Here it is again, that big fat lie email, in my box AGAIN.
Obama explains why he doesn't salute the US Flag
Obama 'explains'
I sure hope this gets around before Nov.!!!

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.
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 t he 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, for once, am speechless. He has absolutely NO pride in this country!!!!!
This is outrageous!!!! He doesn't deserve to be dogcatcher!!!
(Oh, sorry dogcatchers, I mean you no disrespect.)
LET'S SEND THIS CLOWN DOWN THE ROAD KICKING ROCKS!!!!
And me, being the disrespectful girl that I am, selected reply all, with this message:

Gossip: Satan’s Snare
Can you not find any valid reasons not to vote for Obama - you have to resort to spreading boldface lies and gossip?
Is THIS the way McCain plans to get elected? Ignorance, lies, fear tactics?
Highly questionable, ethically speaking.
Send me facts, not gossip, if you hope to persuade me. Not everything you read in an email is true.
Love always,

Either my loved ones will stop sending these vicious bits of entertainment for me to snopes and reply all, or they like it.
I get to go deposit unexpected a mortgage refinance refund check, now.

Uggh! I know how you feel about those emails, people at work send them all the time! But people fail to notice that Obama often wears a small American flag over his heart. It's not gigantic like Sarah Palin's, but it's there and it was there during both the debates. Incidentaly, John McCain does not always wear a pin either. I can't imagine that any person who is running for Presidency lacks pride and love for their country.
"You know, the bombs bursting in air and all."
LOL. I thought this was supposed to be a quotation from Obama, not G.W.
I enjoy how they throw in words they think sound smart, like "bellicose," with their goofy sentences.
