No. It will be over a $5 trillion dollar hit to tax payers with Freddy Mac and Sally Mae ALONE. :roll: :roll: :shock: :shock:

 

This is an email my friend sent me:

Subject: Obama explains National Anthem



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!!!!!!!!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president. I, for once, am speechless.

He better take sides..........if he is not on the side of AMERICA he MUST NOT EVEN BE CONSIDERED for the office he is seeking. We do not need a man in office that will not salute the flag. The world knows how to sing, what they need to know is that the USA will defend what that flag stands for.

Pass It On Before It's To Late.
Let's Teach All of America About This Idiot.

 

That e-mail is a fake. This guy wrote a satire and people decided to run with it.

 

Check Snopes, It's FALSE...

I never remember to check snopes! ops:

 

I want everyone to make an informed decision when voting and crap like this makes it darn near impossible. Emails like this and the Tax email posted in another thread are fabricated to make someone look bad. And then the unwashed masses believe them and get angry when proven wrong or simply refuse to believe it.

carnies and rubes, my friend. carnies and rubes

 

after this is all said and done. somebody or some people are going to owe an OBAMAPOLOGY

 

The only way that would happen is if Obama won. Since there isn't a chance in hell of that happening I'm not worried. :wink:

 

Snopes.com has a liberal political agenda.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Perhaps you want to discover the origin of an urban legend or verify that the photo of a 45-pound cat someone emailed you isn't a doctored photo. Maybe you want to know if Proctor & Gamble's logo is really satanic. Snopes.com (hereafter “snopes") is good for verifying unimportant stuff like that, but don't count on them being “fair and balanced" when it comes to anything political or religious.

Although Snopes hasn't any political philosophy explicitly stated on the website, snopes' selectivity and analysis of political emails oozes with partisanship. Religious emails don't fare much better and typically get a liberal hatchet job. In a nutshell, although snopes has to reluctantly admit that most of the conservative political and religious emails are “true" as far as snopes can determine, there is always a :arrow: caveat, :arrow: disclaimer, :arrow: footnote, :arrow: or lengthy oratory explaining why everything from crime statistics to reports from Iraq must be viewed and understood through snopes'

Good grief. Anything that doesn't smack of far right conservative thinking or is something you don't believe in personally, is a massive world wide media conspiracy against you and/or those you choose to believe.
Everything these days has "disclaimers" attached, it is done to try to protect themselves from idiotic attorneys filing meaningless lawsuits trying to make a big payday and name for themselves.
