Sen. Barack Obama's refusal to wear an American flag lapel pin along with a photo of him not putting his hand over his heart during the National Anthem led conservatives on Internet and in the media to question his patriotism.
Now Obama's wife, Michelle, has drawn their ire, too, for saying recently that she's really proud of her country for the first time in her adult life.
Conservative consultants say that combined, the cases could be an issue for Obama in the general election if he wins the nomination, especially as he runs against Vietnam war hero Sen. John McCain.
"The reason it hasn't been an issue so far is that we're still in the microcosm of the Democratic primary," said Republican consultant Roger Stone. "Many Americans will find the three things offensive. Barack Obama is out of the McGovern wing of the party, and he is part of the blame America first crowd."

Black women in general, have a chip on their shoulders.
He doesn’t have to worry...The incredible “rock star” status he has plus the Indies that are going over to him—and his nicer demeanor than McNasty makes him the odds-on favorite, not counting the fact that people are so sick of Bush and the war that they want a change. Can’t blame them for that. He’s an empty suit, but as most people believe the country is controlled by special interest groups and corporations, an empty suit can easily get elected. Look at empty suit Bush...
While Obama and McCain aren’t much different in policy other than the war and the military, they are completely different personalities. McCain would have beaten Hillary because of her negatives, but Obama’s younger and a great orator and has crowd appeal.
Uh, what do you have against Chuck Berry? He does the Duck Walk.
The Wehrmacht used to goosestep.
Oh yeah, the goosestep.
Nothing wrong with Chuck Berry. I just forgot which it was.
As I recall that they will be obligated to lop of his head.
intent on destroying the United States....

Unlike the Americans who used to live here, the “global citizens” now inhabiting the United States do not care about patriotism. It’s only all about them, easy money and having somebody else pay their medical bills. It’s the “new direction” and “change” everyone is talking about.
Thank you and all the other FREEPERS who are consistently exposing this circus ring candidate. Keep up the good work and show him for what he is.
Michelle Obama hasn’t said one thing about the US before the year 2007 that would make her proud to be a citizen of the greatest nation in the history of mankind that has placed her amongst the most privliged of the elite in this country.
I never thought that I would see a spouse of a presidential candidate who was more of a radical, narcissistic, arrogant, hubristic, self-entitled, and maddening solipsist than Hilary Clinton. To the nation’s dismay, I think we have found her. But in the liberal Hyde Park ghetto that she lives in in Chicago, attending cocktail parties with her coterie of liberal U of C academics, Black South Side DemonRat pols, public sector sinecures, NGO flacks and liberal Sun Times columnists, EVERBODY she knows thinks and feels this way.
The ascendency of BHO is the realization of the efforts of all the Cultural Marxists whose ideas were nurtered by the Gramcians who set up the Frankfurt School and spawned cultural radicals like Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse, and Theodore Adorno. Their intellectual progeny are thoroughly ensconced in the MSM, academia, Hollywood, and most importantly in the George Soros directed modern day Democratic Party which is the nest for all the Vipers on the left, the racial identity determininists, the radical feminists, the sexual deviationist lobby, the “watermelon” environmentalists, the open borders crowd and the anti-war seditionists who seek to steal from our magnificent armed forces the victory that they have earned with their blood and valor in the SAME MANNER as they stole our hard earned victory from those of us who are Vietnam vets.
Their apotheosis is the religion of Obama, the Lucifer deciever who would lead this great nation to Fabian Socialist HELL!!!
Spread the word!!!

Should Obama get a compliant Democrat Congress and Senate, the damage done to this country and to liberty as we have known it,would be incalculable. He is the most dangerous presidential candidate since Henry Wallace. Please check this link. It will tell you all that you need to know. There is credible info that could lead one to believe that his Indonesian stepfather to him to Mosque with the intent of making him Muslim. His own campaign said in a LA Time article that he was never a REGULARLY practicing Muslim, leading one to infer that he was an IRREGULARLY practicing Muslim. That is enough for the Muzzies to convict him as an apostate or to accept him as one of the faithful decieving the dhimmis. Check the years 1971-1973 at the link below.

Even if the media does make a big deal about this (they won’t) nothing is going to stop the Obamaroos from supporting their darling. He can do no wrong in their eyes. And let’s not forget, there are many democrats who hate this country and that’s all the more reason for them to want to support this communist.
He’s a patriot.....opposes the war but supports the troops....Barf
BTTT
Obama is McGovern, Carter and Dukakis all rolled into one... just the type of candidate the DemocRATS designed their ‘Super Delegate’ system to prevent getting the nomination. He will defeat himself if he manages to get it.
