Obama Shows His Patriotism by NOT Wearing a US Flag Pin
Because nothing shows your patriotism like stuffing that US flag pin in the drawer!

Barak Obama shows his patriotism by not sporting a US flag pin on his chest.
ABC News reported:
An eagle-eyed reporter for the ABC affiliate in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, noticed something missing from Democratic presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama's, D-Ill., lapels.Hat Tip George L.
"You don't have the American flag pin on. Is that a fashion statement?" the reporter asked, at the end of a brief interview with Obama on Wednesday. "Those have been on politicians since Sept. 12, 2001."
The standard political reply to that question might well have been, "My patriotism speaks for itself."
But Obama didn't say that. Instead the Illinois senator answered the question at length, explaining that he no longer wears such a pin, at least in part, because of the Iraq War.
"You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin," Obama said. "Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest.
I'm sure the blowhards at Code Pink would agree.
Pajamas Media has a flag pin roundup!

Has anyone seen Elizabeth Edward’s take on Rush’s Viet Nam deferment? Via Drudge Report:

Obama starting to resemble Harry Mason

identical "messianic pose" that gives me
that impression.. pffft!

That's odd. I thought Waxman didn't have to go into the military because he failed the "You have to be this this tall" to be in the Army test. Isn't he about 4'5"?
Well this is hardly a suprise...
Is Barack Obama ashamed of having a white parent?
Then again is Obama a serial liar?
So what does it mean when Obama shucks his flag pin? Is it an honest statement or is it an appeal the same radical wing of the left as Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry?
"So what does it mean when Obama shucks his flag pin?"
I can tell you exactly what it means, Juandos. It means that like most of his Democratic brethern, he considers himself post-patriotic or post-nationalist. He is truly a global citizen which implies, among other things, that no border, no nation, no culture, has any particular value or meaning. To accept the premise of the Socialist-o-Crats, that flag represents nothing more than opression and imperialism.

hmm, funny aspiration for a man who is seeking to not only represent "we the people", but live under our countries FLAG!!

AND ALL THE RICH REPUBLICANS WILL WEAR THEIR "MADE IN CHINA" PINS JUST LIKE HILLARY DOES SO THEY WON'T UPSET THEIR CHINESE DONORS OR THE CHINESE COORPORATE PROFITS THAT FEED THEIR PORTFOLIOS.
THE WHOLE ISSUE MAKES THE WORKING CLASS AMERICANS SICK OF BOTH SIDES OF THE ISLE.
O'Bomination is exactly that - an abomination. Nothing but another useless, liberal, piece of trash democrat who supports abortion and other immoralities. What else would anyone expect from him?
