Obama Statement on Flag Burning Amendment WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) released the following statement on the flag burning amendment: "I cannot imagine anything more abhorrent to a veteran than seeing the flag they fought for being burned to make a political point. I too have great pride in our flag. I share outrage at the thought of it being disrespected. And though I have never seen anyone burn a flag, if I did, it would take every ounce of restraint I had not to haul off and hit them. "But we live in a country of laws. Laws are what stop people from resorting to physical violence to settle disagreements, and laws are what protect free speech. And when I became a Senator, I swore an oath to protect the Constitution. Under that oath, my first allegiance is not to a political party, or to an ideology, or to a president, or even to popular opinion, but to the Constitution and to the rule of law. "The Framers made it difficult to amend the Constitution because our founding document should not be changed just because of political concerns or temporary problems. And even the strongest supporters of this amendment are hard-pressed to find more than a few instances of flag burning each year. Those problems were left to be solved through legislation, and I support legislation introduced by Senator Durbin that makes it illegal to burn the flag without changing the Constitution. The Constitution has only been amended 27 times. These amendments include guarantees of our most basic freedoms, the freedom of religion, the right to a trial by jury, the protection against cruel punishment. "Today, there are hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops risking their lives for their country, looking to us to come up with a plan to win the peace so they can come home. Across America, there are millions who are looking for us to do something about health care, about education, about energy. The Senate will likely be in session for about 50 more days for the rest of this year. To spend the precious time we have left battling an epidemic of flag burning that does not exist is a disservice to our country. "As Richard Savage of Bloomington, Illinois wrote to me, "I am a Vietnam veteran and Republican. . . . Those who would burn the flag destroy the symbol of freedom, but amending the Constitution would destroy part of freedom itself." Mr. Savage is right, which is why I will vote against this amendment. Senator Durbin's amendment is a way forward to balance our respect for the flag with reverence for the Constitution."

They are hosting the game this year. Otherwise I doubt he'd be a top vote getter.

After this pansy NL schedule the Tigers will face the 1st place A's on the road next week and then the Mariners who are playing very well right now.

Where did you get that picture of me?

QUOTE(brijames @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 02:36 PM) Will anyone beat these fing Tigers? They will be on a west coast trip next week. Perhaps some good AL teams may be the remedy.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 01:43 PM) what i find surprising is that iguchi doesnt get the backing from japanese voters that ichiro does. Why is that surprising if you don't even think he's an all star?

QUOTE(JackTalkThai @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 02:07 PM) Followed by a wild pitch via the arm of Brad "I'm worse than Todd Jones" Lidge. I wonder why people still think he's good.

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) I decided to start Ken Griffey Jr. over Dye today on my fantasy team.... so you can expect Jermaine to be 5 for 5 with like 4 HRs today. Please keep us posted on the results of your fantasy team.

I'm wondering why there are still doubters out there. 29 games over .500 is ridiculously good.

Well the Astros aren't helping us so we need to take care of our own business.

Carlos Lee about to bat. Hit a HR in his last AB and Zambrano looked pissed. He may throw at him. Well that was uneventful.

Nice slide jackass.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 08:33 PM) The Twins still have a chance. I wish they were playing Detroit right now.

Gload's pilates class pays off.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) I'm one of the very few who still believes Detroit will fade. Best pitching staff in baseball this year.

I doubt the Tiger pen blows this game.

BTW the Twins refuse to lose.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 08:05 PM) Game's already over. The Tigers one. Most of the world just doesn't know it yet. Tigers have one? Gameday has a scoreless game.

Clemens losing it. Walks 2 in a row.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 08:01 PM) The Astro's offense is as big a joke as IWin4Prep's mustache They gave our pitchers fits.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 07:59 PM) why do we have such trouble beating s***ty teams? I dunno but Detroit eats them alive.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 07:56 PM) Something to look out for....Carlos Lee hit a homer against Zambrano, and had quite the pose after he hit it. It will be interesting to see if Zambrano throws at him next time. Cool thanks. I'll keep an eye out for his next AB. Hopefully Zambrano gets tossed and suspended.
