As does ( even more) the words "under god" being the pledge...However, while I have been and continue to be, anywhere from upset to furious about some of the "compromises" of the Obama administration, this one is something I do understand in terms of political expediency and practicality and cut him some slack on. It is relatively innocuous and I see no need to give ammunition to our enemies over something like this; sometimes you gotta know which battles to pick to fight , although god knows , (pun intended, BTW) in my opinion he hasn't picked nearly enough of 'em, but this one would seem to me to be unnecessary and counterproductive. This is just my opinion, and to anyone who disagrees and thinks this is a stand that should be made, I understand your perspective and acknowledge that you may very well be right.
