I get these e-mails about Obama from a person that obviously has a problem with the guy. This one claims to come right out of the Washington Post and seemed so over the top that I thought I would share.

Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides, Obama said. '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."We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarmAmerica to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disrespects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and Ihave attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine". Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path of hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America

Impressive. I like the subtlety in that one: "My wife and I have attended several flag burnings."

Actually, now that I think of it, I have attended a couple of flag burnings. As an Obama supporter, I think I'm totally going to troll with that on the political sites.

Here I thought for sure Obama was really pushing for making the coke song our new national anthem.

Barbara, we all know that's not true. You have more than half a brain, after all.

but I really really like that song, especially the part about apple trees and honeybees.

And anyhow it's just barely more than half, and hardly any of the right side at all.
