I was just watching Michael Phelps dominate the 4x100 individual medleys. I got all choked up during the medal cerimony seeing the raising of the American flag and the happiness in the faces of Phelps and bronze winner Ryan Lachte. I was equally thrilled to see Phelps and Lachte show proper respect by covering their hearts during the raising of the American flag and playing of the national anthem. That brings my thoughts about a man who wants to be our president, Barrack Hussein Obama. Why is it that he won't show the same respect to our flag? Why did he put down the people who wear flag pins on their lapel? Why does he need to be reminded about saying the Pledge of Allegiance? Why is he more interested in being a citizen of the world than a citizen of the United States of America? I can't read Obama's mind or see what is in his heart. I can only judge him by his actions and his words. But I do wonder more often than not how he really feels about America and what the America stands for. Is Obama going to be a president who will stand up for what America stands for? Or is he going to be a president that wants America to stand up for what he stands for?
