The other Obama smear this week was that he wasn't wearing a Stars and Stripes lapel badge, and this means he's UnAmerican. Pathetic smear, really. His response was pretty good, I thought, and shows why the election needs someone with impeccable anti-Iraq War credentials:
Quote:
About not wearing an American flag lapel pin, Obama said Republicans have no lock on patriotism.
"A party that presided over a war in which our troops did not get the body armor they needed, or were sending troops over who were untrained because of poor planning, or are not fulfilling the veterans' benefits that these troops need when they come home, or are undermining our Constitution with warrantless wiretaps that are unnecessary?
"That is a debate I am very happy to have. We'll see what the American people think is the true definition of patriotism."

Wallop. So good to see he didn't rush round and cover himself in the flag, but actually went for the real issue.
