Who says Barack Obama's not patriotic?

After all the Internet gossip about Obama not saluting the flag during the national anthem or wearing a flag pin often enough, Obama got the upper hand briefly tonight on the patriotrism argument.

It was an Obama superdelegate — N.C. Democratic Party vice chairwoman Dannie Montgomery — who led the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner.

U.S. Rep. David Price then led the invocation with Psalm 100. 

Joyce Brayboy has endorsed Barack Obama.

The Democratic superdelegate, whose day job is as a Washington, D.C.-based lobbyist, made the decision recently.

Previously, she told Dome that she would study both candidates' electability and their stances on health care and education before making a decision.

U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield and two other superdelegates, Everett Ward and Dannie Montgomery, are also backing Obama, while Charlotte City Councilwoman Susan Burgess backs Hillary Clinton.

Dannie Montgomery supports Barack Obama because of his outreach.

The vice chairwoman of the N.C. Democratic Party, who is a superdelegate to the national convention, told the Charlotte Observer she's excited about her opportunity to make a difference at "so historic a time."

"All the great significance is there," she said. "We are on the verge of changing the direction of our country. The concerns of the people are about to become relevant again."

Montgomery is a longtime Democratic activist in rural Anson County. She told the Observer that she's been contacted by the campaign of Hillary Clinton, but she's committed to Obama because he "wants to reach out to everybody."
