Obama's Patriotism

Or lack thereof (click for video).

From his refusal to wear the flag on his lapel, to his refusal to display the proper respect for our National Anthem in the presence of the United States Flag, Obama's contempt for America, all for which it stands, and for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms he enjoys, are proof positive that he is unfit to bear its standard.

Even if he "forgot" to show the proper respect, his "forgetfulness" is illustrative of his priorities; and is likewise illustrative of his contempt toward those who before him have made the ultimate sacrifice so that he and other ungrateful, smug, self-centered adolescent rubes can ramble on about how displaying love and respect for one's country mean nothing. After all--he didn't have to pay for his freedoms.

I guess it may be a natural tendency not to appreciate that for which one has not lifted a finger to obtain.

But I would have hoped that as an adult, Obama would have the ability to rise above the self-centered and self-serving, and show some appreciation for what others have given.

I guess that's just too much to ask.
