According to Snopes.com, a rumor checking website, there is a bogus email going around that says that President Obama is going to have the military pledge directly to him–not to uphold the Constitution.

I guess the thing about this whole dustup that worries me is that we know so little about Barack Obama that some people were willing to believe the story..
