COMMANDER IN  CHIEF?

THIS ABOUT WRAPS IT UP FOR  ME!

According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10,  Sec.  171, 
"During 
rendition of the national anthem when the flag  is  displayed, all present 
except those in uniform are expected to  stand at  attention facing the flag 
with 
the right hand over the  heart." Hot on the  heels of his explanation for why 
he no longer  wears a flag pin, presidential  candidate Senator Barack 
Hussein  
Obama was forced to explain why he doesn't  follow protocol when the  
National 
Anthem is played."

"As I've said about the flag pin,  I  don't want to be perceived as taking 
sides."
- Barack Hussein  Obama

Obama went on to say  "There are a lot of people in the  world to  whom the 
American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the  anthem itself  conveys a 
war-like message. You know, the bombs  bursting in air and all. It  should be 
swapped 
for something less  parochial and less bellicose. I like  the song 'I'd Like 
to Teach the  World to Sing.' If that were our anthem,  then I might salute  
it."

This guy wants to be our president?  Who would vote for him,  pray  tell???

<>< <>< <>< <><  <><  <>< <>< <>< <><  <><  <>< <>< <><

To those of  you who find fault with  this, and I know of a couple of people 
who  will ... WAKE UP!!!  DAMN  IT, WAKE UP!!!

This man is NOT an  American!!!   Not in his heart ... assuming he has one.   

This man will NOT represent the  former-United States of America,  if he is 
elected ... God  forbid.

This man is a terror ...  an  abomination ... a threat to what's left of our  
 
Republic.

If you are even considering a vote  for this man,  please wake up and check 
the FACTS about him.

Below  are a few lines from Obama's books “ his  words:

>From Dreams  of My Father: I  ceased to advertise my mother's race at the 
age 
of  12 or 13, when I began to  suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating  
myself to whites.

grievance and animosity against my  mothers  race.

>From Dreams of My Father: There was  something  about him that made me wary, 
a 
little too sure of himself,  maybe. And  white.

>From Dreams of My Father: It remained   necessary to prove which side you 
were 
on, to show your loyalty to the  black  masses, to strike out and name names.

>From Dreams of My  Father: I never emulate  white men and brown men whose 
fates didn't  speak to my own. It was into my  father's image, the black man, 
son  
of Africa, that I'd packed all the  attributes I sought in myself,  the 
attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois  and  Mandela.

I think I  Understand

LET ME SEE IF I HAVE  THIS STRAIGHT:

• HIS FATHER WAS A KENYAN, MOSLEM, WE HAVE SEEN  PICTURES  OF HIS AFRICAN 
"FAMILY."

• HIS MOTHER IS A KANSAN,  ATHEIST, WHITE - WHERE ARE THE  PICTURES OF HIS 
KANSAN, WHITE MOTHER  AND HIS WHITE GRANDPARENTS WHO RAISED  HIM?

• HIS FATHER DESERTED  HIS MOTHER AND HIM WHEN HE WAS VERY  YOUNG AND WENT 
BACK TO HIS  FAMILY IN KENYA.

• HIS MOTHER MARRIED AN INDONESIAN MOSLEM AND TOOK HIM  TO  JAKARTA, WHERE HE 
WAS SCHOOLED IN A MOSLEM SCHOOL.

• HIS  MOTHER RETURNED TO HAWAII AND HE WAS RAISED BY HIS  WHITE KANSAN  
GRANDPARENTS.

• HE LATER WENT TO THE BEST HIGH DOLLAR SCHOOLS  ...  HOW?

• HE LIVES IN A $1.4 MILLION DOLLAR HOUSE THAT HE   ACQUIRED THROUGH A DEAL 
WITH A WEALTHY FUND RAISER ... HOW?

• HE  "WORKED" AS A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST IN CHICAGO - HAS  NEVER HELD A  
PRODUCTIVE JOB.  THE PRESIDENCY IS NOT A CIVIL RIGHTS POST  NOR  IS IT 
SUBJECT TO 
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION SET ASIDES.

• HE ENTERED  POLITICS AT THE STATE LEVEL AND THEN THE  NATIONAL LEVEL WHERE 
HE HAS  MINIMAL EXPERIENCE.

• HE IS PROUD OF HIS "AFRICAN HERITAGE" BUT IT  SEEMS THAT  HIS ONLY AFRICAN 
CONNECTION WAS THAT HIS AFRICAN FATHER  GOT A WHITE GIRL  PREGNANT AND 
DESERTED 
HER.  I DIDN'T KNOW THAT  SPERM CARRIED A  "CULTURAL" GENE.  WHERE IS THE 
PRIDE IN HIS  WHITE  CULTURE?

• HE GOES TO A "AFROCENTRIC" CHURCH THAT HATES   WHITES,&  HATES JEWS, AND 
BLAMES AMERICA FOR ALL THE WORLDS PERCEIVED  FAULTS AND THEN  REPEATEDLY 
COVERS UP 
FOR THE PASTOR AND THE  CHURCH.

• HE CLAIMS THAT HE COULD NOT CONFRONT HIS PASTOR BUT HE   WANTS US TO 
BELIEVE THAT HE CAN CONFRONT NORTH KOREA AND IRAN,   RIGHT?!?!?!

YEAH, I THINK I SEE HOW HE COULD BE A UNITER AND BRING  US  TOGETHER.  I 
THINK 
THE HOPE IS THAT HE HOPES NO ONE WILL PUT  THE PIECES  TOGETHER.

Say What,   Barrack?
_http://www.newmediajournal.us/staff/p_hollrah/03162007.htm_  
(http://www.newmediajournal.us/staff/p_hollrah/03162007.htm) 
Paul R.  Hollrah, March 16, 2007

Tuning in to C-Span recently, I found myself  listening to a speech by  
Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, Jr.  He  was standing in the pulpit of a  
black church 
in Selma, Alabama, and  as I studied the body language of the  dozen or so 
black ministers  standing behind the senator, I couldn’t help but  be 
reminded of 
the  little head-bobbing dolls that people used to place in  the rear windows 
 
of their 1957 Chevrolets. If their reactions are any  indication, the  new 
Schlickmeister of the Democrat Party is actually a  pretty  accomplished 
public 
speaker.

