This is something all Americans need to read. putting it on in 2 parts.
From Sunday''s Televised ''Meet the Press''

Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag. General Bill Ginn'' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain why he doesn''t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The General stated to the Senator that according to the United States Code,Title 36,Chapter10, 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, at least, ''Stand and Face It''. Senator Obama stated, ''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. 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.

Some people always have to make these color statements. Ok so our president doesn''t look like to quote Barrack "those guy''s you see on the dollar bills" Last time I check he looked a little dark but I was under the impression he was half white?

Until Barrack makes it a law that we have to support our new President of the United States and as long as I live in the land of the free I don''t have to support anyone until leagally required to do so. But don''t worry WeDAPeople1 I have a good feeling I''ll be required to support you in the very near future!

Yes, we made HISTORY and are no longer history but part of it!! Although race is a big factor it''s not the only factory. We need to unite as a country and stop believing that because a person is of color that makes them a minority.. This was meant to happen and it would not have happen without God''s grace........

Obama was pissed that Canada paid such high taxes so he''s going to get the biggest government in history started and tax the ever living he11 out of us and see if we can become the highest taxes paying people in the world and that would be assuming we all have any income to pay taxes on.

Denir254 said: Obama will be running our nation, we as the USA need to all rally behind him, no matter our color, gender, or ethnicity. God Bless both Obama and McCain and God Bless America.

Until Obama makes it a law that we have to get behind him we don''t have to rally behind nobody and it is because God blessed America that we have the right to choose to do that if we want to or not. If we lived in China we wouldn''t have choices like that but America is truly blessed. 50% of us Americans did not want Obama and we count too believe it or not?

Think your vote really counts, wake up america. HOW can electorial votes be given to Obama in states like Claifornia with ONLY 15% of the voters reporting yet Obama has the 55 electorial votes. Ohio, narrow margin of 1% with still 27% to report YET Obama is awarded those 20 electorial votes. DO THE MATH OUR VOTES DIDN"T MATTER
