I got this email and just had to post it here. I have never liked Obama or McCain, but this really puts the icing on the cake to NOT vote for Obama!
Here is the email in full below:
I cannot believe this. That on Oct 19/08 a candidate for President of the
US would make such a statement and it has not been picked up by the RNC or
the media.
Don Hawkins, Col, USAF Ret
The following is a narrative taken from Sunday Morning's televised 'Meet
The Press' by the author, Dale Lindsborg, an employee of the Washington Post!! Yeah......the Washington Post of New York and Los Angeles Times
fame!!
On Sunday during "Meet the Press " , Senator Obama was
asked about his stance on the American Flag and the National Anthem, the
question was asked by General Bill Ginn, USAF (ret.) . He asked Obama to
explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played
or the Flag displayed.
The General also remined the Senator that according to the United States
Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... , That while 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, and at the very least, 'Stand and Face It.'
Senator Obama Live on Sunday stated inreturn, "As I've said about the flag
pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides,
Obama went on to say, 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. It's my intention, if
elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East
Brethren. If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as
the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of
mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I will
seek
a pact or agreement to send hostilities between those who have been
at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting
oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of
Islam an unfair injustice. 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. Of course, now, I have found myself about to become the
President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will
use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a
new path of hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our
Country's First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the
United States of America."

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be
our next President. I, for one, am speechless.

This is absolutely amazing that someone running for president of the "
United States" said this on a public television program.
MY God! I hope every one is listening, before it is to late!
Perhaps there are SOME out there who are beginning to get 'the picture'.
