Meanwhile, back at the Obama New Hampshire rally….

Bencal… had been contacted by the Obama campaign to sing the anthem. He agreed to do so, then was told later in the evening the anthem had been scratched from the program. Bencal said he was told by the campaign the decision was a simple programming change to make room for another speaker….
Sandra Abrevaya, communications director for the Obama campaign’s Manchester office, confirmed the choice had simply been a last-minute scratch from the rally’s program.

So Obama, oh so short on time, naturally thinks first to drop the National Anthem. I mean, that does consume what, thirty, forty minutes?

Ahh, who needs the Anthem anyway. It’s just more of that racist cracker nonsense that Obama’s gonna wipe clean when a real rain comes to wash the right-wing scum from the face of the earth.
