Obama And The “Country I Love”
The Obama campaign is about to go up with its first television ad of the general election, a 60-second spot titled, “Country I Love” which begins airing in 18 states tomorrow.
The ad is biographical in part but also heavy on the patriotism. “I was raised by a single mom and my grandparents,” Obama says in the ad. “We didn’t have much money, but they taught me values straight from the Kansas heartland where they grew up. Accountability and self-reliance. Love of country. Working hard without making excuses. Treating your neighbor as you’d like to be treated. It’s what guided me as I worked my way up – taking jobs and loans to make it through college.”
The ad ends with this tagline: “I approved this message because I’ll never forget those values, and if I have the honor of taking the oath of office as President, it will be with a deep and abiding faith in the country I love.”
The ad will run in Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Virginia. Watch it below:

He loves this country so much he''s kept himself separate all his adult life from Americans, preferring to associate with foreigners, including terrorist supporters like Khalidi!
Pshaw! Lying idiot!

One good thing about being stupid and ignorant sarge is that they don''t normally vote, takes away their beer drinking time in the pool hall.
His Father was a Muslim.
His Grandfather was a Muslim.
His half Brother is an active
Radical Muslim. If you think Obama has a list of questionable ties, you should see his Brother''''s list.

First of all who cares if it is a Muslim name. Being Muslim isn''t a crime. Just like Kennedy being catholic wasn''t a crime. Everything else you said is a lie.
Obama did swear on the bible when he got sworn into the senate also.
No one believes the internet smear campaign. You people are pathetic

These are lies, and if you don''t know it, you''ve been had. If you do know it, then you know what you are.

No, that is not a correct quote.
She said "REALLY proud". And she later explained that she was talking about the political process, not the whole country.
I suppose you never let any other public figure correct a mis-statement. You probably love Bush and McCain who each have made many more mis-statements.
We also knew who had a slow car, they talked about how fast it was but it only went slow.
If Obama really loved the US he would not have to say it, it would show.
He acts like he hates the US and all it stands for.

Where does all this nonsense come from? No one who knows Obama thinks this of him.
You have Obama confused with Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota.
Ellison is a Muslim and took the oath of office on a Koran that had belonged to Thomas Jefferson.
There are 2 points to consider here:!) Obama is a Christian who was sworn in on the Bible, and 2) Muslim-Americans are also patriots and your insinuation otherwise is what''s un-American.
