Obama Wears Flag Lapel Pin For Second Day In A Row

Chicago Tribune:

So what is that on Barack Obama's lapel as he speaks at a town meeting in conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh's hometown, Cape Girardeau, Mo.?

Why, it's a flag pin!

For the second day in a row, Obama has pinned the Stars and Stripes to his suit lapel. He also wore a flag pin yesterday at an appearance in Charleston, W.Va., in which he spoke about patriotism and veterans issues.

Obama does not typically wear a flag pin on his lapel, in contrast to many politicians who now campaign wearing the symbol. But Obama did wear flag lapel pin briefly last month in Pennsylvania, after he was given one by a disabled veteran.

Critics have targeted his habit of dressing without a flag pin to raise questions about his patriotism.

Of course he's wearing a flag pin now... the guy's a FRAUD.
His own pastor and spiritual advisor says: "he's a politician. he'll do anything to win votes"

Did you say Hillary will do or say anything to get elected? Then you are so right...yo­u get the prize....y­ou flag pin is in the mail! There is one for Hillary and McCain too! You crazy rednecks are something else...may God have mercy on your souls. Obama 08!

He should put a flag pin on his other lapel...th­en he'd be twice as patriotic as John McSame and every one else in the country.

IF YOU DO NOT STAPLE THE FLAG TO YOUR FOREHEAD YOU ARE NOT AN AMERICAN. THAT MEANS YOU, CITIZEN!

This topic is so old and DUMB.

Does HRC wear a flag pin? No. But she wears pants. What do you make of that editor?

Give it a fraking rest already!

[Ermasdaughter]

This discussion is appalling. The 'smallness of our politics" is killing me! Can we get over this god-forsaken topic please!!

[jubo]

Still don't think he's a fascist.

Remember when Fox manufactured outrage over dirty flags? Clowns.

[DeanLowe]

Why start now, Barack??

[JiminNC]

Because a VietNam vet gave him the flag in a rope line yesterday and asked him to wear it. Now, he has a reason other than plastic patriotism.

Hey, if you visit 57 states, you should be allowed to wear a flag pin and not be questioned about it.

[thisoldbroad]

57?

[econdr]

Hahaha who cares.

He's still a terrorist

[nellie]

Projection. Typical.

[MRb1000]

That why we should make you leave the country because you are un-American. Have you ever been in the military.

[econdr]

no. america hasn't fought a war worth dying for in a long time

[marco34la]

he's not a terrorist.­.. he just hangs out with them!

[hillarysupporter]

yeah, that really changes my mind about him. His wife "omarosa" needs to wear the pin, too....

[thisoldbroad]

Good thing you're not a racist..

[NewRiver]

what in hillarysupporter's post is racist? You on the left need to get past the "oh if anyone questions him or says anything that questions his record or ideas then they're racist" card. It is getting worn and won't withstand the scrutiny of the general election, even with the MSM in the bag for Barry.

[Citizen69]

Who thinks and cares....i­s what I mean.

[Citizen69]

Who cares?

[Citizen69]

Why?

[marco34la]

easy... cuz he's a fraud and will do anything to get elected.
this is not about helping you..
it's about HIM... becoming the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT.

[TheNuff]

SMH. This man is winning fair and square. He just happens to be 1/2 black. What is your problem?

[WilliamBentley2]

Okay marco, is there a way to prove he's not a fraud in your opinion? I am guessing, no.

[Philm35]

Stop the presses!!!

[AERO]

Yawn.

[marco34la]

YAWN IS RIGHT! THAT'S HOW I FELT WHEN HE TRIED SAYING HE WAS A "NEW POLITICIAN­"...
NOW LOOK AT HIM... GIVING HIS "PAW" BEGGING THAT WE GIVE HIM A TREAT.

[JiminNC]

Hmmm, got bitterness?
