Obama did not get an AMERICAN education during his grade school years. The key to many of Obama’s missteps is the fact that he got his early education in Indonesia where he did not learn the patriotic American culture. Grade shcool is where we learn to say the Pledge of Allegiance and put our hand over our heart during the National Anthem. We learn thru association with other citizens what it means to be an American and what traditions and symbols are second nature to our way of expressing love of country. Obama not only missed this by getting his early education overseas, he also had a mother who apparently was much more of the world than of America. Top this off with both a father and a step father who were not American citizens and one can begin to understand why he doesn’t put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem, has a ridiculous excuse for taking off the flag pin and goes to a church that believes Africa is where ones allegience belongs. Obama dismissed the criticism of his association with Ayers and Dohrn because their terrorist destruction took place when he was 8 years old. I surmise that Obama’s foreign education and lack of early American home life during a critical time in his life has limited his sense of what is to be an American first.
