I would vote for a man who didn't pledge allegiance to the flag merely because I know that he loves our country. He just doesn't believe in the words used in the Pledge of Allegiance. They go against the religion he was raised with. His mother was an Athiest, his father was a Muslim. Out of respect for his father and the morals he raised him with, he doesn't believe in pledging allegiance to the flag. A majority of Americans DON'T pledge allegiance to the flag merely because their religous beliefs don't fit with the pledge you have to say while you do so. If the words were rephrased then Buddhist Monks, Wiccans, Pagans, Jews and Muslims could all pledge allegiance to the flag. We don't live in the 1700's Christian dominated country anymore. There is this thing called diversity. ALTHOUGH BARACK OBAMA DOES ATTEND A CHRISTIAN CHURCH AND HAS CHRISTIAN BELIEFS, he is not 100% Christian. You have to respect the religion he was raised with. It's a part of him. He's a good leader despite your disagreeance with him not pledging allegiance. Just because he isn't EXACTLY like you, does not mean he is not worthy of Presidency. It does not mean he'd make any less of a great leader. Like I said before...... he's an outstanding person. Look at the person. Look at who he is. Look at what he can do for our country. He loves America, but we shouldn't force him to be somebody he is not. I respect him even more for his individuality, honestly. That just goes to show he'll always be true to himself and what he believes in... which says a lot about his overall character. He's the one who will fight to the end to make GREAT things happen for all of us, as a nation... as a world hand in hand. Who are you to judge him for not pledging allegiance? It's like you not wanting to play G.I. Joe with your buddies when you were a kid because they didn't like hot dogs too. Capeesh?!
