Lame. I can find plenty of pictures with Obama's hand over his heart. You guys keep focusing on this, we'll focus on fixing the economy.
get off of it. i'm a republican and a veteran, and this doesn't bother men. i don't like the guy, but this is a trivial point; there are so many other reasons not to vote for him.
Republicans cannot defend what they have done to this country so we get this crap. Such important stuff to campaign against.
Fix the economy... it’s the Dems fault for easing mortgage regulations so "everybody can own a home" even people that afford homes were able to get mortgages. Which party do Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae give the most political contributions to you ask??? That would be the Democrats.... so please do us all a favor and fix the economy you helped destroy because you wanted to be ‘fair’.
I still cant understand how Obama is going to enact all of the programs he is proposing in this economy; if he gets elected investors will pull out of this market faster than a one night stand. Assets will not go into the market place to avoid taxes.
Thats because he's a Maverick!

Well where are those so called pictures you are talking about. Prove it and sign your name.
We are trying to fix the economy and hopefully this next election we can do it by voting out the democrat controlled house and senate. Yes your congressional democrats and senators are the problem.

If you are truly a Republican then we refer to you as a RINO. If you are truly a veteran then we refer to you as a P#SSY!! This is not trivial, this is reality and your friend Barry Obama has no respect for the flag or this country.
It is not required to place the hand over the heart during the National Anthem, only to stand respectfully.
As one who was taught Hand Over the Heart for the Pledge and stand respectfully for the anthem (and sing with it if you want, which I DO!), I resent your stupid attacks on this because you are attacking MY patriotism!
Mr. Albero, as someone who has been attacked for his dissenting opinion, YOU of all people should not be casting stones of this kind! Shame on you, sir!
STOP reprinting earlier comments before you reply back!
Simply put up anonymous 8:44 or whatever but I will NOT reprint any more of the earlier comments you're responding to. I have stated this as being one of the new rules to this Blog and if it happens again your comment will not go up.
"I" am NOT running for President of the United States.
10:05 - Wow! I am neither a Republican or a Vereran, but I imagine that what defines you as a member of either is not blind-unflinching-narrow loyalty to a case, no matter how senseless.
Let's assume you are a vet, given that you have the temerity to call another verern by an insulting name. Did you stick with your brother and vote for John Kerry in 2004? If you did not (and if you were disparaging towards him at all) are you not also the same term you described the other poster?
Is someone a bad Republican because they do not always vote with the party? In that regard, isn't John McCain a RINO in the years that he is not running for President?
Try some decaf and move out of the glass house, 10:05.
anon 9:02,
You are very misinformed. It is the republican's who have been in charge and part of the fundamental visions is trickle-down economics and de-regulation. McCain has been a "fundamental deregulator" his whole career (until now when he wants more regulation.) In fact, Phil Gramm, was intimately involved in doing so. Now, Gramm has written the economic policy for McCain. And, Gramm may be treasury secretary for a McCain presidency.
Look at the Bush legacy... 2 wars, soaring deficits, high unemployment, more jobs overseas, failure at every level of American society. You know who is going to bear the brunt of the last eight years... our children and their children... This kind of fiscal terrorism that Bush and the republicans have launched on the country will take decades to recover from.
And Joe, give me a break with this picture. Do you honestly believe that a sitting US senator who is running for president and who really is a true American story doesn't love this country. If his name was Bob Owens and he was white, this would not even be an issue.
Open up your eyes people...
McCain has no answers to any of our problems. Palin can't even hold a press conference and has been proven to be lying at every stump speech... So, what do you do? Try to paint your opponent as "scary" and unpatriotic.
We have seen what eight years of the "everyman" president has done. I may want to have a beer with Bush, but I don't want him leading. How about someone smart for a change!
"The fundamentals of our economy are strong"... John McCain last Monday... back pedal, back pedal
If you look in the eyes of the Palin family, there is more of a story:
Sarah - Well, golly!
Mr. Palin - Hey, what's over there?
Younger Palin - I'm bored.
Bristol Palin - God, Mom. Please lose this thing so you don't make me marry that pothead loser who knocked me up and make the rest of my life as miserable as I look right now.
A man running for public office in AMERICA should show respect for the country he is going to rep. How do foreign leaders look at this? ...as a sign of weakness. Also while reviewing history this week I discovered that the DEMOCRATIC party leaders have been responsible for every major war or conflict for the past century! WW2 we attacked Germany when Japan was the attacker, Vietnam never attacked us but Kennedy and Johnson turned that into a mess, and the Clinton guy with the cigar and intern thing wasn't that Bosnia?
gee Palin's little girl has her arms crossed.....must be a communist.
Looks like Mr. Palin is reaching for his wallet. And the little girl wants Mama to stop making her pose for the cameras. Her body language speaks volumes. Looks like Mrs. Palin can't locate her heart--a true Republican!
10:03,
Go to Google, do an image search under "Obama Pledge of Allegience" and there you will find lots of images of him with his hand over his heart. Since that is so important to you, I will expect to see a note from you acknowledging this, or is that asking too much? Completely irrelevant, by the way, when McCain's deregulation "trickle down" economy is crushing us.
10:24 - Dude. Learn history before spouting off about it and laving no doubt as to your ignorance.
Yes. Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbor and Germany did not. Good job getting that one right!
However, if you remember your history, after we declared war on Japan, Germany then declared war on us, bringing us into the European front.
And, technically speaking, we never attacked Germany. Normandy is in France (a German-occupied France, but France nonetheless.)
Or are you just upset that a Democratic President was the one that dropped the bomb and a Republican has not gotten the chance since?
annon 1020
In 1995 McCain sponsored a bill to regulate Freddie and Fannie. They were designed to have little regulation after WWII, the Dems made it easier to issue bad loans due to pressure from Clinton. The housing companies rushed to build more homes due to these loans. The people that bought loans they shouldn't have are now in foreclosure.
Wars have never been the cause of a crumbling economy. Illegal immigration is a failure of Bush and has had an affect on the economy.
Bad economy and increased taxes do not go together.