However, as he spoke, I found my bull_  _ _ _ alarm going off,  repeatedly. 
But I couldn’t quite figure out  why until I actually read  excerpts of his 
speech several days later.  Here’s part of what he  said:

"... something happened back here in  Selma, Alabama. Something happened  in 
Birmingham that sent out what  Bobby Kennedy called, “ripples of hope all  
around the world.”  Something happened when a bunch of women decided they  
were 
going to  walk instead of ride the bus after a long day of doing  somebody 
else's  
laundry, looking after somebody else's children.

“When (black) men  who had PhD’s decided ‘that's enough’ and ‘we’re  going 
to stand up  for our dignity,’ that sent a shout across oceans so that  my  
grandfather began to imagine something different for his son. His  son,  who 
grew 
up herding goats in a small village in Africa could  suddenly set  his sights 
a 
little higher and believe that maybe a  black man in this world  had a chance.

“… So the Kennedy’s decided  we're going to do an air lift. We're going  to 
go to Africa and start  bringing young Africans over to this country and  
give 
them  scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country  
America  
is.

“This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and  came  over 
to 
this country. He met this woman whose great   great-great-great-grandfather 
had owned slaves; but she had a good  idea  there was some craziness going on 
because they looked at each  other and they  decided that we know that, (in) 
the 
world as it has  been, it might not be  possible for us to get together and 
have 
a  child. There was something  stirring across the country because of what  
happened in Selma, Alabama,  because some folks are willing to march  across 
a 
bridge. So they got  together and Barack Obama, Jr., was  born. So don't tell 
me I 
don't have a  claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't  tell me I’m not coming home to 
Selma,  Alabama."

Okay, so  what’s wrong with that? It all sounds good … but is it?

Obama told his  audience that, because some folks had the courage to  “march 
across a  bridge” in Selma, Alabama, his mother, a white woman from  Kansas, 
and  
his father, a black Muslim from Africa, took heart. It gave them  the  
courage 
to get married and have a child. The problem with that   characterization is 
that Barrack Obama, Jr., was born on August 4,  1961,  while the first of 
three 
marches across that bridge in Selma  didn’t occur  until March 7, 1965, at 
least five years after Obama’s  parents met.

Obama went on to tell his audience that the Kennedys, Jack  and Bobby,  
decided to do an airlift. They would bring some young  Africans over so that  
they 
could be educated and learn all about  America. His grandfather heard  that 
call 
and sent his son, Barrack  Obama, Sr., to America.

The problem with that scenario is that, having  been born in August  1961, 
the 
future senator was not conceived until  sometime in November 1960.  So, if 
his 
African grandfather heard  words that “sent a shout across  oceans,” 
inspiring him to send his  goat-herder son to America, it was not  Democrat 
Jack 
Kennedy he  heard, or his brother Bobby, it was Republican  President Dwight 
D.  
Eisenhower.

Obama’s speech is reminiscent of Al Gore's claim of  having invented the  
Internet, Hillary Clinton’s claim of having been  named after the first man  
to 
climb Mt. Everest … even though she was  born five years and seven months  
before 
Sir Edmund climbed the  mountain, and John Kerry's imaginary trip to  
Cambodia.

As one of  my black friends, Eddie Huff, has said, “We need to ask some  very 
 
serious questions of the senator from Illinois. It’s not enough to  be  
black, 
it’s not enough to be articulate, and it’s not enough to  be eloquent  and a 
media darling … The only question will be how deaf  an ear, or how  blind an 
eye, will people turn in order to turn a  frog into a prince.”

It appears that Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, Jr.  is not a “fresh  face,” 
as media sycophants like to describe him,  he’s just another in a long  line 
of 
Democrat snake oil salesmen.

On The Campaign Trail, Obama Climbs   Back On His Anti-Gun  Horse
_http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=3779_  
(http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=3779) 
Friday,  April 04, 2008 

With the Democratic Presidential nomination process  turning into what  would 
have been an unthinkably close race only a  few months ago, we continue  to 
see 
the political contenders pulling  out all of the rhetorical stops to  
distinguish themselves as the  “candidate of choice” for their  
constituency.  We also 
continue  to see the candidates test the limits  of credibility in the 
process.  

Last month, we reported on the hypocrisy of Democratic  presidential  hopeful 
Barack Obama.  We detailed his advocacy of  a law to forbid  federally 
licensed 
gun dealers from legally  selling  constitutionally-protected products 
(firearms) in huge  geographical areas,  without holding purveyors of 
pornography to 
the  same standard.   Apparently, Obama is in the habit of saying and  doing 
whatever he feels is  politically expedient at the time, and  for his 
particular 
audience.   Well, he’s at it again, and  changing horses in the middle of the 
campaign  stream. 

While  on the campaign trail earlier this year, Obama tried to reassure   
pro-gun voters by telling them, “I have no intention of taking away  folks’  
guns.” 
But an April 3 article in Townhall.com reports that  Obama in  now embracing 
his well-documented anti-gun leanings.   “I am not in  favor of concealed 
weapons,” he told the Pittsburgh  Tribune.  “I think  that creates a 
potential 
atmosphere where  more innocent people could [get  shot during] altercations.”
   
Obama went on to discuss, “…cracking down  on the various loopholes  that 
exist 
in terms of background checks …,” and,  “… reasonable,  thoughtful gun 
control 
measure[s]. …” 

It obviously comes as no  surprise that Obama is anti-gun.  In  fact, as with 
Hillary, we  are so well aware of Obama’s hostility toward the  Second 
Amendment  that in the 2004 elections, NRA’s Political Victory Fund  
(NRA-PVF)  issued 
Obama a well-deserved “F” grade.   What’s surprising is  that he thinks he 
can 
slowly change his message and we  won’t  notice.  Incidentally, in taking his 
latest position, Obama is   opposing the law in 48 of our 50 states, which 
afford law-abiding citizens  a  means to carry a concealed firearm for 
personal  
protection.

