Thats what I love about what this country has come to , we say we have become more enlighten but any chance we get we target things meant to stir hatred in us.
"We checked this out on ' snopes.com'. It is factual. Check for yourself. "
This doesn't mean its factual , you really think a man who rose to be an AMERICAN Senator would be so stupid as to
"NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches."
The bible swearing in ceremony, while believing in the Consitution and freedom of relgion, I think totally not relevant , is also wrong,

An anonymous e-mail says Barack Obama took the oath of office for the U.S. Senate on a Koran, the holy book of Islam. We thought it would be odd if that were true, since Obama is a Christian. In fact, it is wrong.
The e-mail also spells the book's name "Kuran," though usually it is spelled Koran or Quran.
Two press reports from Obama's swearing-in ceremony in January 2005 mention specifically that Obama took the oath of office by placing his hand on his own copy of the Bible. The Barack Obama campaign also confirmed that it was a Bible and that the book belonged to Obama. Vice President Dick Cheney, in his role as president of the Senate, administered the oath.
After being raised outside of any particular faith tradition, Obama became a Christian in his mid 20s and is a member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. (Obama gave what are arguably his most extended remarks on his faith at the "Call to Renewal" religious conference in 2006; read the speech here.)
We suspect this false claim was inspired by the 2007 swearing-in of Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., an American convert to Islam and the first Muslim elected to Congress. Ellison used a Koran that once belonged to Thomas Jefferson, borrowing the rare book from the Library of Congress.
It goes without saying that Ellison is not Obama. And with its intent to inflame, we find the e-mail's allegation not only false, but Pants-on-Fire wrong.
I tell you what really scares the heck out of me , thats holy than though Christians, I have read several versions of the Bible , and I often wonder what Christ would have thought of people that spread this kind of information, with the goal of spreading fear and hatred.
I donot believe this was the intent of bamagirl68 , but it was the intent of the people that originally penned this email.
For the record, I am not an Obama supporter, but as a person who once swore to protect the constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic, I am deeply offended by this type of propaganda and gossip.
