Did the Washington Post really quote Barack Obama as saying this about our country's flag, etc........?

Question

According to the Washington Post:

Obama says: The American flag is a symbol of oppression. He goes on to say that he would change our flag if elected. Not only that-he says our national anthem is violent and he would change that too.
The Star Spangled Banner describes how early Americans freed themselves from oppression.

How can any American EVEN think of voting him into office?????

No respect for our country or all the lives lost for our freedoms and liberty? Seriously.........what are they NOT teaching kids in History class now a days? sigh

Answer 1

That is exactly what he said.

Answer 2

Can you provide a link to the Washington Post article?



I did a search and none of what you posted was found in the Post.

Answer 3

No. That's an old one, and it's been refuted long ago.