In truth, both candidates’ records are well documented  and show,  
unquestionably, that they’re both anti-gun.  (Neither  joined more than  300 
of their 
congressional colleagues in signing a  brief in the Heller case  in support 
of the 
Second Amendment.)   For either to now try to convince  us otherwise is 
ridiculous.

Free Kittens

Little Suzy had a box of very small kittens  that she was trying to give  
away, so she had them out on the street  corner with a sign "FREE KITTENS"  
next to 
them.  Suddenly a  long line of big black cars came up with a  policeman on a 
motorcycle  in front.  The cars all stopped and a tall  man stepped out from  
the biggest car.

"Hi, little girl, what do you have there in the  box?" he asked.

"Kittens" Little Suzy says. "They're so small, their  eyes are not even  open 
yet." 

"What kind of kittens are  they?" he asked. 

"Democrats," says Little Suzy. 

The tall man  smiled, returned to his car and they drove away. 

Sensing a good photo  opportunity, Sen. Obama called his campaign  manager 
and 
told him  about the little girl with the kittens.  It was  planned that they  
would return the next day, have all the media there and  tell  everyone about 
these "democrat" kittens. 

The next day, Little Suzy  is standing out on the corner with her box of  
kittens with the "FREE  KITTENS" sign and the big motorcade of black cars  
pulled 
up with all  the vans and trucks from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN.   Everyone had  
their cameras ready and then Sen. Obama got out of his limo and   walked up 
to 
Little Suzy. 

"Now don't be frightened," he said, I  just want you to tell all these  nice 
news people just what kind of  kittens you're giving away today." 

"Yes sir," Suzy said, "they are all  REPUBLICAN kittens." 

Taken by surprise, Sen. Obama said, "But  yesterday you told me they  were 
DEMOCRATS." 

Little Suzy  says, "Yes, I know. But, today they have their eyes  open."

It Couldn't Be Said Any  Better

2 MICHELLES, 2  AMERICAS   &  SHAME vs. PRIDE 
By Michelle  Malkin

Like Michelle Obama, I am a "woman of color." Like Michelle  Obama, I am  a 
working mother of two young children. Like Michelle  Obama, I am a member  of 
the 
13th generation of Americans born since  the founding of our great  nation.

Unlike Michelle Obama, I can't  keep track of the number of times I've  been 
proud - really proud -  of my country since I was born and privileged to  
live 
in it.   At a recent speech in Milwaukee on behalf of her husband's  
Democratic  
presidential campaign, Mrs. Obama remarked, "For the first time  in  my adult 
lifetime, I am really proud of my country, and not just  because  Barack has 
done
well, but because I think people are hungry  for change."  

Mrs. Obama's statement was met with warm applause  from other Barack  
supporters who have also apparently been devoid of  pride in their country  
during 
their adult lifetimes. Or maybe it was  just a Pavlovian response to  the 
word 
"change." What a sad, empty,  narcissistic, ungrateful, unthinking  lot. 

I'm just seven years  younger than Mrs. Obama. We've grown up and lived  in 
the same era.  And yet, her self-absorbed attitude is completely foreign  to 
me.  
What planet is she living on? Since when was now the only time the   American 
people have ever been "hungry for change"? 

Michelle, ma  belle, Barack is not the center of the universe.  Newsflash: 
The  
Obamas did not invent "change" any more than Hillary invented   "leadership" 
or John McCain invented "straight talk." We were both  adults  when the 
Berlin 
Wall fell, Michelle. That was  earth-shattering change. We've  lived through 
two 
decades' worth of  peaceful, if contentious, election  cycles under the rule 
of law,  which have brought about "change" and  upheaval, both good and bad. 
We  
were adults through several launches of the  space shuttle, in case  you were 
snoozing. And as adults, we've witnessed and  benefited from  dizzyingly 
rapid 
advances in technology, communications,  science,  and medicine pioneered by 
American entrepreneurs who yearned to   change the world and succeeded. You 
want 
"change"? Go ask the patients  whose  lives have been improved and extended 
by 
American  pharmaceutical companies  that have flourished under the best 
economic  
system in the world. 

If American ingenuity, a robust  constitutional republic, and the fall  of 
communism don't do it for  you, hon, then how about American heroism and  
sacrifice? How about  every Memorial Day? Every Veterans Day? Every  
Independence Day?  
Every Medal of Honor ceremony? Has she never attended a  welcome-home  
ceremony 
for the troops? For me, there's the thrill of the Blue   Angels roaring over 
cloudless skies. And the somber awe felt amid  the  hallowed waters that 
surround the sunken U.S.S. Arizona at the  Pearl Harbor  memorial. 

Every naturalization ceremony I've  attended, where hundreds of new  
Americans 
raised their hands to  swear an oath of allegiance to this land of  liberty, 
has been a  moment of pride for me. So have the awesome displays of  American 
 
compassion at home and around the world. When millions of Americans   rallied 
to 
help victims of the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia -  including  members of 
the 
U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group  that sped from  Hong Kong to 
assist survivors - my heart filled with  pride. It did again  when the 
citizens of 
Houston ope ned their arms  to Hurricane Katrina victims  and folks across 
the 
country rushed to  their churches and offices of the  Salvation Army and Red 
Cross to  volunteer.

How about American resilience? Does that not make you proud?  Only a  heart 
of 
stone could be unmoved by the strength, valor, and  determination  displayed 
in New York , Washington , D.C., and  Shanksville, Pa. , on  September 11, 
2001.

I believe it was  Michael Kinsley who quipped that a gaffe is when a  
politician tells  the truth. In this case, it's what happens when an elite  
Democratic  
politician's wife says what a significant portion of the party's   base 
really 
believes to be the truth: America is more a source of shame  than  pride.

Michelle Obama has achieved enormous professional  success, political  
influence, and personal acclaim in America - Ivy  League educated, she's  
been lauded 
by Essence magazine as one of the  25 World's Most Inspiring  Women; by 
Vanity 
Fair as one of the ten  World's Best-Dressed Women; and  named one of "The 
Harvard 100" most  influential alumni. She has had an  amazingly blessed 
life.  But  
you wouldn't know it from her campaign  rhetoric and her griping  about her 
and her husband's student loans.

