Yes, he told us in advance what he planned to do.
Few were listening.
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 Ginn, 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 disarmAmerica 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
......"
|
"When I become President, I will seek a pact of
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,which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag, and she and I have attended several flag burning
ceremonies in the past."
"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the
United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this
Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's
First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is
about to overwhelm the United States
of America."
WHAAAAT, is that???
Yes, you read it right.
I, for one, am speechless!!!

The email about disrespecting the US flag that attributed absurd dialogue to President Obama is FiCTiON. You won't find it in the transcripts from any Meet The Press show. it was written by John Semmens in his Arizona Conservative Blog which he labels "semi-news, a satirical review of the events shaping our nation and the world" Semmens made up all the dialogue. And, you fell for it
The transcripts are available for Meet the Press on that date, but Barack Obama was not there. The guests were Joe Biden and Tom Friedman, and the word Flag never appeared that day. You can also find a link to the transcript for the December 2008 Meet the Press when Barack Obama was a guest, but the word Flag was again not mentioned.

Um… yes, our pretender-in-chief prefers the “fig leaf” position when national honors are appropriate.
