Can anyone honestly elect this man President of the United States of America ?
 
 
I had heard about this but a picture is definitely worth 1000 words!  I know where my vote is not going.





Respect
Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem.
Barack Hussein Obama's photo (that's his real name)......the article said he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE.....how in the world can a man like this expect to be our next Commander-in-Chief????

There is more going on than what the picture is showing.

After all none of them are facing the flag which is required when you say the pledge.  Obama, Hillary and ?  are facing one way and Richardson is facing another of which none are facing the huge flag behind them.

Are the 3 watching a flag being presented for the pledge to soon to take place?

There will be stories about each candidate that are not based on facts.  That is part of politics and our privilege of voting.  We have a very split politcal family, so debates are frequent.  Each of us is always searching for facts and there are many non-facts circulating about Obama.  Next it will be Romney and his Morman faith or Huckebee and the Baptists. You just got to love our political system.  But we are Americans and we come from every continent in the world :grouphug;

you want to see his church?

http://www.tucc.org/about.htm


now he is not supposed to be a racisist- he is in fact 1/2 white-yet he belongs to a church that is 'unashamedly black" calling themselves a black church over and over-


now if a white church did that- it would be racsist.....go check out this link and read the about- then go look at the bookstore- some of the books are straight from the 70's- radical socialism at its best.

When you go to the church's website, click onto "ministries" and see the programs they offer to the congregation-----such as, teaching young men to be Christian leaders, Men and Women prayer groups-----every single group listed talks about Christianity and going out to help their community and world.   I don't care if they take pride in their heritage; I take pride in mine.  If you come to my church, you will only find one African-American family there.  We tend to congregate with those of the same background and interests.     

This is an interesting year for politics.  I just keep reading--hopefully by November I will know who to vote for!! :rofl;

There will be stories about each candidate that are not based on facts.


And as we know, prejudice and bigotry are part of human nature.

That would be only one of many things.

No having his hand over his heart shows disrespect to all those that have died for this country.  From the Revolution War until today.  Even more is his view to give amnesty to 20+ million illegals.

The thing that gets me with blacks, it is all right for them to have all black schools, all black beauty pagents,
all black this, that, and the other.  But whites are not allowed to do this.  I f we do, we are racists.  I believe
blacks are more racists than whites.
