Barack Hussein Obama is going around telling everyone about what a great American Patriot he is. Dude, here's some free advice: patriotism is like respect. It's something you earn by your actions, service to your country, and who your associates are, not something you get more of the more you talk about it. Here's what NOT to do: receiving advice from unpatriotic race baiters like Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton; meeting up with an unrepentant domestic terrorist like William Ayers; having your wife Michele Obama make idiotic statements saying she is proud of her country for the first time in her life; consorting with shady convicted criminals like Antoin Rezko; refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance; and not putting your hand over your heart for the Star Spangles Banner. The list is a little long to be honest, Barack. Hate to say it but there's kind of a pattern here.
