While I understand your points made about the flag.... it means too much to me - it is a symbol of the country and carries alot of meaning to me - What a sight to see the flag after the 911 attack - the flag being raised many times by the military - the respect for the foundation of this country. I take it as he giving the finger to the country (also can be symbolic). Perhaps he will cut out saluting, the bill of rights and the constitution while he is at it -- just words on paper -- a major reason I see him getting as far as he has is his ability to give a good speech and many (people that I know) would rather have him than Hilary any day. (I could not pull the voting lever for Hilary - but could for Obama if I had to). I will use this when weighing my decision on the others -- on a point system this is -1 for that. They all have plus and minus scores -- I don't have a leading candidate so far.

I heard a political rumor about Barack Obama -- that he does not salute the flag or say the pledge (that he actually turns his back to the flag when it is being honored) -- is this true? Or just mud being thrown here? *these are not my words -- but I am curious since I heard them.
I hear he's a terrorist. : You know because his name is Obama. : Aren't you glad to get to hear him speak and judge him off what you hear coming out of his mouth. He is the vote of change. Also Oprah is a pretty well read lady who made a billion or so and seems pretty smart. If she publicly backing him, the first time ever to back a politician, than you got something. I been donating to his campaine since the beginning.
I found out these words came from the Democrat party itself --- his own party -- anything to get elected -- Every candidate for 50 or more years has been promising "Change" *except for the candidates who ran for a second term.

The only thing I see changing is the face in the office and the promise of taxes going up

RE: "I am and I was"
I am enjoying the autumn change -- beautiful weather, and scenes of fall - the colors are spectacular -- I walk or drive in areas and take it all in - with a good feeling in the moment.
