John Hawkins has an article addressing Barack and Michelle Obama’s problem with being proud to be Americans. He brings up the well known issues of Barack refusing to wear an American Flag Pin or refusing to put his hand over his heart while the National Anthem is played. The Obama’s have a reality problem which is a common trait among Socialists/Communists/Marxists. Let’s look at the Obama’s life. They are both Ivy League educated. Mrs. Obama is an executive for a health care organization making around $275,000 a year plus she’s on the board of another organization from which she is paid $100,000. Mr. Obama is a US Senator and previously an Illinois State Senator. Between the two of them they are pulling down at least half a million a year in salary, not counting perks. For that alone, these two should be forever grateful and PROUD to be Americans.

But as Socialists these two believe that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. They don’t deal in reality and with that putting the Obama’s into the White House is a dangerous proposition.

Explaining to the Obamas Why They Should Be Proud of Their Country

“For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country, because it feels like hope is making a comeback.” — Michelle Obama

Is that a surprising sentiment to hear from a woman who wants to be first lady? You might think so, until you realize that she is married to a man who doesn’t hold his hand over his heart for the Pledge of Allegiance and makes a big deal out of not wearing a flag pin. Those two would make a great first couple — of Cuba or maybe Venezuela. Granted they might be a little to the Left of the people in charge now, but if anybody needs empty feel-good speeches featuring lots of Sesame Street rhetoric about “change, “hope,” and “unity,” it’s the citizens of Cuba and Venezuela.

But, since the Obamas’ patriotism is as thin as Barack’s resume, maybe someone should take the time to explain to them why they should appreciate this country.

I go back to Shelby Steele’s interview with Peter Robinson which I think exposes much about Barack Obama.
