The following quotes by Pres. Obama were made some time ago, and it is barely possible that he may have changed his mind since then. However, adults usually don't do a complete about-face on political and moral principles.
Here is what he said at a Meet the Press interview in 2008:
"As I've said about the flag pin [usually worn on the lapel], I don't want to be perceived as taking sides".. "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing."
"The National Anthem 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. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ...."
When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past".
"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America".
The above are naive ideologies of an immature man. He apparently had no idea of world realities, nor even an understanding of basic diverse motivations of human beings. It appears that we have elected a teen-age mentality adult as US President. W are now forced to live with it another 2 years.. Meanwhile, other teen-age mentality ideologists will support the Obama program to the continuing destruction of the US economy and military power. This will result in a reduction in our standard of living.
It is customary to take the President of the US at his word.
