If anyone doubted his patriotism before, here is all the proof that you need to know that you were right about Barack Obama. The National Anthem was scrubbed from an Obama rally to make room for another speaker. Did you get that…The National Anthem?
This is not the Democrat party of your father or grandfather; it belongs to the hate America Socialist crowd. Obama has no business running for president of this great country.
Not present, or at least not singing the National Anthem at the rally was Londonderry senior Zach Bencal.
Bencal, who sings the anthem for a number of school events and is actively involved in local community theatre, had been contacted by the Obama campaign to sing the anthem. He agreed to do so, then was told later in the evening the anthem had been scratched from the program. Bencal said he was told by the campaign the decision was a simple programming change to make room for another speaker.
“I guess it just wasn’t meant to be,” Bencal said.
Sandra Abrevaya, communications director for the Obama campaign’s Manchester office, confirmed the choice had simply been a last-minute scratch from the rally’s program, which included the Pledge of Allegiance.
“We regret the miscommunication with Zach about today’s event but we are pleased that several other New Hampshire residents were able to speak at today’s event, where thousands of voters in both parties gathered to hear Sen. Obama discuss his plan to bring the change we need to Washington.”
With more than 4000 votes cast John McCain owns Barack Obama in this week’s AOL Straw poll. In fact, as of this post, he has all 538 Electoral votes.
Keep in mind that AOL supposedly has a heavily left-leaning customer base. Call me an optimist but I think this poll may be a more accurate snapshot of the silent majority.
John McCain delivered a funny, respectful and classy speech at the 63rd annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner last night. The event which historically has hosted presidential contenders over the years has been called “dessert for the politically minded” because it is filled with inside jokes, sharp witted self-deprecating humor and fun laugh-out-loud digs between the two candidates.
If John McCain had been campaigning like this the whole time, he would be leading in the polls by at least 15 points.
