Has Barack Obama ever done anything in his life to suggest that he genuinely loves America?
10 May 2008 | snarks_when_bored

I pose a question to all FReepers and lurkers:

Has Barack Obama ever done anything in his life to suggest that he genuinely loves America?

This is a question to which I don't have an answer. If there's something special or remarkable in Obama's record that demonstrates that he has a real love for America, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

I take it to be clear that such a question need not be asked about John McCain. I take it also to be fairly clear what the answer would be if the question were asked about Michelle Obama or Jeremiah Wright...

Not so much an answer to your question but I did hear of fellow so bad that it was said that the only good thing he ever did was that he wasn’t born twins.

If he has and it became public, he’d lose his base.

Love for America? In what time frame? I would think, if willing to go back far enough into the record, he probably served jury duty. He probably recuses himself these days though.

Obama is like Che Guevera—a photogenic figure who has done little, but has a messianic appeal. It also helps that he is a minority. Unfortunately, the electorate has been sufficiently brainwashed that the facts don’t appear to matter.

If he is elected, I can only hope the Office of the President can somehow transform him into more than he currently is. It could happen.

Why he's running for President and sharing his magnificence with us. He's going to bring us socialism and put all Americans in his safety net. He's going to withdraw all the troops from Iraq to make us safer? He's questioning authority and going to show us how to change our "mindset"? What could show love for America more than that? /sarc I expect that's how a liberal would answer that question and I expect that's how they really feeeeeel about it. America is in denial right now and it's going to last for a couple of years.

Hmmmm, if he refused jury duty, he could be punished, so jury duty probably doesn't qualify as an indicator of love of America.

No.

Can we not ask this same question with but a name/gender change?

Has hillary clinton ever done anything in her life to suggest that she genuinely loves America?

Let me point out something that's probably obvious: an American citizen has every right not to love America. There's no "Do you love America?" test for citizenship. However, I would think it both unwise and unseemly for a nation to elect as its leader a person who feels no deep, sincere attachment to that nation.

And now I'm heading out for a while...thanks for all responses so far, and I'll look for more when I return...

An empty suit. The true Manchurian candidate. Hasn’t been in politics long enough for anyone to research his point of view. He has voted/acted along far left party lines in lockstep with those who would bring our country to the precipice. The MSM wants Obama so we really have our work cut out for us.

...the American Federation of Government Employees announced its support for Obama. The union claims about 600,000 members who work in the federal and Washington, D.C., governments.

Well, just look at the money he's even recently donated to charity! I believe it's been credibly reported that he gave over $20,000 to a church that was hip-deep in community help activities.

We're going to guess he took a tax deduction for that, fancifully imagining they qualified by virtue of their non-political advocacies.

Oops. I guess we'll have to re-think some of that, given that we're talking about TUCC. Just how is it they've been able to avoid scrutiny for their politics-from-the-pulpit? Oh, yeah, that only applies to religious organizations that could be construed to be helping the Republicans! Silly me.

Taqqiyah. It's allowed, if not encouraged, by Muslims toward infidels.

One should never forget that the policy of TUCC is not to require practicing Muslims to set aside their faith become full-fledged members of TUCC. Even if might be true that BHO was baptized into something, I don't believe it was a proper Christian baptism, given the copious evidence we've seen and heard from TUCC and Wright.

Barack, who is Hussein, Obama, is the absolute apex of the domestic enemy, subversive, anti-American movement in this country.

Polished in a prepared speech, charismatic in his presentation, nonetheless, underneath it all lies a smoldering cauldron of marxism, bigotry, and black liberation theology that is the enemy of America and its traditional values.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND SUPPORT

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA'S CHURCH

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Well, you got me there. I was trying to help, digging down REALLY deep for any rationale. I failed.

Michelle's claim that the Obamas spurned the capitalist world to work in "public service" is wrong. The big law firms don't make most of those they hire associates, so Barack and Michelle had to go elsewhere, and arranged cushy landings for themselves in politics and at the University of Chicago.

And yet ... if you're born in Hawaii and a graduate of Harvard Law School, you don't have to go and live and work on the South Side of Chicago. You'd have a lot of other opportunities in more attractive areas. So it was for love of something -- or at least something other than desire for money -- that took Obama to Chicago.

Obviously, Obama's political ambitions had something to do with his choices. There are a lot of African-Americans in Chicago. But Obama did have other options, and his ambition doesn't seem as naked as Bill Richardson's in moving to the most Hispanic state in the country to make a career.

But it's a generational thing. Maybe a class thing, too. If you're older (or younger) than Barack Obama, you may be outraged that he didn't serve in the military, but he's pretty typical of Ivy-league graduates who came of age in the 1980s.

Hell no. Obama’s entire message is that the country sucks at home and is a force for evil abroad. This explains why he found Wright's paranoid ravings and his own wife's unseemly whining so unremarkable until others in his campaign informed the parochial Obama—he had lived entirely within the HydePark Brie Chablis, and South Side Permanent Victim Universe—that most Americans do not share his dark view of our country. Gun clinging, God loving fools these other American may be, but he needs their votes.

At the age of 10 he chose to stay in Hawaii to go to school rather than returning with his mother to Indonesia.

“HAS OBAMA EVER DONE ANYTHING TO INDICATE HE LOVES AMERICA?”

H*LL NO. HE TOLD US IN HIS BOOKS HOW HE HATES WHITES AND ADMIRES ISLAM, THOUGH:

.........................................................

Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father:
“THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM”.

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL” “..I STUDIED THE KORAN..”

From ‘Audacity of Hope: “LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....”I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.

From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION..”

From The Audacity Of Hope, “WE ARE NO LONGER JUST A CHRISTIAN NATION, we are also a Jewish nation, a MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”

HATRED OF WHITES:
From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”. Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.” Barack Hussein Obama

From Dreams Of My Father: “That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams Of My Father’, “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names” Barack Hussein Obama

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!
A WHITE CANDIDATE WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED FOR MAKING SUCH STATEMENTS!!!
