Senator James Inhofe from Oklahoma said some things the other day that were interpreted as questioning Barack Obama's patriotism. He basically said Obama would lose because Americans would decide he didn't love his country enough. This morning, Inhofe's office issued a statement that included the following…
[I am not] questioning Sen. Obama's patriotism, but you have to question why at times he seems so obviously opposed to public displays of patriotism and national pride, like wearing an American flag lapel pin.
I don't think wearing a flag pin or not says anything about a person's patriotism or lack thereof. But I can't help pointing out that in their respective acceptance speeches, Obama wore a flag pin and McCain did not.
I am not questioning Sen. Inhofe's sanity, but you have to question why at times he seems so obviously opposed to public displays of sanity.
