Obama Doesn't Salute the Flag.
Obama "explains
"Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
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.
"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking
sides," 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."
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president!! (I SURE HOPE NOT)
LET'S SEND THIS CLOWN DOWN THE ROAD KICKING ROCKS!!! THIS JERK
HAS NO RESPECT FOR OUR COUNTRY!
