LOL, did anyone notice the news headline when you log into Yahoo mail?
Obama: "I will never question the patriotism of others in this campaign."

LMAO, um, HOW COULD HE??? He's running against John McCain for goodness sakes, how can he even consider questioning his patriotism??? LMAO, what a freaking joke. Hm, let me see, Retired from the military as a Captain, served in Vietnam, injured heliping another pilot escape the USS Forrestal fire, captured by the Vietnamese and held as a POW in 1967, and has received the Silver Star, Legion of Merit medal, Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star, Purple Hearts, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal, Navy Commendation Medal, Combat Action Ribbon, and Prisoner of War Medal according to wiki, and they even had the side-note "(partial list)" under that so he's probably won more.

Oh yah, Obama, someone who has never served in the military is going to question the patriotism of a downright war hero...

Of course he's going to say he's not going to question anyone's patriotism, the fact is, HE CAN'T! If it were up to him, he would make bringing up service and patriotism illegal in the next election because that will only help him, lol.

Oh man, it never stops amazing me what I read in the news...

It sickens me. I saw him and Clinton speaking at a rally and I almost moved out of the country.

When a man can't face the flag and place his hand over his heart during the National Anthem or the Pledge of Allegience, then he needs to question his own patriotism.

Amen.

Bah...poor little Obama is just whining because his patriotism has already been called into question. Its more like a "Boo hoo" [sniffle-sniffle] "I would never say that about you. Waaaaaa!!!!"

I'm fairly certain that this jackass won't be elected. I know of quite a few people in the DoD who are registered Democrats, and have all said the same thing, "Well, it looks like I'll be voting Republican again."

Throw in all of his pie-in-the-sky promises and there you go...dead man walking.

Yeah, Obama hasn't had enough political xp to be the president. People need to realize that he is just "talking the talk" and not showing the public how he is going to "walk the walk"

Thank you! It seems to me that most people that are supporting Obama are really just supporting him blindly because he's not George W. Whenever someone says that Obama has enough experience to be president I always ask them to give me an example of his past experience... and they never can!

Honestly, no one has enough experience to be President until they are elected. Some people just do not have what it takes to be an effective President.

Well, both of them are senators, but McCain has been in the political arena for much longer. But it is strange that we had 3 senators as our top 3 hopefuls and no governors or anything else...

Y'all should read the thread I just made about patriotism.

Obama was just trying to point out the ignorance of this country. Its all about patriotism, patriotism, patriotism... Oh please. Get over it.... I understand you care about your country, but dont be so damn close-minded. OK patriotism, but we got a million other things to worry about.

By the way I don't think Obama was the best candidate this year... Probably it was John Edwards.

But I DO NOT want John McCain...

Obama was in Baghdad recently and snubbed the troops that were there to greet him. Way to show that you wish to be their CINC.

How do you figure? Patriotism is a person caring about and having pride in their country... so you're not asking us to care about our country? Please, don't you be so closed minded, just because it's not important to you, doesn't make it not-important.

Obama is a brilliant orator, but there hasn't been anything that showed me he is up to the task. I don't want to vote for someone that I "hope" will do a good job as president, I want to vote for someone I have confidence in.

Well can you agree with me on this? neither candidate has impressed me that much.

That man changes his mind more than a room full of women...

Leep Out:

I'm very neutral when it comes to politics, and really don't have a care for them, but some stories raise my eyebrow concerning the Presidential nominees.

Frequenting the pro-Obama site Digg.com, I constantly see videos and stories of McCain blunders, so my opinion of him has been a bit biased. But every now and then a story about Obama creeps in

The lapel flag pin one was a big one, but I have to agree with Obama's words in this video.

Not to mention the irony of the so called 'patriotic' flag pins in this picture:

Obama wouldn't visit with wounded troops as he didn't want to leave his cameras behind. He tried to play it off as the Army didn't want him to visit, yet the Army was all set for him, as long as he left the reporters, cameras and campaign staff behind. Way to go to show that you really want to be the Commander in Chief.

I just always wonder why he's going around to other countries meeting all of these people as if he's already president...

In my opinion, all he's missing is a clown suit...

Leep out;
