My mom didn't miss a beat

...'Subject: I'm Speechless


Obama Explains National Anthem Stance
Is this guy crazy or what!





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 the 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.'

WHAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president. I, for one, am speechless .

Pass It On Before It's too Late.
Let's Teach The World About This Idiot....'

It's gonna be a long way to November

7. Ask her...
why Bush doesn't have the decency and respect to put his hand over his heart for the anthem! :evilgrin:

Oh, and why he wipes his ass with the Constitution!

11. Cheney wore a 10-gallon hat during the anthem
Of course, technically, his holds 20 gallons.

6. I know. Whenever
I get one of her hatemails, I immediately go to snopes & send her the debunking link. It has yet to deter her from slurping the koolade AND passing it on.

9. Not just false, but incredibly stoopid.
Jeebus, how did these morans ever learn to use a computer? You'd think their "special education" classes would have concentrated more on "life skills".

18. Snap.
I hope you don't mind my using that comeback when I reply the next time. :evilgrin:

My cousin sends me these. He's a rwer but doesn't believe everything that turns up in his inbox. He'll ask me to check it out for him. Guess he can't figure out how to search snopes. :shrug: Small steps.

They better watch their step or we're gonna have trouble.

Enough of their hateful lies - I'm not going to have another moran as President.
