Is this man the RIGHT man???

No, you are mistaken. Obama has shown thru his WORDS that he cares about the people who live in this country. He has shown thru his ACTIONS that he does NOT: **no help for his own brother (I don't care that he didn't grow up with him; they are brothers and he has visited him.) **no help for his aunt, and when it came out that she is here illegally all he had to say was he didn't know (of course) and all appropriate laws should be applied... **the low income neighborhood in Obama's Chicago district is in disrepair and the people are SUFFERING. He had the ability to help, as a private citizen with millions of dollars, AND he had the ability to help as the Senator for their district: his help went to their miserable LANDLORDS (the ones who helped make his career...) **even tho economic advisers and CEO's, and those who know about such things repeatedly say that his tax policy will lead to a SEVERE recession or a DEPRESSION, he continues on that road, and he even said it will take longer to recover doing it his way, but it is FAIR!!!! McCain has a LONG history of helping people as both a private citizen AND a Senator. McCain has been well respected by BOTH Dems and Republicans for many years, BECAUSE of his bipartisan mindset and his willingness to buck anyone who is wrong, even if it could hurt him. You can try, but you cannot honestly deny this is true. *****And you cannot deny that, as a multi-millionaire and a US Senator, if Obama REALLY wanted to change the world and help people, we would have SEEN SOME OF THAT HELP BY NOW

Unfortunately, I can't paste anything here yet. So I will keep coming back with links, one at a time - sorry. Here, McCain's money to charities, including all of his pay increases in the Senate since 1991 -- he didn't agree that they should get a pay increase, and it was approved anyway, so he vowed not to take it and hasn't -- any increase in his Senate pay since 1991 has gone to charity. McCain is a remarkable man if people would just open their eyes and look. http://philanthropy.com/news/updates/4437/john-mccain-discloses-data-on-his-charity-giving

I disagree. Barack Obama has shown more than words through his work in the poor communities in Chicago starting back in 1985 when he could have been earning big bucks practicing law, followed by his stint in the Illinois State Legislature and as a U.S. Senator. I also don't agree that he is responsible for his brother or his estranged father's half sister and definitely is not responsible for knowing the whereabouts of every member of his extended and very fragmented family. My ex's sister and her worthless boyfriend choose to work for a carnival...have been doing that for years. Off season they survive on unemployment. They live in a travel trailer. Should my children, her own son or any of the other members of the family be responsible for her? Right now, since the show travels in the south during the fall, I have no idea what state she's even in. She's poor by choice. Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Obama is as responsible for keeping track of his aunt as my daughter is of keeping track of hers. As far as economic advisors and CEO's go, you will find a variety of opinions regarding to Obama's tax policy depending on who you talk to so you can't take any one or two opinions as Gospel...unless you choose to. McCain has a LONG history of helping people as both a private citizen AND a Senator. Would you mind sharing some examples with me? Not tax write-offs, but where McCain has actually become involved and given his time as well as some of his massive wealth to others. McCain has been well respected by BOTH Dems and Republicans for many years, BECAUSE of his bipartisan mindset and his willingness to buck anyone who is wrong, even if it could hurt him. You can try, but you cannot honestly deny this is true. He certainly doesn't have a history of bucking Bush according to his voting record so I guess that would mean that Bush was right each time? I don't really know. I'm more interested in the future, I guess. *****And you cannot deny that, as a multi-millionaire and a US Senator, if Obama REALLY wanted to change the world and help people, we would have SEEN SOME OF THAT HELP BY NOW The same can be said about John McCain who has actually had MUCH MORE TIME and MUCH MORE MONEY to change the world and help people. Had he done so we would have seen some of THAT HELP by now, too.

I don't believe he is the man for the job and his disrespect for the flag and for the American people is just part of my reasoning for believing this way.

Well, congrats to you, I guess. Everyone has their own expectations for how a president should act. Empty symbolism just happens to not be in my qualifications.

Oh, if only it WERE empty symbolism! It obviously is NOT EMPTY, or he wouldn't bother to defy it.

A person can be disappointed in a policy, in a President or Congress. They can be not proud of a certain aspect. However, to say you've NEVER been proud of your country -- a country that no one can honestly deny HAS done a lot of good for a lot of people, regardless of any mistakes, is a so wrong, and so unAmerican, and SO NOT WORTHY TO BE PRESIDENT.

guess what tons of people are disappointed in America right now that's why the voting numbers are sky high right now in this election cause they want to see it get better.

My "claim" is that the picture speaks volumes about how Obama feels about us, our country, our flag. How can he lead a people he cannot respect? How can he protect and defend our Constitution, as he will swear to do if sworn in as President, when he doesn't care anything about our Constitution. He believes the Constitution can and should be CHANGED. That document is what has protected us for over two centuries, and if we allow it to be changed by activist judges or by politicians, we are setting ourselves up for ANYONE who can get themselves elected (including by lying or presenting a false image that we fail to recognize til it is too late)to come and change ANYTHING to the way they want it. The American people were given a most precious gift by our very savvy forefathers. We cannot let ANYONE take that from us.

The photo speaks for itself - there needs not be anything more specific!~

This photo is completely subjective, we don't know at which point this photo was taken. Were they saying the pledge cause no one's mouth is moving and everyone is looking in a different direction. If they are playing the national anthem it's never been a requirement to put your hand on your heart for that. If anything it kinda looks like he might be the only one paying attention to the task at hand. Please stop the fear propaganda, that has been the major reason McCain's campaign suffered.
