Reply #20: No great fan of Obama but your list sucks

> 1. He won't wear an American flag on his lapel.

Maybe he doesn't want to look like some right-wing dork who dresses
in the flag but doesn't do anything for the country it represents?

> 2. Won't put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem.

As long as he sings the Anthem then he's doing the right thing.

>(Go to damn football game and look at everyone else.)

Yeah ... he should be mumbling a few words through a mouthful of hotdog
whilst posing like his fellow sheep ...

> 3. Makes some smart comment about "if I was muslim, I would tell you."
> (Just a stupid thing to say.)

Did he tell you? What does that lead you to infer about his religion?

Again, I prefer that a candidate keeps his religion to himself as it
avoids that tacky HFCS-sweet taint of fakery that surrounds most
politicians when they pretend to be pious.

> 4. Claims he has no records from when he served in the state senate.
> (This one is to Bushesque)

I think it unlikely. Still, *he* might well not have the records but I bet
that any important ones will have been retained by *someone*.

As I said earlier, I don't care for Obama (for a whole host of reasons)
but the four that you listed don't strike me as particularly relevent.
