[...] Remember when Obama wouldn’t put his hand over his heart for the National Anthem and all that hub-bub? Well turns out he has no problem doing it for the anthem of Ghana. [...]

I’m sort of with you here. He has learned to avoid the crotch salute…

I disagree with almost everything he does and says… But just from the caption, I suspect he was listening to the American national anthem. I’m sure there were US flags there, too. He is politically astute enough to have learned his lesson from that 2007 campaign incident.

I’m not one to give BO much leeway, but it isn’t beyond belief that this pic could be misconstrued.

Right, but where’s his change of heart from then? Why not salute the flag then, but do now?

You morons (and I mean that nicely) are missing the point. The man was too stupid to put his hand over his heart for the american flag/anthem. So Rhalm told him that he always should put his hand over his heart when he hears the anthem. So, when he heard the (ghiana) anthem, he did so. Monumental stupidity meets the world. Hey you 52%–aren’t you so PROUD?

The America that most of us love is loathsome to the big-eared freak. It doesn’t matter to me if he is really a citizen or not (I really don’t know), his vile hatred for American ideals makes him unfit to serve.

What is this “tier” stuff about?

csdeven on July 16, 2009 at 10:14 AM

It is similar to a govmit-type takeover, so that all commenters are equal but some are more equal than the rest of us.

Certain rules apply, as discussed at length on the tier thread:
1) If you sign your own name after your comment, particularly if your user name is actually your real name, you are a permanent resident of the lowest tiers.
2) Commenters on prime-numbered tiers are far better than other commenters, because we thought of it first.
3) All other rules must have equal logic behind them to justify their existence or I get to change them at random.

I’m not sure what the protocol is for an American President during another nation’s national anthem

His hand is over his heart for Ghana’s national anthem, and over his cojones for America’s anthem.

His heart is in Africa, and what is he doing to America?

At least Obama can learn and evolve, unlike that stubborn Bush.

Of course, now that HE is the leader of this great nation, he can show ‘respect’.

This is the same as Michelle O’s ‘recently proud’…

I wonder if while in Ghana, our “worldly” president gave a prince there $3000 to help with expenses in getting access to his several million dollar estate, for which he will be compensated 30,000 dollars for his trouble.

It must be true, I got several e-mails from different sources about it.

How can anybody not know Obama was a Communist when his HQ had a Che Guevara plastered on the wall? Americans must have known they were electing a liberal socialist Communist.

You got’em.

And this clown is a citizen of what exactly what country?

BTW the soldier who was to be sent to the “good” Afghan war had his deployment cancelled after he filed a suit alleging the The One was not born in the US and his orders were therefore not legal. No reason given for the cancellation.

At least I heard that. Don’t know if it is true.

I have been playing this video for the last year.. I love to see the faces of the younger generation when I show and tell them about this Speech.
The Eyes have begun to open up, but it is not enough-we must continue to open all eyes and hearts so that America can Chart her course back to Liberty and Freedom.
God Bless
