Obama is not in the election to assuage white guilt. He is in the election to be President of the United States of America. If this same man has bitterness, anger, resentment and hate for America then it makes no sense for us to put him in the position to protect and defend that same Union of States.
Various little events on Obama’s road to Democratic front runner seemed off; his refusal to wear the flag pin, his keeping a hand off his chest during a song honoring our nation, his wife’s comment regarding her lack of adult pride in America until her husband’s candidacy. All but the last comment could be explained to a certain extent. Take away his socialist agenda, his promise to have us out of Iraq or any of the other political differences he might have with me and many others. You can take all that away and what you are left with is the wonder, does this man have America’s best interests at heart, will he do what it takes to defend our interests and will he do what it takes to defend our body, our freedom and our treasure? I would hope that even the Americans that agree with other aspects of Obama’s political agenda will at least love their country and see clearly enough that behind this agenda is a world view, a view of America, that is not presidential but more aligned with those who hate us.
