Remember, when we look at the first three people on the stage, this is the best that the Dem’s can find to represent.

Any one of our candidates, (Duncan Hunter), is way more qualified to be President than any one of the Dems.

I like the song ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.’ If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.”

LOL...hilarious.

Although my choice for a new National Anthem is 'Free to Be You and Me...'
I actually liked that album when I was much younger (like, at ages 4 - 7).

“There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.

What a piece of shit he is.

[the OlLine Rebel]

It’s amazing how many times people don’t read the by-line and realize it’s just AZ Conservative or Scrappleface. ;-)

[angcat]

It’s not true?

I’m not familiar with those two sites.

[NeoCaveman]

Now that is good satire.

[Michael.SF.]

WWGD? (to Obama)

[redstates4ever]

"I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,”

WTF?????????? And he wants to be PRESIDENT????

[N. Theknow]

Looks as though Obama and Richardson both have a "wide stance."

[Quix]

FLUSH THE IGNORANT ARROGANT TRAITOR DOWN THE GALACTIC TOILET.

WHAT AN OUTRAGE! GRRRR

Lord God, please remove him from public life with great humiliation.

Amen.

[Quix]

So, in this pic, it looks like almost groping himself is supposed to be

MORE DECENT????

SHEESH.

GRRRR

[Quix]

aHHHHHHH A joke then?

Whatever his reasons . . . he deserves to be removed from public life, imho.

“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.”

I had to double check that this wasn't from The Onion or Scrappleface. Unbelievable. This @ssh0le shouldn't be running for president.

AZConservative is a parody site. As far as I know, the picture *is* authentic, though.

[dinodino]

F***ing a**hole.

[Califreak]

The Politics Of Hopelessness.

[John Semmens]

It is semi-true.

Obama doesn’t wear a flag pin and was photographed not saluting the flag.

I have merely divulged his inner thoughts explaining his actions.

[bobNunny]

This putz doesn’t even realize what he just said! He isn’t running for President of the WORLD. He’s running for President of the US. Who cares if the someone in another country doesn’t like us? If putting his hand over his heart alienates that person, that matters to me why? It just hand in hand with his Rev Wright issue, his wife’s issue about not liking America until this, and his association with a known America hating Terrorist. How ANYONE can be taken in by this charlatan is beyond me!

[aweill]

FALSE. www.snopes.com/politics/obama/stance.asp

Please do not disseminate demonstrable falsehoods.

[mrsmith]

Not until the very end... LOL!

Obama’d be perfect in a soft drink or aspirin commercial- give a man his due.
