Obama, facing a vet, opens his election ads with patriotism

Weeks after his presumptive Republican presidential competitor, Sen. Barack Obama is launching his first general election national television ad. And the subject -- patriotism -- shows where his campaign may feel he's weak right now.

[wm_tate]

What does it say when the presidential nominee of one of this country's two major parties feels that his weakest point may be the most vital of qualities for any national leader--his patriotism? Both about the party, and the man?

He's a lying Marxist piece of Buffalo dung. He is a racist. He is anti-American. He is a muzzie murdering thug supporter. He hates the military. He has already said that he would cut weapons systems. Right, unarm the military, that's the ticket Osama.

That tv ad needs a muslim woman peering in the window behind him.

Then hauled off of course..

[Corin Stormhands]

Facing a vet?

Is he going to get tutored?

[svcw]

There is nothing in this ad that is the truth. What a freaking liar.
Barry is an anti-white, anti-American, anti-Semitic bigot.
God have mercy on the USA if he is elected.

Sorry, Hussein, your own actions (ie. the flag saluting and the lapel pin), your own words, your own assocaitions, your wife's words, your policies, your stand on the issues...all reveal you for the anti-Ammerican, marxist enemy within that you are.

You will not be able to wash your own stink off with any craftly produced false-patriotic media blitz for those of us who have eyes to see, hearts that feel pride in this country, memories that recall what you have done and what you are, minds that think, or ears that hear.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

My Sister’s cat hates to face the vet. The cat will run and hide under the bed if it knows it’s taking a trip in the cat carrier.

I love it!

He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Middle-Named will waste $500,000-$1,000,000 producing a commercial protesting his patriotism that can be demolished by a 10 cent postcard picture:

Barack Hussein Obama's "patriotism." Bring. It. On.

[C210N]

Its GREAT to know that Obama is now Reporting for Duty

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[FFranco]

The idea that a Democrat can be patriotic is a joke, and everyone knows it.

OBAMA: I'm Barack Obama. America is a country of strong families and strong values. My life's been blessed by both. I was raised by a single mom and my grandparents. We didn't have much money, but they taught me values straight from the Kansas heartland where they grew up. Accountability and self-reliance. Love of country. Working hard without making excuses. Treating your neighbor as you'd like to be treated. It's what guided me as I worked my way up - taking jobs and loans to make it through college. It's what led me to pass up Wall Street jobs and go to Chicago instead, helping neighborhoods devastated when steel plants closed. That's why I passed laws moving people from welfare to work, cut taxes for working families and extended health care for wounded troops who'd been neglected. I approved this message because I'll never forget those values, and if I have the honor of taking the oath of office as President, it will be with a deep and abiding faith in the country I love. NEVER does he mention where he grew up: Indonesia and Hawaii.

HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-MIDDLE-NAMED HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm here all week.

Please be sure to tip your waiters and waitresses. They work very hard.

From 'Dreams of my Father', "In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school" "I studied the Koran.." +++++++++++++++++++ From 'Audacity of Hope: "Lolo (Obama's step father) followed Islam ...."I looked to Lolo for guidance". .

I like your tagline, (Obama is a lying piece of Marxist dung. He will destroy this Republic. He is an idiot.)

[taraytarah]

I was raised by a single mom and my grandparents.

Oops. Dad and step-dad never existed in this ad.

Maybe he should have written "Dreams From My Mom and My Grandparents."

[smedley64]

He’s a patriot of convenience, which means he’s not at all a patriot. Just like he’s a “christian of convenience.” He became a ‘christian’ once it was explained to him that being a christian was the way to go if he wanted to pursue a political career, but thanks to his own stupidity, he selected a ‘christian’ church that is more closely related to “the nation of islam” than true Christianity. This man is an empty suit with an empty soul, and people are going to find that out if they’re stupid enough to elect him. God help us.

[vpintheak]

Couldn’t have said it better myself! Hooah! (Or however you spell it)

[Ramius]

No... he’s reporting for doody.
