Ben Johnson,Floyd Reports
One of the president’s aims in his address last night was to clean up his image as the community-organizer-in-chief,the president who refuses to wear a flag pin on his lapel or put his hand over his heart for the national anthem. He attempted to boost his patriotism by rhetorically hitching himself to George W. Bush In his address last night,Barack Obama said:
This afternoon,I spoke to former President George W. Bush. It’s well known that he and I disagreed about the war from its outset. Yet no one can doubt President Bush’s support for our troops,or his love of country and commitment to our security. As I’ve said,there were patriots who supported this war,and patriots who opposed it. And all of us are united in appreciation for our servicemen and women,and our hopes for Iraqis’future. (Emphasis in original.)
The emphasis was deliberate. Obama intended to put himself on the same level as President Bush,who regularly got misty in the presence of the military and sobbed openly with those who had lost family members. Obama’s speech made it sound as though Bush’s patriotism were being questioned.
Left-wingers display unmatched outrage when they believe anyone “questions”their patriotism. (They spend the rest of their time telling us how much America sucks.) If President Obama wants to enjoy the respect of patriotic Americans, he should do it the old fashioned way:he should earn it.
Even as this is being written,thousands of military men are threatened with being disenfranchised in the midterm elections. And the Obama administration seems to be going out of its way to make sure their votes do not count.
Any patriotic American who values his freedom that does NOT question obama's (and liberal's) loyalty and patriotism is a damned fool.
He has paraded around the world bowing down before our avowed enemies and appologized to them for our existance;called our Constitution a flawed,racist,biggoted document full of negative liberties that needs to be eradicated;both he and his wife were publically ashamed of this country untill it nominated and elected him to offece. He is a full fleged communist that hates this country's founding principles (for making slaves out of 'his'people,convieniently ignoring that it also freed them and made them our own) and is now exacting reparations,calling it "payback time".
Only a complete idiot,a fool,or a democrat would not question his patriotism.

many in the military don't care for or respect Obama. Their votes would go against his election of 2012.
