The First Thing He'll do is...

Thanks to Lucianne.com for the Obama 'toon.

The next thing he'll have to do is get rid of those pesky American flags:

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin because it has become a substitute for "true patriotism" since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Asked about it Wednesday in an interview with KCRG-TV in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Illinois senator said he stopped wearing the pin shortly after the attacks and instead hoped to show his patriotism by explaining his ideas to citizens.

"The truth is that right after 9/11 I had a pin," Obama said. "Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security.

"I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest," he said in the interview. "Instead, I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testament to my patriotism."

Then he'll need to do away with that archaic tradition of placing the right hand over the heart while the "Star Spangled Banner" is being played:



Well, we could give him the benefit of the doubt that this particular rendition of America's theme song was so bad that he didn't recognize it... (note to Obama...when in doubt, take your cues from the people around you.)

We could, but we won't!
