In the video, he was clearly JOKING in response to an off camera employee that "keeps telling me what to do". Big difference between joking between colleagues and disrespecting The Pledge (or anthem, if you believe Obama's explanation). Your post of Bush picture was a "oh yeah?!" retort to the Obama picture, no?

Rich,
I already posted the link to that video in my last response. What
additional context does that give it? It shows a 40something old man
childishly laughing because he flipped off a camera. How
respectable
and
mature.

You know what Earl Long used to say, "If you're with me in
the
first
primary, you get a job. Otherwise you get good government."

Well, Paul, you could head him off at the pass by
supporting
Mrs.
Clinton. If I were you, I'd seriously consider it because none
of
the
Republican candidates seem to be pulling ahead of the
pack.
Thompson is
dead in the water now that the screenwriters are out on
strike,
and
support from the Christian mullahs doesn't seem to be
coalescing
behind
any one candidate. Hillary may be your best bet in '08.

Here's a recap of Obama's visit to a Texas fundraiser
this
weekend,
from
a
guy who works at the location where it was held:
<<
One of the bennies of the job is that I don't have to pony
up
3K a
plate
to
see the guy.
VERY interesting time. Not for what he talked about really,
it's
all
the
usual Dem drivel. Global warming, healthcare, the
war,
alternative
fuels,
etc.
What I wanted to get a look at is what kind of a speaker
he
was.
Fellas, he's scary and we have a real problem.
Charismatic,
funny,
personable, He had the audience completely captivated and
at
ease
within
minutes.
Major players too. Most of the top dems in Texas and
business
leaders.
He
made a LOT of money tonight above and beyond the 3K a plate
for
crappy
BBQ.
Lance Armstrong was there and was specifically singled out as
a
major
player
in Obama's campaign. Obama thanked him personally from
the
stage.
He makes Bill Clinton look like a door to door
vacuum
salesman.
Literally
light years ahead of Hillary and just about every other
dem
hopeful. (I
can
make a direct comparison to Hillary; I've been to her
fundraisers
too.)
The man fielded questions off the cuff for 45 minutes and
did
an
outstanding
job.
Some of the promises he made.
Universal heathcare. No time frame, but strong hints of
happening
in
his
first term. (LOTS of references to his first term. He's
planning
on
running
again already)
Limiting profits from drug companies. Would actually TAKE
what
he
considered
excess profits and use it for healthcare funding. (How he's
going
to
determine this I have no idea.)
Troops out of Iraq within 16 MONTHS of assuming office.
No
ongoing
presence,
no permanent bases. Will continue the war in
Afghanistan.
(that
surprised
me, as it did the crowd) Will give Iran a say in the future
of
Iraq.
Reversing anti-American opinions around the world as a reason.
Mandated MINIMUM 40 mpg standards for vehicles. (all of them
apparently,
truck and passenger cars) No time frame, again the impression
of
during
his
first term. Punitive taxes on vehicles not meeting
the
standard
mentioned.
ALL power plants retrofitted to stricter CO
emission
standards.
No
time
frame, but definitely mandatory. Reducing greenhouse
emissions
to
combat
global warming is a priority it seems.
Wants to reverse the "Anti-immigration Hysteria"
currently
gripping the
country. Took a "they are the future" approach.
Wants to cure AIDS in Africa. Has a massive health program
in
mind.
Other
unspecified aid to Africa. Treated us to a heart warming
story
about
how
his
grandmother lives in a mud hut somewhere in Africa so
he
identifies
with
them.
Palestine statehood. Israel to pay reparations and give up
the
West
Bank
and
Gaza strip.
More money for teachers. More money for education in
general.
More
money
for
the VA.
What he did NOT mention.
Guns, current federal or military funding, abortion,
foreign
policy
beyond
Iraq, Nuke power, lowering taxes.
Flatly stated that Hillary is unelectable because of her
past
baggage.
The crowd loved him.
