I agree. If he had said nothing and just sung "God Bless America", they would be complaining that he didn't sing it right.

nah, they'd be saying, "he has no right to sing that song!!" "that song is reserved for natural born citizens only!!!"

I agree because like I said on the redundant thread, Obama was fine, just had an issue with the audience.

Yes, you must have missed it. It was disgusting.

Tucson is in Indian territory, although I thought he said he is from Mexico on both sides about 100 years ago. Didn't catch if there is any Native American Indian there. Probably so. Otherwise, it is a bit odd.

On another note, did listen to the speech again on C-Span. It's better the second time around. Very eloquent. Words chosen very carefully. I'm going to try to find a transcript.
