Obama defends his patriotism

O'Bama on the defense.
All down-hill from here!
It's a long way down until November.
He should be picking up some momentum any time now.
Lookin' kinda grave to me.
I LOVE GRAVITY!

What do you CONservative morons stand for? Just bashing and sh!t talking till you bored everyone to death. Yes Obama hates America because he is a secret terrorist or the anti-Christ that will destroy the world! Or a marxist that will make America the next Cuba (like that is ever possible). Its sad how Republicans stand for the same dumb tired arguments that have not proven to be successful. Not even Reagan's (the republican God) administration was as properous as past Democratic administrations. Please...

What happened with General Clark was an obvious set up by Mr. Obama's campaign to try and even the playing field between Obama and McCain. Clark praised McCain with a back-handed slap. Spin it any way you want. To even bring this up just shows me how low Mr. Obama will stoop. Very poor judgment on Mr. Obama's part. If there was nothing wrong with what General Clark said, than why didn't Mr. Obama just come out and say it himself? Mr. Obama would have looked more statesman like if he had put tape over General Clark's mouth and just given his speech. But today he just looked like a disingenuous Chicago politician. Mr. Obama is no different than republicans and the swiftboaters. What a disappointment!

I agree with you 100%. Yes infinite respect to McCain but being a POW doesnt make you more qualified. I dont trust McCain I feel like he has anger issues or PTSD. That man looks like he thrives on war.

Funny during the whole article Obama never mentioned the Armed Forces when it comes to patriotic individuals, or there patriotism. Considering that Obama doesn't like the military being that he is a extreme liberal it is quite understandable. Does anyone think that if elected Obama would not reduce the military substantially just to make happy the far left.

"christina" as a conservative I believe in my coutry unlike Obama who is a opportunist. Obama now claims he loves the U.S., but only to further Obama's interests.

Barry Obama is your Chicago hack. Promise anything, change your position which ever way the wind blows. Have all around you "swift boat" the comptition, and then throw them under the bus. Lie when caught in a lie, and tell the American people they "can't judge his patriotism". Well Barry, we will judge you in all ways possible, because you are applying for the most important job in the world. And it is not good when the new hire tells the employer {the American people} what he can or can not ask during the interview. You, Barry< are a fraud, and worst, a socialist. And most Americans are starting to see you for what you are, an arrogant, political wanna be, angry,bitter,left wing,American hating, liberal.
I see no change....or hope...in what your selling. Just the same old Chigago crap.

Christina, I agree for 2 reasons: 1) McCain was a fighter pilot -- not exactly upper-level management in the military and, 2) the PTSD issue. I ask myself, "Hmmm. Think it's a good idea for our president to be someone who was locked up and tortured for more than 5 years?" Yeah, I thank him for his service but that doesn't mean he gets my vote!! And, yes, as "Disgusted" noted, the people who have responded so far are lying, ignorant morons who actually hate our country and are working very hard to finish the destruction started by Reagan and continued so well by the current WH occupant.

It's not America we hate it's the plague of our despicable public education system. Critical thinking is the last thing the populace will engage in.

It's that Conservative Ideals promote complacency and a willingness to believe everything we're told. For instance that Iraq was a threat to the average American, it wasn't. It was a threat to business interests nothing more nothing less. Take any business class, there is only one goal in mind; making money anyway one can and getting away with it.

Obama might be selling the same old crap at least he's a good politician.

Hey oman, u got a big problem when you gotta prove you love the country you live in!! Let's see now, which military uniform did you wear? hehe

Let's think about it this way: if you aren't willing to serve your country in a way inwhich you might get hurt, then you certainly are not qualified to be president. If you wouldn't lay your life on the line for this country, you can't expect people to believe that you are qualified to lead it! Every elected official in history will tell you that SENDING citizens to war is as patriotic as GOING off to war. They can't, and don't, know the difference!

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php... - A rare glimpse of Communism and the first bill by Obama that will cost the U.S. 845 Billion.

Many Americans are aware of the countless
examples of contempt towards whites and the
United States expressed by Obama's wife in her
Princeton dissertation - and their countless
hate-filled acquaintances' and "reverends." But
few Americans are aware of the video of eight
politicians pledging their allegiance to the
United States by holding their hands to their
hearts - actually 7 of the 8. Take a wild guess
at the single politician not holding his hand
to his heart. Rare coincidence or an extension
of twenty plus years of brainwashing - by
"reverends" such as Wright and Obama's wife -
about the evil and mean united states!