For years, we've heard  liberals get offended at any challenge to their  
patriotism. And so  they are again aggrieved and rising to explain away Mrs.  
Obama's  remarks.

Lady Michelle and her defenders protest too   much.

• HIS MOTHER IS A KANSAN, ATHEIST, WHITE - WHERE  ARE THE PICTURES OF HIS 
KANSAN, WHITE MOTHER AND HIS WHITE GRANDPARENTS WHO  RAISED HIM?

• HIS FATHER DESERTED HIS MOTHER AND HIM WHEN HE WAS VERY  YOUNG AND WENT 
BACK TO HIS FAMILY IN KENYA.

• HE LIVES IN A $1.4 MILLION DOLLAR HOUSE THAT HE ACQUIRED  THROUGH A DEAL 
WITH A WEALTHY FUND RAISER ... HOW?

• HE "WORKED" AS A  CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST IN CHICAGO - HAS NEVER HELD A

HE HAS MINIMAL EXPERIENCE.

• HE IS PROUD OF HIS  "AFRICAN HERITAGE" BUT IT SEEMS THAT HIS ONLY AFRICAN

Paul  R. Hollrah, March 16, 2007

Tuning in to C-Span recently, I found myself  listening to a speech by 
Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, Jr. He was standing in  the pulpit of a black church 
in Selma, Alabama, and as I studied the body  language of the dozen or so 
black ministers standing behind the senator, I  couldn’t help but be reminded of 
the little head-bobbing dolls that people  used to place in the rear windows of 
their 1957 Chevrolets. If their reactions  are any indication, the new 
Schlickmeister of the Democrat Party is actually a  pretty accomplished public 
speaker.

However, as he spoke, I found my  bull_ _ _ _ alarm going off, repeatedly. 
But I couldn’t quite figure out why  until I actually read excerpts of his 
speech several days later. Here’s part  of what he said:

"... something happened back here in Selma, Alabama.  Something happened in 
Birmingham that sent out what Bobby Kennedy called,  “ripples of hope all 
around the world.” Something happened when a bunch of  women decided they were 
going to walk instead of ride the bus after a long day  of doing somebody else's 
laundry, looking after somebody else's  children.

“When (black) men who had PhD’s decided ‘that's enough’ and  ‘we’re going 
to stand up for our dignity,’ that sent a shout across oceans so  that my 
grandfather began to imagine something different for his son. His son,  who grew 
up herding goats in a small village in Africa could suddenly set his  sights a 
little higher and believe that maybe a black man in this world had a  chance.

“… So the Kennedy’s decided we're going to do an air lift.  We're going to 
go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this  country and give 
them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful  country America 
is.

“This young man named Barack Obama got one of those  tickets and came over to 
this country. He met this woman whose great  great-great-great-grandfather 
had owned slaves; but she had a good idea there  was some craziness going on 
because they looked at each other and they decided  that we know that, (in) the 
world as it has been, it might not be possible for  us to get together and have 
a child. There was something stirring across the  country because of what 
happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are  willing to march across a 
bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama, Jr.,  was born. So don't tell me I 
don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell  me I’m not coming home to 
Selma, Alabama."

Okay, so what’s wrong with  that? It all sounds good … but is it?

Obama told his audience that,  because some folks had the courage to “march 
across a bridge” in Selma,  Alabama, his mother, a white woman from Kansas, and 
his father, a black Muslim  from Africa, took heart. It gave them the courage 
to get married and have a  child. The problem with that characterization is 
that Barrack Obama, Jr., was  born on August 4, 1961, while the first of three 
marches across that bridge in  Selma didn’t occur until March 7, 1965, at 
least five years after Obama’s  parents met.

Obama went on to tell his audience that the Kennedys, Jack  and Bobby, 
decided to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over  so that they 
could be educated and learn all about America. His grandfather  heard that call 
and sent his son, Barrack Obama, Sr., to America.

The  problem with that scenario is that, having been born in August 1961, the 
 future senator was not conceived until sometime in November 1960. So, if his 
 African grandfather heard words that “sent a shout across oceans,” 
inspiring  him to send his goat-herder son to America, it was not Democrat Jack 
Kennedy  he heard, or his brother Bobby, it was Republican President Dwight D.  
Eisenhower.

Obama’s speech is reminiscent of Al Gore's claim of having  invented the 
Internet, Hillary Clinton’s claim of having been named after the  first man to 
climb Mt. Everest … even though she was born five years and seven  months before 
Sir Edmund climbed the mountain, and John Kerry's imaginary trip  to Cambodia.

As one of my black friends, Eddie Huff, has said, “We need  to ask some very 
serious questions of the senator from Illinois. It’s not  enough to be black, 
it’s not enough to be articulate, and it’s not enough to  be eloquent and a 
media darling … The only question will be how deaf an ear,  or how blind an 
eye, will people turn in order to turn a frog into a  prince.”

It appears that Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, Jr. is not a  “fresh face,” 
as media sycophants like to describe him, he’s just another in a  long line of 
Democrat snake oil salesmen.

On The Campaign Trail, Obama Climbs Back On His  Anti-Gun  Horse
http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=3779
http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=3779
Friday,  April 04, 2008

With the Democratic Presidential nomination process  turning into what would 
have been an unthinkably close race only a few months  ago, we continue to see 
the political contenders pulling out all of the  rhetorical stops to 
distinguish themselves as the “candidate of choice” for  their constituency. We also 
continue to see the candidates test the limits of  credibility in the process.

Last month, we reported on the hypocrisy of  Democratic presidential hopeful 
Barack Obama. We detailed his advocacy of a  law to forbid federally licensed 
gun dealers from legally selling  constitutionally-protected products 
(firearms) in huge geographical areas,  without holding purveyors of pornography to 
the same standard. Apparently,  Obama is in the habit of saying and doing 
whatever he feels is politically  expedient at the time, and for his particular 
audience. Well, he’s at it  again, and changing horses in the middle of the 
campaign stream.