No liberal moron, she is a child. Your buddy Obama Bin Laden is an adult who should know better.
One thing I was taight in my 9 years in the Navy was attention to deatail. This photo of Obama just brings to lite the details of his patriotism or lack of.
He doesn't like to say the pledge. He doesn't want to wear a small flag. He won't put his hand on his heart.
He is trying to be all things to all people, but it's in the details of his actions who he really is. He thinks that America has suppressed his people. His wife thinks her their race needs to be given things so they can advance. They have made racial inequity comments before. It's only when they have been called on these details that they tried to present a better front. But it is not genuine.
No one in America has the right to be given anything to elevate them over anyone else. You won't see white people complaining that so many white people have to be on a basketball team. It's equal competition. That's the way everything should be in life, fair and equal competition for everything.
No one deserves anything extra because of something that happened to their race, ethnic background, religion, age, or geographical location from 2 years ago or 200 years ago. The Obamas live with an entitlist mentality.
Most of us all came from some type of oppresion somewhere in our life or lives of our ancestors. The Lord has brought us all together to see if we will work hard, love our brothers and sisters, and be thankful for what we have, or if we will divide ourselves and try to get entitlements to get ahead. To seperate and put down our fellow humans to try to selfishly raise one person or group by bringing down others.
Details do matter. Character does matter. Obama and Biden thinks it's patriotism to steal from the rich and give to the poor. The Palen family with their hand on their heart show more patriotism.
TERRY ANDERSON, A BLACK LOS ANGELES TALK RADIO HOST, WENT DOWN A LIST OF THINGS SENATOR OBAMA HAS SAID THAT AREN'T EXACTLY CORRECT.
Obama's Not Exactlies:
1.) Selma March Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google'Obama Selma ' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles a bout its various untruths.)
2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.
3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.
4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya . It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Oba ma, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that....and for more.
Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter.. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.
5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.
6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). From....and for more....go to.....

