Obama Explains National Anthem
Stance
Hot on the heels of his
explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate
Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain
why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171,During
rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all
present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the
flag with the right hand over the heart.
'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking
sides,' Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the
American flag is a symbol of oppression.
And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting
in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less
bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were
our anthem, then I might salute it.'
WHAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!

From Dreams of My
Father :
'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of
grievance and animosity against my mothers race.'
From Dreams of
My Father: 'There
was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe.
And white.'
From Dreams of
My Father: ;
'It remained necessary to prove which side you
were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name
names.'
From Dreams of
My Father: 'I
never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It
was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all
the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm,
DuBois and Mandela.'
From Audacity of Hope:
'I
will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly
direction.'
