Obama Dumps America
This is perhaps the best icon for Obama's America. They just don't get it. This photo is heartbreaking. Van points out American flags have specific rules and guidelines by which they may be displayed and disposed of, or retired. They should have been given to the VFW, or the Boy Scouts, or some civic/military organization for distribution and display.
The Flags of the DNCC

Obama 'credential' criticized for upside-down flag
http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=72802
DENVER – The "credentials" issued by the Democratic National Convention for fans of Sen. Barack Obama to attend his nomination-acceptance speech next week at Denver's football stadium are raising questions because they apparently have the U.S. flag flying upside down – an international signal of distress.
KUSA-TV in Denver reported its viewers have raised the issue, and online, a participant in a Gateway Pundit forum said, "That's an upside-down flag. It may not be intentional, but there it is."
The television station said viewers see the blue field and stars in the lower left corner, even though published flag etiquette states the stars should be displayed – always – in the upper left corner.
Obama spokesman Matt Chandler told the station the flag isn't upside down; it was just stylized to blend the stars on Obama's shirt with the flag.
"The DNCC community credentials incorporate patriotic design elements," said Natalie Wyeth of the DNCC in a statement to the station. "They do not depict an actual American flag. The DNCC has full and complete respect for the flag and all rules of display."
Such affirmations, however, were lost on some of those commenting on the issue.
"Dude can't stop disrespecting this Country!!!" wrote a contributor to the station's forum page.
Said another, "It's an upside down American flag. Which has always had a very specific meaning. Declaring it is anything else is a lie. Deflecting attention from it is a typical political maneuver. Falling for it is more proof of the dumbing down of the American voter."
It isn't the first time issues over such protocol have been raised by critics of Obama. He was photographed with Gov. Bill Richardson, Sen. Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin at a steak fry for Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin during the playing of the national anthem. Richardson, Clinton and Harkin placed their hands over their hearts, but Obama is standing casually with his fingers laced in front of him.
He also previously said he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin because it has become a substitute for "true patriotism."
To an Iowa television station, the Illinois senator explained he stopped wearing a flag pin following the 9/11 attacks.
"I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest," he told the station. "Instead, I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great."

Obama The Patriot - Removes American Flag From His Plane
Barack Obama recently finished a $500,000 total overhaul of his 757. And as part of the new design, he decided to remove the American flag from the tail...
What American running for President of the United States would remove the symbol of his country? And worse, he replaced the flag with it with a symbol of himself...

Brilliance of B. Hussein Obama
Think what you want of B. Hussein Obama, but he is a brilliant politician. Because making Wes Clark demean McCain’s military record and coming out the next day proclaiming that nobody’s patriotism should be questioned, is nothing less than BRILLIANT!
With his poor record on patriotism (holding his balls when the national anthem is playing or refusal to wear the flag pin during Democratic primary), Obama kills two birds with one stone. He looks like a good guy defending McCain’s patriotism (not that any sane person would question it) and he makes everyone who raises the issue of Obama’s patriotism look bad and unfair.
Well, Senator, we still have the pictures, don’t we?
So, Obama is trying to make the patriotism issue taboo. Why don't we make taboo EVERY issue on which Obama is loosing?
