Barack Obama Refused the Pledge...my response

My response to the knuckle-head that forwarded the Barack Obama Refused the Pledge of Allegiance email:

Don't you love the politics of fear and attempted character assassination!

Before you believe and / or forward this type of material, you should at least do your research and get your facts straight. There is no debate that the picture that first appeared in Time Magazine is legitimate and the occurrence took place during the playing of the National Anthem. However, there is no data to support the claim "he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE"

...and what image did you form when you heard or learned that Barack Obama's middle name is Hussein? Did you think of the former King of Jordan [King of Jordan (1953-1999) who established a constitutional hereditary monarchy and espoused a moderate, generally pro-Western policy in the Middle East. He lost control of western Jordan in the Arab-Israeli War (1967) but was victorious in the resulting civil war (1970).] or did you just let mind run wild and just get scared? Remember your history, before he was America's enemy, Saddam Hussein was America's friend...and King Hussein and the country of Jordan have always been America's friend. The point...a name is just a name.

Read and respond to this email and others of this sort with truth and context.

I had heard about this but a picture is definitely worth 1000 words! God save us!!!

Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem.Barack Hussein Obama's photo (that's his real name)......the article said he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE.....how can a man like this expect to be our next Commander-in-Chief????

I wish not concur on it. I regard as warm-hearted post. Expressly the title-deed attracted me to review the whole story.