7.) I Never Practiced Islam - NOT EXACTLY, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.
4-3-08 Article 'Obama was 'quite religious in islam'' http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=60559
8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - NOT EXACTLY, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).
February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.'
9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.
10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia , I Have More Foreign Experience - NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn except how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.
11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs - NOT EXACTLY, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.
12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion - NOT EXACTLY, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify - your classmates said you were just fine

14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life - NOT EXACTLY, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.
15.) I Won't Run On A National Ticket In '08 - NOT EXACTLY, here you are, despite saying, live on TV, that you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.
16.) Voting 'Present' is Common In Illinois Senate - NOT EXACTLY, they are common for YOU, but not many others have 130 NO VOTES.

20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill - NOT EXACTLY, you didn't write it, introduce it, change it or create it.
21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass - NOT EXACTLY, it took just 14 days from start to finish.
22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill - NOT EXACTLY, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation - mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.
23.) I Have Released My State Records - NOT EXACTLY, as of March, 2008, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.
24.) I Took On The Asbestos Altgeld Gardens Mess - NOT EXACTLY, you were part of a large group of people who remedied Altgeld Gardens . You failed to mention anyone else but yourself, in your books.

27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year - NOT EXACTLY, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.
28.) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA - NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.
29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism - NOT EXACTLY, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction off Israel ..
30.) I Want All Votes To Count - NOT EXACTLY, you said let the delegates decide.
31.) I Want Americans To Decide - NOT EXACTLY, you prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.
32.) I passed 900 Bills in the State Senate - NOT EXACTLY, you passed 26, most of which you didn't write yourself.

anon 11:11
It is nice to see someone take the time to cut and paste from the right winged blogs other than this one. The fact that a "black" radio show host stated this doesn't not mean that they are truths. You clearly are a loyal Bushie and McCainiac and I would love to see a real debate about these points. But, lets talk about the real issues, not about Obama's cousin in Kenya who he has no association with.
Let's talk of the economy, taxes, energy, the wars and foreign policy. Or should I start talking about the Keating five, calling wives cu*t's, 13 cars and 9 houses, campaign manager receiving 30K/month from Freddie Mac, lying about the bridge to nowhere, lying about selling a jet on ebay, lying about cooperating in the Troopergate scandal...
I still can't understand how after eight years of repubilican presidency, with the highest national debt ever, high unemployment, 2 wars, and failure at every level of society, that this race is even close. The reason why is that much of America is just like Anon 11:11 -- scared of anyone who isn't white. So you start talking about BS like Obama is a muslim and has a Kenyan cousin... Just admit it, you don't want him in because he is black. If you dissect the issues, you will see McCain has no answer except to war monger and make oil companies and the rich get richer...
OMG people!
I was raised, you put your hand over your heart for the Pledge of Allegiance...because you are PLEDGING!
You stand at attention, and sing if you want to the National Anthem.
People are linking patriotism to this? Give me a break!
This picture was from the National Anthem being played.
Those calling Obama not patriotic because of this I guess would say that MOST of our Olympic athletes are also not patriotic since they don't seem to even know the words to our National Anthem?
Patriotism has NOTHING to do with it!
Get off it!
r haddad,
You would love Obama no matter what real dangers he presents.
Just admit it, you are the worst kind of racist. You love Obama just because he is black!
Since it is easy to go on the internet, do a Google search, and find Obama wth his hand over his heart, that point is moot. You are simply incorrrect, using one photo to stand in for every incident. As for the flag pin, you are absolutely right, you should NEVER vote for a guy who does not wear a flag pin. it is practically in the Constitution! Guess who doesn't wear the pin? McCain. You people obsessed with these weird ideas remind me of the guy who fiddled while Rome burned. The economy is in shambles, McCain wants even more deregulation, and he wants to cut taxes on those making $250,000 a year or more. Obama wants to cut your taxes. You should be leery of anyone whose attacks on Obama focus on pledges and pins, and then digress from there. Read the guy's proposal, and then vote for him or not vote for him based on actual knowledge instead of fear.

Lame my a$$. If he couldn't take a little time to put his hand over his heart to be patriotic, how long would he pay attention to the economy. Shows how ignorant he is and how he doesn't care but being a celebrity.
