Petty Lapel Pin Question

[mkemse]

Actually it is pretty obvious:

Despite the fact that the media slams McCain every chance it gets.

Could the reason they dont attack his patriotism be due to the fact that his reputation and track record in that reguard is impecable,?

I mean he actually has fought and suffered for the American people.

I agree but so have Millions of other American Solidiers,the fought for their Country, even ended up also as a POW and who knows how many POW's remain alive in the hidden Jungles of Viet Nam I admire and Respect Mccain and cerainly fee for him as a Froemr POW for what he had to have gone through
Where as Obama's patriatism has been called into question since the begining by so many people that the media had to address it. Which is no surprise considering the company he keeps and his background. Basically Obama needs to wear the pin and began to do so after it was pointed out to him the need for him to do so.

It is of course a matter of perspective. The media is well aware where they can get thier jibes in and have the people swallow them and where they cannot.

A better question might be why does Obama have his own tv channel for his campaign?

Bush didn't even serve in the MIlaiatry he "Military Time" wasspent in the National Guard
And having a Stellar Military Carrerseems to me even MORE the reason to wear a Lapel Pin, not less, However having a Steller Military Record in and of itself does NOT automaticly qualify you to be President, if it did we would have a Half Million Qualified people run every 4 years
As far as Obama's "TV Channel" goes. he raised the money, under law he can invest it in as many ads as he wants,

Anf if that background on PObamam is in reguard to that "Left Wing Radical" he was with in the 1960's what the media DOES NOT SAY is that Obamam at the time was olby 8 years old.
You ca not hold a person responisble for EVERY person they knew there whole life, has has denouced REv Right and his "Radical Friend" he could have simply not addressed the issue, but he did he denounced both
He can't fo anything more then that and distance himself from them as opposed to him NOT saying or doing anything
Most people in their lives be the Famous or not have done something wrong in there life, or somethingthey are not proud of it is part of growing

Clinton Has Monica, G. Bush Jr our Current Prsident used families ties to serve in the National Guard and Not in the Army, Navy Air Force or Marines, Jimmy Carter has his drunken Brother

But those they were associated had little if any bearing in MOST cases on their job as Predient, escept possibly for Carter

Being an American Hero should be all the more reason to wear an American Flag Lapel Pin to proudly show your Patriatism not less
And as far as Obama goes, in his friendship iwth Tony Rezko, Resko has said numerous times Obamam did NOTHING wrong
If you have a good friend who you buy a house from then find out they had illegal dealing while you knew them, unless youwere involved in thosedealing that should have NO reflection on you

To me yes, Mccain is an American Hetoe, no question about it, and both Obama and Biden have pointed that out many times but at the same time, so is /was Bruce Jenner and Michael Phelps in thier own way, but does that qua;ify them to be President, I don't think so
BTW JFK had no virtual experience as a Senator twhen he ran for President and he was Roman Cathlc to boot (this is in NO way a meant as an isult to other Roams Cathlics) and because he was nobody felt JFK had a chance in the wolrd to win

thanks for your reply, it is appriciated
