Has Barack Obama ever done anything in his life to suggest that he genuinely loves America?

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...

At least she holds her hand over her heart when the Pledge is said which is more than that black POS does.

...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.

This is the scariest element of Government Employees’ Unions - like - who the hell represents the EMPLOYER aka The Taxpayers??????

Dangerous question, I think we have lost enough fighting over the father land stuff.

Has Barack Obama ever done anything in his life to suggest...

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.

When he was sworn into the senate, did he swear on the Bible to uphold the constitution of the U.S.?

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.

There's a phrase that describes Obama to a tee. It's malignant narcissism.

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.

Barack, who is Hussein, Obama, is the absolute apex of the domestic enemy, subversive, anti-American movement in this country.

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

...he probably served jury duty. ... so jury duty probably doesn't qualify as an indicator of love of America.

Well, you got me there. I was trying to help, digging down REALLY deep for any rationale. I failed.

he went bowling once?

Let me point out something that's probably obvious:

Why?

[x]

Michelle's claim that the Obamas spurned the capitalist world to work in "public service" is wrong. The big law firms don't make most of those they hire associates, so Barack and Michelle had to go elsewhere, and arranged cushy landings for themselves in politics and at the University of Chicago.

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.

[Enterprise]

I hope a reporter asks Obama which state is his favorite out of all the 57 states.

[Salvation]

**Has Barack Obama ever done anything in his life to suggest that he genuinely loves America?** I don't think so. This picture demonstrates his disdain for American. Don't forget it!

[Godwin1]

Hell no. Obama’s entire message is that the country sucks at home and is a force for evil abroad. This explains why he found Wright's paranoid ravings and his own wife's unseemly whining so unremarkable until others in his campaign informed the parochial Obama—he had lived entirely within the HydePark Brie Chablis, and South Side Permanent Victim Universe—that most Americans do not share his dark view of our country. Gun clinging, God loving fools these other American may be, but he needs their votes.

[wideminded]

At the age of 10 he chose to stay in Hawaii to go to school rather than returning with his mother to Indonesia.

I’ve placed Hillary in the ‘irrelevant’ category...for now. And that feels great, let me tell you...

Feels so great, it bears repeating...;^)

...that black POS does.

wondering...as opposed to him being a white POS?
