Lately, the chain e-mails that are being sent out have taken a slightly, shall we say, political standpoint. Most of the ones I receive have been ones bashing Mr. Obama, the Democratic nomination for president.
Viral pictures of him not putting his hand over his heart when saying the pledge while everyone around him is doing so and the caption underneath reading: "This clown won't even put his hand over his heart for the pledge and he's running for the office of our PRESIDENT?!" You get the point. Here is one such situation, except this one was found in a blog:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does Barrack Hussein Obama Have a Problem with the Flag and National Anthem?
But don't you call him unpatriotic. Only Democrats can use that word!
Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem at Senator Tom Harkin's Iowa Steak Fry.First it was odd when B. Hussein Obama went out of his way to mention that he stopped wearing an American flag pin on his lapel.Now, he stands with hands folded as the National Anthem is played at an event in Iowa.
Is he running for President of the Hate America Party?Maybe someone should ask him at the next debate if he can recite the Pledge of Allegiance.Why doesn't he just go all the way and start saluting this flag:

This is a slightly toned down version of the chain letter being sent around, but the picture holds true and is now being passed around the country to the dismay of some and to the elation of others.
Another e-mail chain being sent around concerns Mr. Obama's supposed "photo opportunities". The text below is a chain e-mail which I received recently:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone,
As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to 'The War Zone'. I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle , got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram. As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.
So really he was just here to make a showing for the Americans back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.
I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States. I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.
If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.
In service,

Yes indeed.
Hold on a minute though, let's think about this...
Don't all presidents have a bad tendency of doing this? Don't all hopefuls have a tendency of doing this? It's a bad habit that politician need to break in general. Politicians are at celebrity status and, like celebrities, it seems like we are on a completely different planet than they are whenever we see them on the television or featured in magazine like People or Life & Style or on shows like The View or The Late Night Show with David Letterman.
Point being, politicians already are able to do things which us commoners aren't able to achieve in a lifetime. They enter into politics with that lovely baggage (Louis Vuitton and Burberry, thank you very much) and they can't escape until death, and still their legacy lives on after death. Pay no heed to these e-mails, I'm just surprised that I haven't received one about McCain yet and I'm SURE Democrats everywhere might have a few choice words about him.
