If you are talking about the ABC debate,, it was a stupid one not worth discussing any further. Message 24509972 I don't wear the lapel pin myself and I bet that as a naturalized US citizen, I love the US as much as you do if not more.

Maybe he was downright indignant that someone like he and his life story which Charlie and George S know too well, can allow such a question to be asked..........

How can I be proud of a POTUS and Veterans Affairs system who will not provide for the troops when they come home brain injured and mentally injured? You tell me..why should I be proud that they have to fight tooth and nail with advocates to get what they need? That we don't give them the educational benefits to get ahead in life once they return home? Why should I not be ashamed? You can love this country and be deeply ashamed of some of its actions. Stop conflating righteous anger and shame with 'love for America'........

I thought the lapel pin was significant. Why is Obama ashamed of our country? Does wearing a pin make you a patriot? How about Draft dodgers like Clinton, avoiding the draft because there are more important things to do Dick Cheney making them patriotic at that time by wearing a lapel pin? Does a lapel pin solves the country problems? How about the war in Iraq?
