So just how patriotic is Barack Obama?
The Democratic presidential candidate is wearing his American flag pin a bit more these days and talks frequently about his love for the USA, but questions still persist about Obama’s commitment to the nation.

"Enough already," Bill Murrain, an Atlanta attorney and political observer, told BlackAmericaWeb.com Wednesday. "I grew up in a place in the Americas where one could be arrested for not carrying a government issued ID book that if it did not have the correct stamp of the correct political party you could easily land in jail."
What is Patriotism?....
