That is Obama's "change" . He will do and say anything to get the nomination and so far he has proven that many Americans aren't watching any real news and facts and will chose him.

Orrr it could be that American's aren't all stupid and swallow everything they see on the news.

A flag pin? LOL. I can't believe people are making a big deal over a little tacky flag pin!

If not, how it is different?
Why can't this guy stand up to what he believes instead of caving in?
How is he ever going to lead a country, when he does crap like this?
At least Hillary does not cave in when she believes in something.
If he actually caved in, I'm not surprised. It's not easy dealing with obsessed superficial people. Take this guy for example:

Run in #1:
Outside the shop, on the way in
Man: "Senator, can I have a quick picture with you?"
(Obama refuses to take a picture and walks away)
Man: "It will take you two seconds. Don't cram me, I'm not doing anything to anybody. Jesus."

Run in #2:
After the shop
Man: "Senator, can I get a picture with you?"
Obama: "You are wearing me out brother."
Man: "I got one with Hillary Clinton, and I got one with McCain. Come on Senator, that's not right."

Run in #3:
In the street
Man: "Senator, can I please, a quick one?"
Obama: "No, you know what, no."
Man: "Can I just say something to you real fast?"
Obama: "Yea, you can."
Man: "I had one with Hillary Clinton and I had one with Senator McCain."
Obama: "I am sure you do. Because when I was trying to talk to some kids – and, I know, look...
Man: "No, my wife is a school teacher and she was there. She had to go back and that wasn't right. What, won't you just take a picture with me? I'm not asking you for a autograph; it's for my family.
Obama: "Yeah, well, whatever. Just take it. I won't be smiling. Because you're wearing me out. No no, you've been really rude about it. Just take a shot."

Where is this real news we are supposed to be watching?

I have recently had an incident which draws a fairly sharp contrast to Obama and the Rev. Wright.
For over a year I have walked with a neighbor. We were never that good a friends but it is easier to continue walking if you have someone to walk with. Recently politics had become a subject of discussion on our walks and I was rather surprised when she came out with some very racist comments. The first time I just laughed heartily and said "You don't really believe that do you?" After that I tried to be more overt by saying she shouldn't say things like that. All she would respond was "You're not going to want to continue walking with me, are you?" Well, guess what? As of 3 weeks ago I walk alone.
My question is where is the evidence that Obama ever rebuked Rev, Wright for his overt racist remarks. If I as an individual person can take a stand, why can't someone who is running for the highest office in the land?

Perhaps the various candidates stances on issues???

Such as Obama opposing the 2nd Amendment(as well as Hillary and McCain)

I don't think voters really care if he wears a pin or not. Just as long as he doesn't start wearing a yellow pantsuit.
