I shared an Obama poster on FB and this was the first reply....

The poster was of Obama at a podium under the legend, "This Is What a Commander in Chief Looks Like"

Someone who knows someone I know: If he was a Commander and Chief he would be saluteing the flag of this great country and pledgeing allegance to it. He not my Cheif or choices for the office he has been in eather and hope the poles show that in Nov. Then I wish he would leave the day he looses so he can screw something up more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope their is know guestion who I'm voting for by anyone out there.

Me: He is receiving more contributions from people in the Armed Services than any other president ever. They seem to feel he is patriotic, and if they do, so do I. I do understand the way you feel, Tommy. I felt the same way when G.W. Bush was up for re-election. Although I was honored to vote for Kerry in that election, I would have voted for anyone besides Bush.

He says we went to HS together. Funny I don't remember him from English class.

He probably figured he didn't need to go since English was his muther tung, after all.

But I doubt he credits book larnin' fer it, prolly comes from the privilege of being born with white skin. From his photo he looks kinda like a mountain man.

He is nearly incoherent. I don't see how someone that ignorant earns a H.S. diploma.

He and I have quite a few people from that HS in common. I only attended one year and it wasn't a bad school (for a red state) but typically sports were favored above all other things, so you had to want to learn to learn there. I do remember that upon graduation every boy who couldn't get into college was drafted.

Mostly from uninformed voters. I've already seen some links to Dubya ignoring the soldiers guarding Air Force One.

What else is out there?

But, I haven't heard back from the fellow on FB. Seems like an effective argument.
