I ran across this statement that made it perfectly clear why Obama did not wear the American Flag lapel pin.
Bush said if you were not against terrorists, then you were not with us. From a liberal book, it related that those that were against the Iraq war included themselves, as this enemy of the state. This statement was a call to all nations to say terrorists any where were no longer accepted. People with a different opinion are not a terrorists unless they acted out to kill innocents.
I'm thinking if Bush would have given the Iraqi citizens American voting cards, then the Dems would have compassion about the slaughtering of Iraqi citizens by Saddam.
Obama said he stopped wearing the American lapel pin because it represents a symbol and not a true belief. He decided at the debate with Rev. Rick Warren, as host, he could not give the real reason.
Geithner said China is manipulating the currency. China could get upset with this statement and want to pull their support of our treasuries. Geither may want to change that statement, but this is the real world, not a campaign where you can change the message depending on who is in the audience.
But, unlike the campaign, words have consequences.
As do, our votes.
