Obama: No Flag Pin, Because It Doesn't Represent Hope, Change

AMERIKA --- Barak Hussein Obama explained clearly the reason he does not wear an American flag pin on his lapel like all other presidential candidates.  It does not represent hope and change.

"I am the candidate of hope, change, and the future," said Obama.  "I am very patriotic, so this has nothing to do with patriotism.  The American flag just doesn't represent hope, change, and the future to me.  And I am only focused on those areas right now.  Anything that does not fit with that theme has no part in my life.  Just like I would never wear a picture of George Bush on my lapel.  Or a crucifix.  Or a dollar sign.  Those things have no place in my theme.  My hopeful dream of a changing future of hopefulness can only be realized with my full focus on those areas.  And it has nothing to do with patriotism."

This is good. Keep hammering on the phony issues that decent mericans are sick to death of -- make believe patriotism worn on the sleeve, hillbilly populist patriotism -- Obama is going kick McCain's ass because decent people are sick and tired of twit-minded politics like this. It's too bad because McCain is actually a decent man, but the pig-nosed, populist segment of his supporters will end up driving votes to Obama.

Do you wear a lapel pin everyday? If not, you must be unpatriotic! This country has had enough of fake gestures of patriotism. A lapel pin doesn't make you patriotic, your deeds do.

So, how stupid do you feel now that McCain didn't wear his "im patriotic" flag pin last night during his acceptance speech??????
I guess he is UNPATRIOTIC.

Shelly, thanks for your comment. I feel very stupid now. McCain is clearly ashamed of his country, and I will never vote for him. I'm going to shut down this website tonight and become a community organizer. You have shown me the folly of my ways, and for that I thank you. Obama and Michelle are the true patriots who leave no doubt that they have always loved America. McCain has nothing on them.
