Yes,
he told us in advance what he planned to do. Few were
listening.
The
following is a narrative taken from a 2008
Sunday morning televised "Meet The
Press'.
From
Sunday's 07 Sept.2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised
"Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was
asked about his stance on the American
Flag.
General
Bill Gann' USAF (ret.)asked Obama to explain WHY
he doesn't follow protocol when the National
Anthem is played.
The General
stated to Obama that 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. Or, at the very least,"Stand and
Face It".
NOW
GET THIS !!
Senator
Obama
replied :
"As
I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be
perceived as taking sides". "There are a lot of
people in the world to whom the American flag is
a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself
conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs
bursting in air and all that sort of
thing."
(ARE
YOU READY FOR THIS???)
Obama
continued : "The National Anthem 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. In my opinion,
we should consider reinventing our National
Anthem as well as '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, conduct
ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace
prevails - - -perhaps a state or period of
mutual accord could exist between our
governments
....."

When
I become President, I will seek a pact of
agreement to end 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 which is
WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and
I have attended several flag burning ceremonies
in the past".
"Of
course now, I
have found myself about to become the President
of the United
States
and I have put my hatred
aside.
I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this
Nation, and offer the people a new path.
My
wife and I look forward to becoming our
Country's First black Family. Indeed,
CHANGE
is about to overwhelm the
United
States of
America"
Yes,
you read it right.
I,
for one, am speechless!!!
