Here is something that was sent to me by email and it is kinda scary. It says that Obama said, he thinks we should consider changing our nation's flag and national anthem! If anybody knows that this is for sure NOT TRUE, please feel free to comment. All I know is this came in the email. The only thing different is the swear words by the writer have been removed.