While  on the campaign trail earlier this year, Obama tried to reassure 
pro-gun  voters by telling them, “I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.” 
But  an April 3 article in Townhall.com reports that Obama in now embracing 
his  well-documented anti-gun leanings. “I am not in favor of concealed weapons,
”  he told the Pittsburgh Tribune. “I think that creates a potential 
atmosphere  where more innocent people could [get shot during] altercations.” Obama 
went  on to discuss, “…cracking down on the various loopholes that exist in 
terms of  background checks …,” and, “… reasonable, thoughtful gun control 
measure[s].  …”

It obviously comes as no surprise that Obama is anti-gun. In fact,  as with 
Hillary, we are so well aware of Obama’s hostility toward the Second  Amendment 
that in the 2004 elections, NRA’s Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF)  issued 
Obama a well-deserved “
F
” grade. What’s surprising is that he  thinks he can slowly change his 
message and we won’t notice. Incidentally, in  taking his latest position, Obama is 
opposing the law in 48 of our 50 states,  which afford law-abiding citizens a 
means to carry a concealed firearm for  personal protection.

In truth, both candidates’ records are well  documented and show, 
unquestionably, that they’re both anti-gun. (Neither  joined more than 300 of their 
congressional colleagues in signing a brief in  the Heller case in support of the 
Second Amendment.) For either to now try to  convince us otherwise is 
ridiculous.

Free Kittens

Little Suzy had a box of  very small kittens that she was trying to give 
away, so she had them out on  the street corner with a sign "FREE KITTENS" next to 
them. Suddenly a long  line of big black cars came up with a policeman on a 
motorcycle in front. The  cars all stopped and a tall man stepped out from the 
biggest car.

"Hi,  little girl, what do you have there in the box?" he asked.

"Kittens"  Little Suzy says. "They're so small, their eyes are not even open  
yet."

"What kind of kittens are they?" he asked.

"Democrats,"  says Little Suzy.

The tall man smiled, returned to his car and they  drove away.

Sensing a good photo opportunity, Sen. Obama called his  campaign manager and 
told him about the little girl with the kittens. It was  planned that they 
would return the next day, have all the media there and tell  everyone about 
these "democrat" kittens.

The next day, Little Suzy is  standing out on the corner with her box of 
kittens with the "FREE KITTENS"  sign and the big motorcade of black cars pulled 
up with all the vans and  trucks from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. Everyone had their 
cameras ready and then  Sen. Obama got out of his limo and walked up to 
Little Suzy.

"Now don't  be frightened," he said, I just want you to tell all these nice 
news people  just what kind of kittens you're giving away today."

"Yes sir," Suzy  said, "they are all REPUBLICAN kittens."

Taken by surprise, Sen. Obama  said, "But yesterday you told me they were 
DEMOCRATS."

Little Suzy  says, "Yes, I know. But, today they have their eyes open."

It Couldn't Be  Said Any Better

2 MICHELLES, 2 AMERICAS  & SHAME vs. PRIDE
By Michelle Malkin

Like Michelle Obama, I am a  "woman of color." Like Michelle Obama, I am a 
working mother of two young  children. Like Michelle Obama, I am a member of the 
13th generation of  Americans born since the founding of our great nation.

Unlike Michelle  Obama, I can't keep track of the number of times I've been 
proud - really  proud - of my country since I was born and privileged to live 
in it. At a  recent speech in Milwaukee on behalf of her husband's Democratic 
presidential  campaign, Mrs. Obama remarked, "For the first time in my adult 
lifetime, I am  really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done 
well, but  because I think people are hungry for change."

Mrs. Obama's statement  was met with warm applause from other Barack 
supporters who have also  apparently been devoid of pride in their country during 
their adult lifetimes.  Or maybe it was just a Pavlovian response to the word 
"change." What a sad,  empty, narcissistic, ungrateful, unthinking lot.

I'm just seven years  younger than Mrs. Obama. We've grown up and lived in 
the same era. And yet,  her self-absorbed attitude is completely foreign to me. 
What planet is she  living on? Since when was now the only time the American 
people have ever been  "hungry for change"?

Michelle, ma belle, Barack is not the center of  the universe. Newsflash: The 
Obamas did not invent "change" any more than  Hillary invented "leadership" 
or John McCain invented "straight talk." We were  both adults when the Berlin 
Wall fell, Michelle. That was earth-shattering  change. We've lived through two 
decades' worth of peaceful, if contentious,  election cycles under the rule 
of law, which have brought about "change" and  upheaval, both good and bad. We 
were adults through several launches of the  space shuttle, in case you were 
snoozing. And as adults, we've witnessed and  benefited from dizzyingly rapid 
advances in technology, communications,  science, and medicine pioneered by 
American entrepreneurs who yearned to  change the world and succeeded. You want 
"change"? Go ask the patients whose  lives have been improved and extended by 
American pharmaceutical companies  that have flourished under the best economic 
system in the world.

If  American ingenuity, a robust constitutional republic, and the fall of  
communism don't do it for you, hon, then how about American heroism and  
sacrifice? How about every Memorial Day? Every Veterans Day? Every  Independence Day? 
Every Medal of Honor ceremony? Has she never attended a  welcome-home 
ceremony for the troops? For me, there's the thrill of the Blue  Angels roaring over 
cloudless skies. And the somber awe felt amid the hallowed  waters that 
surround the sunken U.S.S. Arizona at the Pearl Harbor  memorial.

Every naturalization ceremony I've attended, where hundreds  of new Americans 
raised their hands to swear an oath of allegiance to this  land of liberty, 
has been a moment of pride for me. So have the awesome  displays of American 
compassion at home and around the world. When millions of  Americans rallied to 
help victims of the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia -  including members of the 
U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group that sped  from Hong Kong to 
assist survivors - my heart filled with pride. It did again  when the citizens of 
Houston ope ned their arms to Hurricane Katrina victims  and folks across the 
country rushed to their churches and offices of the  Salvation Army and Red 
Cross to volunteer.

How about American  resilience? Does that not make you proud? Only a heart of 
stone could be  unmoved by the strength, valor, and determination displayed 
in New York ,  Washington , D.C., and Shanksville, Pa. , on September 11, 2001.

I  believe it was Michael Kinsley who quipped that a gaffe is when a 
politician  tells the truth. In this case, it's what happens when an elite Democratic  
politician's wife says what a significant portion of the party's base really  
believes to be the truth: America is more a source of shame than  pride.

