 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."

 Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next
 president!!

 I, for once, am speechless. He has absolutely NO pride in this  
 country!!!!!

 This is outrageous!!!! He doesn't deserve to be dogcatcher!!!

 (Oh, sorry dogcatchers, I mean you no disrespect.)

 LET'S SEND THIS CLOWN DOWN THE ROAD KICKING ROCKS!!!!