Feel free to pass the following directions to
the video of the sole politician refusing to
pay respect to the US of KKK that spread AIDS
and drugs to blacks. Click on the link
http:/Www.Snopes.Com/politics
next click on Barack Obama, then click on the
first highlighted occurrence of ANTHEM. Then
scroll down to the video of Obama, Bill
Richardson, and Hillary clinton. View the video
as it pans the eight politicians during playing
of the National Anthem. Note the single
politician, coincidentally, unable to pay
respect to our nations flag - clue: The
politician is the same one who made the
Freudian slip of having visited 57 states (the
same number of Arab members of the Organisation
of the Islamic Conference) during a campaign
speech.

I quess his patriotism. His association with a church who's pastor's statements for 20 years have been anti-american. His association with a known terrorist, and murderer Ayers. His association with others with known to be anti-american. Yes, I question his patriotism. The flag label pin has nothing to do with the situation.

Read his books. That is proof enough of the way he feels about race, his obvious disrespect for the American Flag and his "whitey" hating wife. Sitting in a church for 20 years and listening to a racist preacher debase this country and the white race, among other things, shoud disqualify him for the Presidency. He doesn't like his patriotism questioned? I guestion it! I have a picture of him not saluting the American flag.

You really need to read www.fightthesmears.com

THe posts here are really sickening. Mrs. O never said 'whitey'. But why waste time with racists like you.

The people in here are disgusting. The right wing is running a disgusting campaign. But after the Swiftbook attacks on Kerry, what else should be expected from the scumbag right? He did not send Clark to do anything, because there was no attack on McCain's record. His service was praised while saying that getting shot down did automatically qualify someone to be President. The right knows this except for the dummies that cannot tell the difference. Obama has said time and time again he is not a Muslim. I believe him. The flag lapel incident is nothing. Does McCain wear one all the time? I actually believe McCain is a decent person. But most of the people in this forum are lying scum that will do anything to defeat Obama. Gee, does this mean they are worried he might win? Good!

I agree. McCain hired the swiftboaters to attack another hero, Gen. Clark.

Democrats hate war. Republicans hate our troops.

The posts on this forum show how GW Bush got elected twice. US will lose its superpower status due to the overwhelmingly less-educated whites.

American education system failed these people.

You have no proof of this. It's all due to your own biases and nothing else. What a disappointment! It does explain GW Bush getting elected twice. China will be our next superpower status soon as US is going down the toilet while we cling to our guns and pray.

McCain hired the swiftboaters that attacked his then friend, Kerry.

mccain's been taking money from the swiftboaters, and their ad producer has joined with the producer of the racist "willie horton" ads that brought bush's dad to power to produce anti-obama ads.

Republicans are so predictable.

Obama is a fresh air. He praised Obama. Yet McCain would not answer the question when a reporter asked him if Obama was patriotic. It works on the white less-educated, so he'll keep portraying Obama as not a 'full blooded American'

Obama deeply cares for our troops. He wants to bring them home now. McCain hates our troops, he said it doesn't matter when they come home.

Democrats hate war. Republicans hate our troops.

Never trust a man who denies his past.

Obama’s Muslim Heritage
by Haroon Siddiqui
JAKARTA–Barack Hussein Obama Jr. spent part of his youth here in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation.
The entrance foyer to his elementary school has a photograph, 2 metres by 1.3 metres, of the hajj, the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
Ten steps into the crowded rectangular courtyard and you can see his old homeroom, adjacent to the stairway leading to the second floor mosque, where he studied Islam.
He had a different name then, Barry Soetoro, after his stepfather.
His mother, the Kansas-born Ann Dunham, first married a Kenyan, Barack Hussein Obama. Her second husband was the Indonesian Lolo Soetoro, with whom she moved here in 1967.
Obama was enrolled in a Catholic primary school, and then for his Grades 3 and 4 in what is now called the Model Primary School, a much-sought after public school in an elite leafy neighbourhood.
Three of his teachers have said he was enrolled as a Muslim. In his autobiography, Dreams From My Father, he mentions his Qur’an studies here.
A classmate of his in Jakarta has said that Obama used to wear a sarong and accompany his father to the neighbourhood mosque, but that his mother used to go to church.

If Obama went to a mosque with his father he had to be 2 years old. His father abandoned him. Obama probably ate paste when he was 2. Now you have a reason to not vote for him.

His mother was an avowed atheist, my hero! What a smart woman she was. No wonder Obama is so intelligent.
