VOTE in '08 - your vote could make a difference!

Answer 2

I don't know if it's true, but blind patriotism, my country right or wrong, is not the answer. I think Barrack Obama understands the constitution (take a look at his background) and will not run this country into the ground the way the Bush administration has done with billions spent on a senseless war, innocent people being killed and maimed and liberties at home being shut down. Now Bush is thinking about bombing Iran??!! Could anyone do a worse job of protecting our country (and our flag)?

Answer 3

They concept he had the greater advantageous plan, Romney could have greater funds yet he truly did no longer have lots of a restoration plan or any new, clean recommendations. no longer having the government spend funds can no longer help Wall St or important St. something they understand. without government orders, and the upward push in unemployment whilst they hearth human beings to fulfill their dream of coming up government smaller, which will turn working those with first rate center earning who're taxpayers and purchasers, into the unemployed who will lose their residences and not purchase products or amenities. Wall St. is familiar with that the ripple outcomes from which will truly harm the financial device interior the long-term. And their base line is the countrys' base line.

Answer 4

There is a picture circulating of Obama supposedly not reciting the pledge of allegiance. The image is actually a still taken at the same time as a video of the candidates taken while the national anthem was being sung. In other words it was taken completely out of context.

BTW the person singing the anthem sounded like she was strangling a cat. It was horrible.

Answer 5

Yes, it's true. Also he refused to put his hand on his heart during the National Anthem. That's fine for a rapper, but for someone who wants to be president he sure shows a lack of respect for this country.

He also says that refusing to wear a pin with the flag on it is his way of showing his patriotism.

It's a shame. He seems like a nice guy. Not real bright, but we never vote geniuses into office anyway, right?

Answer 6

This is entirely unsubstantiated. After Obama made the statement about not wearing his flag pin, the Republican opposition (desperate to make news about anything besides Iraq) started watching his every public move. Perhaps he missed a word in the pledge, perhaps his hand was not exactly at his heart, who knows...it's presidential politics and it's ugly.

Answer 7

Thats strange cuz my boyfriend saw my support for Obama link on my myspace and he said he seen a video were he would not say the pledge. That does bother me but I don't know if its true or not either.

Answer 8

NOT true, wouldn't blame him if he didn't, I got a problem with that GOD part too, and if you noticed..90% of the pundits on TV that had a problem with him not wearing a lapel pin, though I don't see what difference it makes, were not wearing one either. None of these things are requirements to run for President. Read the Constitution before throwing out ignorant arguments.

Answer 9

yes, the picture is on the net and frankly the idea of having a tax and spend liberal who cant respond to basic patriotism as a presidential candidate makes me ill.

Answer 10

Of course not. I dislike him, but a candidate for President of America would NEVER do that.
