From Sunday's Televised "Meet the Press" Senator Obama was asked

about his stance on the American Flag.  Obama Explains National Anthem Stance

Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama
to explain why he doesn't  follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

The General also stated to the Senator 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. At the very least, "Stand and Face It"

Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, "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."We should consider to

reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies

hope and love. My wife disrespects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and

I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her

views and I have mine".

WHAAAAAAAT !!!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be our next President.

I, for one, am speechless.

You do realize that "Truth" and "Obama" are mutually exclusive concepts, right?

If this were true, it would be the end of Obama. Too bad.

how long before we hear this on talk radio?!

I cannot believe that! Actually, I can believe he said that. I cannot believe he is nominated for president.
