Enough Obama Rumors

[Hope And Change]

1) Does Obama wear a flag pin on his lapel?

Yes, but not always. Like many presidential candidates, sometimes he wears a flag pin, sometimes he wears a breast cancer awareness pin, sometimes he wears his U.S. Senate membership pin and other times he wears no pin at all. (Rutenberg, Jim and Zeleny, Jeff. “The Politics of the Lapel, When It Comes to Obama,” http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/15/us/politics/15flag.html?_r=1&oref=slogin">The New York Times, 5/15/08)

2) Is Obama a Christian?

Yes. He is a committed Christian. In 1985, he began working as a community organizer with a Christian church-based group seeking to improve the living conditions in poor Chicago neighborhoods. (Pulliam, Sarah and Olsen, Ted. “Q&A: Barack Obama,” http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2008/januaryweb-only/104-32.0.html?start=1">Christianity Today, 1/23/08)

3) Was Obama sworn in on a Bible?

Yes. Barack Obama took the oath of office on his personal family Bible. (It was U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison from Minnesota who was sworn in on the Quran.) (Fiore, Faye. “He’s the Hill’s King for a Day, but Senate Has Other Plans,” http://articles.latimes.com/2005/jan/05/nation/na-obama5">Los Angeles Times, 1/5/05)

4) Was Obama born in America?

Yes. Barack Obama’s birth certificate shows he was born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, at 7:24 p.m. (Malcolm, Andrew. “Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate Revealed Here,” http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/06/obama-birth.html">LAtimes.com, 6/16/08)

5) Does Obama place his hand over his heart when he says the pledge of allegiance?

Yes. Barack Obama always places his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance. (Dobbs, Michael. “Obama Nabbed by the Patriot Police,” http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2007/11/obama_nabbed_by_the_patriotic.html">WashingtonPost.com, 11/2/07)

6. Gotta keep reinforcing folks

The sad truth is that n countries where people have abandoned critical thought for emotional responses- propaganda works- and works well.

7. Just saw a new ad with a new accusation.

It was less than an hour ago, but it was so impressive that I don't remember what it was. But the visuals and the background music were really good. ;)

I think it had a picture of the German speech and them chanting his name and then said he was not ready to lead or something to that extent. There are idiots out there will eat these ads up. Me, I dislike mccain enough that my mind shuts down as soon as I see it is his ad. :arr:
