in (yes, I know he was in other countries during his youth, but please) to make this accusation sound foolish. I mean, the current guy we have in office wears his lapel pin every time he is spotted at an "official" event, yet his "patriotism" has never been called into question. Yet his track record is painful. What a country!

If I were Obama, I would show my patriotism by suing each and every one of those newspapers plus the source of the article for every last dime they have, for printing a defamatory article. After all, isn't that the American way!?!
Another day in the life.....
's at war with an oil rich nation?I will move back to Europe where my ancestors are from and ESCAPE the tyranny they ran from when their country turned into a Fascist,materialistic,religious phony empire.Obama is the only answer for this sad state of affairs we find ourselves in.Go Obama.You dont need a fuckin pin to be a president.Peace...
I mean, the man is running for President, not Pope, so I never understood the distraction about his "interpretation of Bible quotes". Huh? And the lapel pin could just be what The Copper Man is sayin', he doesn't want to be associated with the Republicans.
Damn it, I want a president with an IQ!!!!!! Sorry Johnny Boy McCain!

I am anxious for November to come around...enough is enough!!! You're right, he is running for President and the palpacy! It is a diversion tactic on the republican side...hoping to win the votes that way!! It's not going to work this time around. Americans in general are starting to pay attention...maybe this is what they needed...to feel the pinch to open their eyes and realize what the hell were they thinking voting Lil' Bush and his cronies in for a second term!!!
Smooooooooooooooooches Bette!!
