In an interview during his 2008 campaign, Obama was asked why he won't wear a flag lapel pin which almost all other politicians do. He replied that he thought it might be "offensive". He was asked in the same interview why he wouldn't place his hand over his heart during the playing of the national anthem. He replied that he thought the Star Spangled Banner was "too militaristic" and that he would prefer I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (the old Coke commercial). He added "I might salute that". He also stated that the flag was a "symbol of oppression". During a recent ceremony, Michelle Obama was videotaped whispering to Barack "all this for a damn flag". Her words were confirmed by several lipreading experts. Remember that this is the woman who was proud of America "for the first time" when her husband was elected. The bottom line is that we have a president and first lady who just don't like America very much and are hell-bent on turning it into a third world cesspool.
