And he is running for President

"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as
taking sides," Obama said. "There are a lot of people in the world to whom
the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself
conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It
should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I
like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our
anthem, then I might salute it." This from Obama "YOMAMA"
