The following is
a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised "Meet
The Press ' .
From Sunday ' s
07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press"
THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American
Flag.
General Bill Gann
' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn ' t follow
protocol when the National Anthem is played.
The General
stated to Obama that 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. Or, at the very least,
"Stand and Face It".
NOW GET THIS !!
'Senator Obama
replied:
"As I ' ve
said about the flag pin, I don ' t want to be perceived as taking
sides". "There are a lot of people in the world to whom
the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The
anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs
bursting in air and all that sort of thing."
(ARE YOU READY
FOR THIS???)
Obama continued:
"The National Anthem 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. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National
Anthem as well as ' redesign ' our Flag to better offer our enemies
hope and love. It ' s
my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of
acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of
warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where
peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord
could exist between our governments ......"

Look I do not like or respect the man but check your "retold" stories before blasting them here as integrity in reporting must be maintained.
See: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2008/oct/25/chain-email/the-coke-theme-song-and-more-ridiculous-allegation/
There are many other fact checker sites which debunk this as well.
Commenting on this is like commenting on religion or politics. Opinion is still a form of free speech.
I put what is 'known in wikipedia about the American Flag'. Isn't that what the 'Meet the Press' asked him about...the American flag.
I remember learning Betsy Ross made a flag, but there are groups that say the true Republic flag has stripes down and looks nothing like the CORPORATION flag of today.
Which flag did Obama watch get burned? The CORPORATE flag, or the true Republic flag burned from 1787? Is this what the true Republic flag looked like?

wikipedia:
"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States of America. The lyrics come from "Defence of Fort McHenry",[1] a poem written in 1814 by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet, Francis Scott Key, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy ships in Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812.
Hmm, written by a lawyer as he watched a fort being bombed (that I assume still had living souldiers nearby were killed).
Wikipedia states:
Betsy Ross (January 1, 1752 – January 30, 1836) is widely credited with making the first American flag.[1][2] There is, however, no credible historical evidence that the story is true.
[Note: Wikipedia has no idea who made the flag, only that she was given unproven credit for the first one.]
Wikipedia - about the "American flag" - notice it's under Symbolism - isn't Illuminati/cabal issues about symbols?:
The modern meaning of the flag was forged in December 1860 when Major Robert Anderson, acting without orders, moved the US garrison from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter, in Charleston Harbor, in defiance of the power of the new Confederate States of America. Adam Goodheart argues this was the opening move of the Civil War, and the flag was used throughout the North to symbolize American nationalism and rejection of secessionism.
Before that day, the flag had served mostly as a military ensign or a convenient marking of American territory, flown from forts, embassies, and ships, and displayed on special occasions like the Fourth of July. But in the weeks after Major Anderson's surprising stand, it became something different. Suddenly the Stars and Stripes flew—as it does today, and especially as it did after the September 11 attacks in 2001—from houses, from storefronts, from churches; above the village greens and college quads. For the first time American flags were mass-produced rather than individually stitched and even so, manufacturers could not keep up with demand. As the long winter of 1861 turned into spring, that old flag meant something new. The abstraction of the Union cause was transfigured into a physical thing: strips of cloth that millions of people would fight for, and many thousands die for.[3
[Wikipedia stated this - strips of cloth]
Those strips of cloth are more important than anything for some people
The modern meaning of the flag occurred in 1860, if the United States of America, the independent states, were forged in 1787. They weren't told they had to stand and pledge to a flag back when they were 'free and independent'.
I, in living color, don't pledge my life to any symbols or objects, including but not limited to a table, a pencil, a cup, a rock, a bible, a cross.. My life was given to live as I will, but someone so far has interfered and the only way I can live is to work for pieces of paper and that's against the original plan for my life experience here. So we (the whole of us) must be here to correct this wrong that was created over time. We start by choosing to live indiscriminately and with unconditional love, without harming or crossing into the personal space another even a child over our beliefs or rituals.
The people will be divided, it's a given.
There are cloned and heavily programmed people. Clones don't know they are cloned, and programmed people don't know they are programmed. Those that have unconditional love will not find peace while mixed among them.
The separation has to occur.
Forget all the pseudo-fact finders or s0-called fact checkers, aka the Left Wing indoctrination and propaganda "ministries"! There is a youtube video showing the fraudulent usurper-in-chief standing without his right hand on his heart while the National Anthem is being played. Nearby are Bill Richardson and Hillary Clinton with their hands on their hearts as per Federal STATUTE. Every elementary student in the US knows the protocol, but the POTUS doesn't???? Maybe because he is not an American? DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND DO YOUR OWN THINKING...and that means you don't let another phoney research group to do it for you!!!
The use of force, whether economic, physical, emotional, or other, to compel someone to perform a certain act is by very definition enslavement of that persons free will. "national Pride" is a way of forcing everyone to honor the corporation flag and align your energies with the war mongering that occurs in the name of the "flag". The flag is nothing more than a very well disguised war flag..... Why do you think we are ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS in some conflict, battle, or war of some nature some where on the planet??? Down with the war flag of the corporation, up with the peace flag of the republic.
Truly, it is difficult enough to get to the truth without posting this kind of thing. Anyone can determine this is drivel with 2 minutes of research on the web. Would it not make more sense to post easily verifiable facts that expose the pervasive rot in our system? As they used to say on the Dragnet TV series - "Just the facts, mam..."
Obama can order YOUR extra-judicial assassination and the biggest bone to pick of the day is that he did not stand and face the flag during the national anthem?
Seriously?
Was it all just lies, or did O find out he was powerless to stop the bloodshed?
All Pentagon BS aside, over 75,000 American lives have been lost in the war in Iraq... More than in Vietnam.
Some 1.5 million Iraqis killed, or dead from causes directly related to the conflict.
Did we hate Iraqi citizens that much? I thought it was only Saddam.. just one guy.
But what about the 'change' O was supposed to bring? The 'pacts for peace' he made in the ME turned out to be in the nature of funding insurrection and insurgency...Spilling yet more Middle Eastern blood. Destabilizing existing regimes and creating yet more havok... Who paid the price? - Middle Eastern citizens mostly, while American citizens at home were being robbed blind and cheated out of their homes and their wealth.. The bombings never stopped. Rather they were accelerated. We now kill indiscriminately using drones, manned by video game players from the US.
How cool is THAT!
So cool they decided to deploy them stateside...
The Obama administration is a travesty. The man couldn't, or simply wouldn't do the job he was elected to do. Which would make him a traitor.
He's not the only criminal psycho who's landed in that office.
Each of the last 4 have been as bad as Nixon, and since Kennedy, they've all been bad.
GOD help US
