“She said she meant no disrespect of any kind....blah, blah, blah”

HOW MANY TIMES IN THIS ELECTION WILL WE HEAR:

1.) Oh, Obama didn’t know...
2.) It was just my idea, me and her, me and him,...
3.) I have no relation to the campaign.
4.) I’m just a volunteer, Obama’s not paying me.

Obama privately calls it the Czars Strangled Manner.

Post Poll - Alternate Anthem
What do you think of the song sung at Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper’s State of the City speech, which surprised organizers by adapting the words of a song known as “the black national anthem” to the tune of “The Star-Spangled Banner?”
(Read the story and hear the song.)

Post Poll - Alternate Anthem

hehe...I like the choices offered by that poll. What's the difference between "didn't like it" and "hated it" ?

You know all 67.94% of the "hated it" votes were by whites (like myself). Looks like a setup to me to intentionally inject the word "hate". Now they can say "see...most whites "hate" and are racist.

Instead, Marie performed the song "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing," which also is known as the "black national anthem."

She sang the words to the tune of the Star Spangled Banner. I would've cut off her mic and started singing the real anthem as loudly as I could.
