Theres a smear campaign about Obama’s ‘lack of patriotism’.  Supposedly, Obama refuses to say the pledge, and hates the American National Anthem because its too violent. LOL.  It a lie.  He is the email that is floating around.

Obama Explains National Anthem Stance

Also explains why he WILL NOT get my vote.

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.

The emails content actually comes from John Semmen’s: Semi-News, a conservative satire site.
