Teachers? He said some good things, but this was an entirely risk-free speech and as such he could have done a lot better in terms of exposition on patriotism, not talking about himself, and at least citing every Lincoln rip-off in the darn thing. It is finally becoming clear to some people around me that Barack Obama is the white capitalist establishment's black candidate. With Oil at 143 dollars a barrel and a war that's sapping 3 billion dollars a week from our economy I believe the most unpatriotic people in this country are Bush, who created these problems, McCain who will extend these problem if elected and the Republicans who support both these guys. Today on this special occasion, I am highly honoured to present my speech on Patriotism.
| Report abuse. Patriotism is a topic, which has it's advantages and also disadvantages. If one loves his own country and hates other countries, then it is nationalism rather than patriotism. He has divided black and white most assuredly and he continues to do so.

Uh... this was a speech about how great America is. I am getting sick and tired of him delivering speeches.
| Report abuse, In my opinion Obama sounds clear what he wants to transmit to the audience and gives them trust and hope.

Speech On Patriotism | Patriotism Speech for Students and Children in English Speech On Patriotism: Patriotism can be simply put as love for or devotion | Report abuse, "With Oil at 143 dollars a barrel and a war that's sapping 3 billion dollars a week from our economy I believe the most unpatriotic people in this country are Bush, who created these problems,(HOW ABOUT THE DIMOCRATS IN CONGRESS WHO PREVENT US FROM DRILLING FOR OUR OWN OIL AND THEREBY PREVENT US FROM HAVING ENERGY INDEPENDENCE - THEY WANT US TO CONTINUE BEING DEPENDENT ON THE MIDDLE EAST FOR OUR OIL SUPPLIES)...McCain who will extend these problem if elected (ACTUALLY MCCAIN WANTS TO END THE NO-DRILL POLICIES THAT HAVE GOTTEN US WHERE WE ARE TODAY, IF ONLY THE DIMOCRATS IN CONGRESS WILL ALLOW IT)and the Republicans who support both these guys.
I really like John Mccain, but I believe it is time for someone fresh, with younger ideas to govern this country. | Report abuse. All too often our politics still seems trapped in these old, threadbare arguments - a fact most evident during our recent debates about the war in Iraq, when those who opposed administration policy were tagged by some as unpatriotic, and a general providing his best counsel on how to move forward in Iraq was accused of betrayal.
It enlightens people about their predominant duties towards the nation.
And yet, at certain times over the last sixteen months, I have found, for the first time, my patriotism challenged - at times as a result of my own carelessness, more often as a result of the desire by some to score political points and raise fears about who I am and what I stand for.
Abraham Lincoln did not simply win a war or hold the Union together.
We do so in part because we are in the midst of war - more than one and a half million of our finest young men and women have now fought in Iraq and Afghanistan; over 60,000 have been wounded, and over 4,600 have been laid to rest. Patriotism means loving your country and its people enough to want it to be better! Give Obama some credit.
And yet they took that chance.
Save & Share: His patriotically speech is very convincing and is showing the right way.
