Election 2008: How is it a front-runner for the highest office in the land can reject an American flag on his lapel but permit the display of a huge Cuban flag at one of his offices, emblazoned with a mass murderer's mug?
Improbable as it sounds, it's true. Barack Obama, displaying the same "anything goes" standard of patriotism he showed when he ostentatiously refused to wear a U.S. flag in his lapel, now shows he's got a whole different idea about patriotism. One of Obama's volunteer offices in Houston was caught operating under a huge flag of communist Cuba with Che Guevara's face printed on it, according to images shown on Fox News. Flak from bloggers ensued — followed, of course, by spin control.
But rather than repudiate the image, Obama would only call it "inappropriate," apparently without insisting it be taken down. That contrasts with his dismissal of his Senate colleagues who wear lapel flags as "hypocrites." Some hypocrites.
The display of the Castroite flag with Che's picture on it sends a particularly disturbing message about his campaign. Apparently, Obama tends to attract the kind of people who think of mass murderers like Che and Fidel as romantic revolutionaries. Those same people see Obama as a man with a messianic message. These are the voters he'll be indebted to should he win higher office.

Maybe. But it wasn’t Obama who sold US Missle technology to the Chinese in 1995-96.
Obama is a college radical wack job. The Clinton's are college radicals corrupt enough to lie about it.
Of the two Clinton inc looks a lot more dangerous. Since the GOP is going to get it’s butt handed it. Maybe stupid but honest Obama is less dangerous then cynical and evil Clinton inc.

I am listening to his speech right now, and Hillary looks like friggin’ Goldwater compared to this Marxis dipshit. Bottomline: if you are middle class or above, get ready for a helluva financial raping come April 15.

I don’t think it will matter to the Obamians. They will simply dismiss all facts about Obama as “typical DC sleazy politics”. I really do not think Clinton Inc can stop this guy. She just got completely trashed in VA today. 67-32 is not just defeat, it humiliation. This is a red southern state that Clinton should have won!

If this is true, and I just listened to a very long interview with the guy, Obama is dead meat. The media knows about this, but they are spiking it big time.

Your kidding me ?
The radical Muslim socialist that is preaching wealth redistribution is var more left and far more dangerous for this country
Lets review Osama Obama
1. he got his senate seat thru pulling one of the sleaziest political moves in decades by getting a fellow Daly hack judge to reopen SEALED divorce papers of his Repub rival who was winning the race at the time!
2. Openly wants to immediately pull out of Iraqi.
3.States his is uncomfortable with a large military presence in the world.
4. Wants to legalize drugs such as POT .
5. Wants to immediately socialize medicine.
6, wants to implement the Fairness doctrine to shut us up.
Now do you see who is way more dangerous.
He tries to hide all this agenda by using the vague cliche “We need Change”.

I’m definatelty considering it.
I have 6 months after the next Pres takes office (whoever it is).
I plan to have enough money to move Mrs. McD and the Brat to Australia or Scotland if need be.

"We're not out to rock the boat. We're out to sink the boat."The quote is from the 1969 movie Putney Swope, but I think it applies. Swope is the token black exec at a Madison Ave advertising agency where, through a strange quirk of fate, he becomes president when his boss dies. He fires all the white execs except the Token White, and hires a bunch of dope-smoking bro's wearing Afros and dashikis.
A very funny movie, but I can just imagine the White House run by these guys. Don't like the picture? Neither do I.
