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...
Since when do ANY of the radical left love ANYTHING other than what they see in the mirror??
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.
No
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.
...he probably served jury duty.
Hmmmm, if he refused jury duty, he could be punished, so jury duty probably doesn't qualify as an indicator of love of America.
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?
I’ve placed Hillary in the ‘irrelevant’ category...for now. And that feels great, let me tell you...

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.
When he was sworn into the senate, did he swear on the Bible to uphold the constitution of the U.S.?
I’m sure Bill Ayers and the racist have burned a couple of American flags together in their younger days.
Oh, yeah, and Michelle, Wright, Ayers, et al, are controlling his marionette strings.
At least she holds her hand over her heart when the Pledge is said which is more than that black POS does.
*****He’s going to bring us socialism and put all Americans in his safety net.*****

...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.

The first troops are setting out the nets - but they are not designed to keep any US citizen safe !!!!!!!
This is the scariest element of Government Employees’ Unions - like - who the hell represents the EMPLOYER aka The Taxpayers??????
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.

Bowling doesn’t count? How about playing basketball, that’s pretty American.../sarc
“... who the hell represents the EMPLOYER aka The Taxpayers??????”
Interesting.I’m all for forming a White Congressional Caucus and putting pressure on the elected to profess their allegiances.
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.
Why?
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.
I hope a reporter asks Obama which state is his favorite out of all the 57 states.

At the age of 10 he chose to stay in Hawaii to go to school rather than returning with his mother to Indonesia.
Feels so great, it bears repeating...;^)
wondering...as opposed to him being a white POS?
“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 Obamas 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 (Obamas 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 MOTHERS 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 hadnt 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!!!