Michelle Obama has achieved enormous professional success,  political 
influence, and personal acclaim in America- Ivy League educated,  she's been lauded 
by Essence magazine as one of the 25 World's Most Inspiring  Women; by Vanity 
Fair as one of the ten World's Best-Dressed Women; and named  one of "The 
Harvard 100" most influential alumni. She has had an amazingly  blessed life. But 
you wouldn't know it from her campaign rhetoric and her  griping about her and 
her husband's student loans.

For years, we've  heard liberals get offended at any challenge to their 
patriotism. And so they  are again aggrieved and rising to explain away Mrs. 
Obama's  remarks.

Lady Michelle and her defenders protest too  much.

COMMANDER IN  CHIEF?
THIS ABOUT WRAPS IT UP FOR ME!
According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec.  171, "During
rendition of the national anthem when the flag is  displayed, all present
except those in uniform are expected to stand at  attention facing the flag with
the right hand over the heart." Hot on the  heels of his explanation for why
he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential  candidate Senator Barack Hussein
Obama was forced to explain why he doesn't  follow protocol when the National
Anthem is played."
"As I've said about the flag pin, I  don't want to be perceived as taking
sides."
- Barack Hussein Obama
Obama went on to say  "There are a lot of people in the world to  whom the
American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself  conveys a
war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It  should be swapped
for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like  the song 'I'd Like
to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem,  then I might salute it."
This guy wants to be our president?  Who would vote for him, pray  tell???

This man will NOT represent the  former-United States of America, if he is

because they looked at each other and they  decided that we know that, (in) the
world as it has been, it might not be  possible for us to get together and have
a child. There was something  stirring across the country because of what
happened in Selma, Alabama,  because some folks are willing to march across a
bridge. So they got  together and Barack Obama, Jr., was born. So don't tell me I
don't have a  claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I’m not coming home to
Selma,  Alabama."
Okay, so what’s wrong with that? It all sounds good … but is it?
Obama told his audience that, because some folks had the courage to  “march
across a bridge” in Selma, Alabama, his mother, a white woman from  Kansas, and
his father, a black Muslim from Africa, took heart. It gave them  the courage
to get married and have a child. The problem with that  characterization is
that Barrack Obama, Jr., was born on August 4, 1961,  while the first of three
marches across that bridge in Selma didn’t occur  until March 7, 1965, at
least five years after Obama’s parents met.
Obama went on to tell his audience that the Kennedys, Jack and Bobby, 
decided to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over so that  they
could be educated and learn all about America. His grandfather heard  that call
and sent his son, Barrack Obama, Sr., to America.
The problem with that scenario is that, having been born in August  1961, the
future senator was not conceived until sometime in November 1960.  So, if his
African grandfather heard words that “sent a shout across  oceans,”
inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to America, it was not  Democrat Jack
Kennedy he heard, or his brother Bobby, it was Republican  President Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
Obama’s speech is reminiscent of Al Gore's claim of having invented the 
Internet, Hillary Clinton’s claim of having been named after the first man  to
climb Mt. Everest … even though she was born five years and seven months  before
Sir Edmund climbed the mountain, and John Kerry's imaginary trip to  Cambodia.
As one of my black friends, Eddie Huff, has said, “We need to ask some  very
serious questions of the senator from Illinois. It’s not enough to be  black,
it’s not enough to be articulate, and it’s not enough to be eloquent  and a
media darling … The only question will be how deaf an ear, or how  blind an
eye, will people turn in order to turn a frog into a prince.”
It appears that Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, Jr. is not a “fresh  face,”
as media sycophants like to describe him, he’s just another in a long  line of
Democrat snake oil salesmen.

On The Campaign Trail, Obama Climbs  Back On His Anti-Gun Horse

With the Democratic Presidential nomination process turning into what  would
have been an unthinkably close race only a few months ago, we continue  to see
the political contenders pulling out all of the rhetorical stops to 
distinguish themselves as the “candidate of choice” for their  constituency.  We also
continue to see the candidates test the limits  of credibility in the
process.
Last month, we reported on the hypocrisy of Democratic presidential  hopeful
Barack Obama.  We detailed his advocacy of a law to forbid  federally licensed
gun dealers from legally selling  constitutionally-protected products
(firearms) in huge geographical areas,  without holding purveyors of pornography to
the same standard.   Apparently, Obama is in the habit of saying and doing
whatever he feels is  politically expedient at the time, and for his particular
audience.   Well, he’s at it again, and changing horses in the middle of the
campaign  stream.
While on the campaign trail earlier this year, Obama tried to reassure 
pro-gun voters by telling them, “I have no intention of taking away folks’  guns.”
But an April 3 article in Townhall.com reports that Obama in  now embracing
his well-documented anti-gun leanings.  “I am not in  favor of concealed
weapons,” he told the Pittsburgh Tribune.  “I think  that creates a potential
atmosphere where more innocent people could [get  shot during] altercations.” 
Obama went on to discuss, “…cracking down  on the various loopholes that exist
in terms of background checks …,” and,  “… reasonable, thoughtful gun control
measure[s]. …”
It obviously comes as no surprise that Obama is anti-gun.  In  fact, as with
Hillary, we are so well aware of Obama’s hostility toward the  Second
Amendment that in the 2004 elections, NRA’s Political Victory Fund  (NRA-PVF) issued
Obama a well-deserved “F” grade.   What’s surprising is that he thinks he can
slowly change his message and we  won’t notice.  Incidentally, in taking his
latest position, Obama is  opposing the law in 48 of our 50 states, which
afford law-abiding citizens a  means to carry a concealed firearm for personal
protection.
In truth, both candidates’ records are well documented and show, 
unquestionably, that they’re both anti-gun.  (Neither joined more than  300 of their
congressional colleagues in signing a brief in the Heller case  in support of the
Second Amendment.)  For either to now try to convince  us otherwise is
ridiculous.

