Obama said he does not ware a flag pin because it was "false patriotism"
that he did not need to do that, yesterday there it is.
Everyone said Hillary was pandering votes when she said a holiday on gas tax
so is this the same thing???
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.

Flag pins? At first I thought this post must have been lost in cyberspace for a few months... but then I realized you're simply angling for a job. Nice try, but I hear they won't have a job opening for moderator for the upcoming McCain-Obama debate.

So he DOES pander....well of course he does,he is a politician and no different than almost every other of the breed.

Funny thing is people somehow believe Obama is 'different' and will change things...

People are so gullible.

Yes he has,and he panders to his audience or supporters.

When needed he will be the anti-establishment guy and all the 'useful idiots' will adore him and throw their support behind him.

And then once he has their support he will go after the next group,even if it means doing something the first group doesn't like....afterall what choice do they have now?

I think the point is that people are unsure about Obama's patriotism because of his association with Rev. Wright. Everyone is aware of McCain history and his past and present family commitment to the defense of this country.

He's said since day 1 that he wears one sometimes and doesn't other times, this is not news.

And I suppose if Wright were wearing a flag pin, then Obama's patriotism wouldn't be questioned?
