With crap like this it is no wonder the rest of the world thinks America is full of imbeciles. Here are two more examples...So far when co-workers bring up the "Hussein" nickname I have asked them if they realize how ignorant they sound because making fun of "Hussein" as a name is like some foreigner coming here and thinking there is something ominous about a person named Richard, William or Robert, because that is what Hussein is likened to.Then there is the picture of Obama with his hand not on his heart during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner. People have no clue that that photograph comes from an event during the playing of the national anthem and not the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and that modern courtesy during the playing of the national anthem does not require one to place a hand over the heart. Our wonderful American intelligence at work.