Free Kittens
Little Suzy had a box of very small kittens that she was trying to give 
away, so she had them out on the street corner with a sign "FREE KITTENS"  next to
them.  Suddenly a long line of big black cars came up with a  policeman on a
motorcycle in front.  The cars all stopped and a tall  man stepped out from
the biggest car.
"Hi, little girl, what do you have there in the box?" he asked.
"Kittens" Little Suzy says. "They're so small, their eyes are not even  open
yet."
"What kind of kittens are they?" he asked.
"Democrats," says Little Suzy.
The tall man smiled, returned to his car and they drove away.
Sensing a good photo opportunity, Sen. Obama called his campaign  manager and
told him about the little girl with the kittens.  It was  planned that they
would return the next day, have all the media there and  tell everyone about
these "democrat" kittens.
The next day, Little Suzy is standing out on the corner with her box of 
kittens with the "FREE KITTENS" sign and the big motorcade of black cars  pulled
up with all the vans and trucks from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN.   Everyone had
their cameras ready and then Sen. Obama got out of his limo and  walked up to
Little Suzy.
"Now don't be frightened," he said, I just want you to tell all these  nice
news people just what kind of kittens you're giving away today."
"Yes sir," Suzy said, "they are all REPUBLICAN kittens."
Taken by surprise, Sen. Obama said, "But yesterday you told me they  were
DEMOCRATS."
Little Suzy says, "Yes, I know. But, today they have their eyes  open."

It Couldn't Be Said Any  Better
2 MICHELLES, 2 AMERICAS   &  SHAME vs. PRIDE
By Michelle Malkin
Like Michelle Obama, I am a "woman of color." Like Michelle Obama, I am  a
working mother of two young children. Like Michelle Obama, I am a member  of the
13th generation of Americans born since the founding of our great  nation.
Unlike Michelle Obama, I can't keep track of the number of times I've  been
proud - really proud - of my country since I was born and privileged to  live
in it.  At a recent speech in Milwaukee on behalf of her husband's  Democratic
presidential campaign, Mrs. Obama remarked, "For the first time  in my adult
lifetime, I am really proud of my country, and not just because  Barack has done
well, but because I think people are hungry for change." 
Mrs. Obama's statement was met with warm applause from other Barack 
supporters who have also apparently been devoid of pride in their country  during
their adult lifetimes. Or maybe it was just a Pavlovian response to  the word
"change." What a sad, empty, narcissistic, ungrateful, unthinking  lot.
I'm just seven years younger than Mrs. Obama. We've grown up and lived  in
the same era. And yet, her self-absorbed attitude is completely foreign  to me.
What planet is she living on? Since when was now the only time the  American
people have ever been "hungry for change"?
Michelle, ma belle, Barack is not the center of the universe.  Newsflash: The
Obamas did not invent "change" any more than Hillary invented  "leadership"
or John McCain invented "straight talk." We were both adults  when the Berlin
Wall fell, Michelle. That was earth-shattering change. We've  lived through two
decades' worth of peaceful, if contentious, election  cycles under the rule
of law, which have brought about "change" and  upheaval, both good and bad. We
were adults through several launches of the  space shuttle, in case you were
snoozing. And as adults, we've witnessed and  benefited from dizzyingly rapid
advances in technology, communications,  science, and medicine pioneered by
American entrepreneurs who yearned to  change the world and succeeded. You want
"change"? Go ask the patients whose  lives have been improved and extended by
American pharmaceutical companies  that have flourished under the best economic
system in the world.
If American ingenuity, a robust constitutional republic, and the fall  of
communism don't do it for you, hon, then how about American heroism and 
sacrifice? How about every Memorial Day? Every Veterans Day? Every  Independence Day?
Every Medal of Honor ceremony? Has she never attended a  welcome-home ceremony
for the troops? For me, there's the thrill of the Blue  Angels roaring over
cloudless skies. And the somber awe felt amid the  hallowed waters that
surround the sunken U.S.S. Arizona at the Pearl Harbor  memorial.
Every naturalization ceremony I've attended, where hundreds of new  Americans
raised their hands to swear an oath of allegiance to this land of  liberty,
has been a moment of pride for me. So have the awesome displays of  American
compassion at home and around the world. When millions of Americans  rallied to
help victims of the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia - including  members of the
U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group that sped from  Hong Kong to
assist survivors - my heart filled with pride. It did again  when the citizens of
Houston ope ned their arms to Hurricane Katrina victims  and folks across the
country rushed to their churches and offices of the  Salvation Army and Red
Cross to volunteer.
How about American resilience? Does that not make you proud? Only a  heart of
stone could be unmoved by the strength, valor, and determination  displayed
in New York , Washington , D.C., and Shanksville, Pa. , on  September 11, 2001.
I believe it was Michael Kinsley who quipped that a gaffe is when a 
politician tells the truth. In this case, it's what happens when an elite  Democratic
politician's wife says what a significant portion of the party's  base really
believes to be the truth: America is more a source of shame than  pride.
Michelle Obama has achieved enormous professional success, political 
influence, and personal acclaim in America - Ivy League educated, she's  been lauded
by Essence magazine as one of the 25 World's Most Inspiring  Women; by Vanity
Fair as one of the ten World's Best-Dressed Women; and  named one of "The
Harvard 100" most influential alumni. She has had an  amazingly blessed life.  But
you wouldn't know it from her campaign  rhetoric and her griping about her
and her husband's student loans.
For years, we've heard liberals get offended at any challenge to their 
patriotism. And so they are again aggrieved and rising to explain away Mrs. 
Obama's remarks.
Lady Michelle and her defenders protest too  much.

From: Fjk5392
COMMANDER IN CHIEF?
THIS ABOUT WRAPS IT UP FOR ME!
According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171,
"During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart." Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Hussein Obama was forced to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played."
"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides."
- Barack Hussein Obama
Obama went on to say "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it."
This guy wants to be our president? Who would vote for him, pray tell???

To those of you who find fault with this, and I know of a couple of people who will ... WAKE UP!!! DAMN IT, WAKE UP!!!

This man will NOT represent the former-United States of America, if he is elected ... God forbid.
This man is a terror ... an abomination ... a threat to what's left ofour Republic.
If you are even considering a vote for this man, please wake up and check the FACTS about him.

