RC2 - As much as I would like to have Obammy saying what you have reported, he was NOT on that program on that date. Looks like an URBAN legend.
Here’s a linky to the actual transcript of that program...

Answer:
You probably saw this in an email that’s started as a piece of satire. It was written by John Seemens as Semi-News a Satirical look at Recent News (It is in the last part of the article). Someone took it from his column, expanded the satire, wrapped it in a lie, and started forwarding it as an email of truth. One version of the FALSE email is below
Obama Explains National Anthem Stance
Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, General Bill Ginn’ USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain why he doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
The General also stated to the Senator that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... < BR>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. At the very least, “Stand and Face It”
Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, “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.”We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. M y wife disrespects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in t he past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine”.

I’m not sure if it’s edited or not, I couldn’t find anything on MSNBC Meet The Press site either.
Don’t panic- I got that email too. Check out the transcript at the related link below. Barack Obama wasn’t even ON Meet the Press on Sept. 7.
Note: There are comments associated with this question. See the discussion page to add to the conversation.
By "targeting everyone except one certain group (white males) you are effectively "excluding" them.
You are targeting white males for exclusion.
Isn't that the classic definition of discrimination?
“If Obama had been captain of the Titanic it would have been a much, much fairer disaster ...”
If Obama had been captain of the titanic, it would still be in port.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just say “No white men, no Asians.”
Unless they’re gay.
Any exam they have to pass will be lowered so an Orangutan could pass them.
Tick, toc, tick toc.... he keeps pushing and poking us.
At some point in time we have to realize that our government has exceeded its ruling authority and no longer serves the people. We have become the servants and please tell me there is a solution other than armed conflict to restore this Representative Republic that the founders risk life and fortune to give us.
I see very few in the wings waiting to be elected with a thirst for restoring the constitutional limits to the federal government. They are there but in such small numbers as to be irrelevant.
All I see are 2 speeds towards Marxism (we have already reached socialism in many sectors). Dumbocrap speed is full speed ahead and let nothing get in the way while they still have power.
The GOP has been infested with the Progressive cancer and is just in 2nd gear heading towards a socialist foundation from which to progress to Marxism.
It’s part of his program to make the government leaner, more efficient and stimulate the economy.
Come on...he never really said that did he? I mean, I can believe that he believes it but I’ve never heard of him saying that before....is there a link for that?
Thanks.
I’m pretty good at govspeak, but this one - - - , well it could be a “ profiling “ violation or maybe a backwards step into the feudalism of the 1950’s , I think they called it “segregation,” or something like that.
Either way, it looks like a civil rights law violation.
I am stunned that such a learned man as Professor You Lie would do such a thing! Especially since he leads the Debt-o-cratic Political Party.
You got it!!!
Thanks.....I wondered about it but it sounded so true.
Open minded: Shut up and accept it. These words are meant for you to shut off your brain.
Close minded: Time for you to shut up or be subjected to more severe ad hominem attacks and possible repercussions. These words are meant to silence.
We have an entire language that has been created around political correctness. Newsspeak isn't just a joke or Orwellian fantasy.
OK....from now on we all have to say we are “Gay”....
To attain this, special initiatives have been created targeting specific groups, including Hispanics [illegals and La Raza members who play LOUD music], African Americans, American Indians, women [feminazis—NOT conservative and Christian women] and gays and lesbians [degenerates who together with feminazis and muslims are bringing down our civilization].”
“Diversity” and “inclusion” are two of the ugliest words in the English language today!!!!
“Who will run this brainchild of the brilliant boy king?”
Why, the half-black Kenyan Muslim closeted-gay Marxist himself! Who could be more “diverse”?
and I bet including muslims. He’s got to get as many infiltrators installed in the system as he can before he gets voted out.
Really! If there are too many special groups will they hire whites?
Few years back I was on a contract for a large well-known company and our group had a “diversity” meeting. It didn’t quite go as expected when I stated that we should be saying “Merry Christmas” instead of the generic “Happy Holidays” then launched into a lecture on the civilizing virtues of Christianity...
[q]Really! If there are too many special groups will they hire whites?[/q]
Whites are already less represented in government employment than they are in the general population, so that’s a pretty easy question to answer when you consider whether Obama would launch an initiative to hire more whites.
Can you imagine a white guy on your TV talking about programming for "us"?
