THE FOLLOWING IS A NARRATIVE TAKEN FROM A 2008 SUNDAY MORNING TELEVISED " MEET THE PRESS " FROM SUNDAY 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(RET), ASKED OBMA 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 ID DISPLAYED,QLL 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 ABAMA REPLIED: " AS I'VE SAID ABOUT THE FLAG PIN, I DON'T WANT TO BE PERCIEVED 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 BOMS BURSTING IN AIR,AND ALL THAT SORT OF THING," (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???) OBAM 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 AN LOVE.IT'S MY INTENTION, IF ELECTED, TO DISARM AMERICA TO THE LEVEL OF ACCEPTANCE TO OUR MIDDLE EAST BRETHEN. IF WE AS A NATION OF WARRING PEOPLE, CONDUCT OURSELF LIKE THE NATIONS OF ISLAM, WHERE PEACE PREVAILS---PERHAPS A STATE OR PERIOD OF MUTUAL ACCORD COUL EXIST BETWEEN OUR GOVERMENTS. WHEN I BECOME PRESIDENT, IWILL 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 NATION OF ISLAM AN UNFAIR INJUSTIVE,WHICH IS WHY MY WIFE DISRESPECTS THE FLAG, AND SHE AND I HAVE ATTENDED SEVERAL FLAG BURNING CEREMONIES IN THE PAST. " OF COUSE NOW, I HAVE FOUND MYSELF ABOUT TO BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIDED STATES AND I HAVE PUT MY HATTRES 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'SFIRST BLACK FAMILY. INDEED CHANGE IS ABOUT TO AVERWHELM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WHAAAAAT,IS THAT? YES YOU READ IT RIGHT. i,for one ,am speechless!!! FORWARDED AS RECIEVED, BUT WITHOUT COMMENT, PLEASE DO THE SAME.