Directirect and damning quotes from his own books
Below are a few lines from Obama's books “ his words:
From
Dreams of My Father
:
I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.
From
Dreams of My Father
:
I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.
From
Dreams of My Father
:
There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.
From
Dreams of My Father
:
It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.
From
Dreams of My Father
:
I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.

I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

Paul R. Hollrah, March 16, 2007
Tuning in to C-Span recently, I found myself listening to a speech by Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, Jr. He was standing in the pulpit of a black church in Selma, Alabama, and as I studied the body language of the dozen or so black ministers standing behind the senator, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the little head-bobbing dolls that people used to place in the rear windows of their 1957 Chevrolets. If their reactions are any indication, the new Schlickmeister of the Democrat Party is actually a pretty accomplished public speaker.
However, as he spoke, I found my bull_ _ _ _ alarm going off, repeatedly. But I couldn’t quite figure out why until I actually read excerpts of his speech several days later. Here’s part of what he said:
"... something happened back here in Selma, Alabama. Something happened in Birmingham that sent out what Bobby Kennedy called, “ripples of hope all around the world.” Something happened when a bunch of women decided they were going to walk instead of ride the bus after a long day of doing somebody else's laundry, looking after somebody else's children.
“When (black) men who had PhD’s decided ‘that's enough’ and ‘we’re going to stand up for our dignity,’ that sent a shout across oceans so that my grandfather began to imagine something different for his son. His son, who grew up herding goats in a small village in Africa could suddenly set his sights a little higher and believe that maybe a black man in this world had a chance.
“… So the Kennedy’s decided we're going to do an air lift. We're going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is.
“This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to this country. He met this woman whose great great-great-great-grandfather had owned slaves; but she had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided that we know that, (in) the world as it has been, it might not be possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama, Jr., was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Alabama."
Okay, so what’s wrong with that? It all sounds good … but is it?
Obama told his audience that, because some folks had the courage to “march across a bridge” in Selma, Alabama, his mother, a white woman from Kansas, and his father, a black Muslim from Africa, took heart. It gave them the courage to get married and have a child. The problem with that characterization is that Barrack Obama, Jr., was born on August 4, 1961, while the first of three marches across that bridge in Selma didn’t occur until March 7, 1965, at least five years after Obama’s parents met.

So, if his African grandfather heard words that “sent a shout across oceans,” inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to America, it was not Democrat Jack Kennedy he heard, or his brother Bobby, it was Republican President Dwight D.

Everest … even though she was born five years and seven months before Sir Edmund climbed the mountain, and John Kerry's imaginary trip to Cambodia.
As one of my black friends, Eddie Huff, has said, “We need to ask some very serious questions of the senator from Illinois. It’s not enough to be black, it’s not enough to be articulate, and it’s not enough to be eloquent and a media darling … The only question will be how deaf an ear, or how blind an eye, will people turn in order to turn a frog into a prince.”

At a recent speech in Milwaukee on behalf of her husband's Democratic presidential campaign, Mrs. Obama remarked, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."
Mrs. Obama's statement was met with warm applause from other Barack supporters who have also apparently been devoid of pride in their country during their adult lifetimes. Or maybe it was just a Pavlovian response to the word "change." What a sad, empty, narcissistic, ungrateful, unthinking lot.
I'm just seven years younger than Mrs. Obama. We've grown up and lived in the same era. And yet, her self-absorbed attitude is completely foreign to me. What planet is she living on? Since when was now the only time the American people have ever been "hungry for change"?
Michelle, ma belle, Barack is not the center of the universe. Newsflash: The Obamas did not invent "change" any more than Hillary invented "leadership" or John McCain invented "straight talk." We were both adults when the Berlin Wall fell, Michelle. That was earth-shattering change. We've lived through two decades' worth of peaceful, if contentious, election cycles under the rule of law, which have brought about "change" and upheaval, both good and bad. We were adults through several launches of the space shuttle, in case you were snoozing. And as adults, we've witnessed and benefited from dizzyingly rapid advances in technology, communications, science, and medicine pioneered by American entrepreneurs who yearned to change the world and succeeded. You want "change"? Go ask the patients whose lives have been improved and extended by American pharmaceutical companies that have flourished under the best economic system in the world.
If American ingenuity, a robust constitutional republic, and the fall of communism don't do it for you, hon, then how about American heroism and sacrifice? How about every Memorial Day? Every Veterans Day? Every Independence Day? Every Medal of Honor ceremony? Has she never attended a welcome-home ceremony for the troops? For me, there's the thrill of the Blue Angels roaring over cloudless skies. And the somber awe felt amid the hallowed waters that surround the sunken U.S.S. Arizona at the Pearl Harbor memorial.
Every naturalization ceremony I've attended, where hundreds of new Americans raised their hands to swear an oath of allegiance to this land of liberty, has been a moment of pride for me. So have the awesome displays of American compassion at home and around the world. When millions of Americans rallied to help victims of the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia - including members of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group that sped from Hong Kong to assist survivors - my heart filled with pride. It did again when the citizens of Houston ope ned their arms to Hurricane Katrina victims and folks across the country rushed to their churches and offices of the Salvation Army and Red Cross to volunteer.
How about American resilience? Does that not make you proud? Only a heart of stone could be unmoved by the strength, valor, and determination displayed in New York , Washington , D.C., and Shanksville, Pa. , on September 11, 2001.
I believe it was Michael Kinsley who quipped that a gaffe is when a politician tells the truth. In this case, it's what happens when an elite Democratic politician's wife says what a significant portion of the party's base really believes to be the truth: America is more a source of shame than pride.
Michelle Obama has achieved enormous professional success, political influence, and personal acclaim in America- Ivy League educated, she's been lauded by Essence magazine as one of the 25 World's Most Inspiring Women; by Vanity Fair as one of the ten World's Best-Dressed Women; and named one of "The Harvard 100" most influential alumni. She has had an amazingly blessed life. But you wouldn't know it from her campaign rhetoric and her griping about her and her husband's student loans.
For years, we've heard liberals get offended at any challenge to their patriotism. And so they are again aggrieved and rising to explain away Mrs. Obama's remarks.
Lady Michelle and her defenders protest too much.
