Good thing there's nothing else in this country to be concerned about. And does anyone remember any concern when idiot son stood in front of flags?

CAPTURE THE FLAG.... The Washington Times published a 743-word story today about President Obama making public appearances in front of American flags.

Oh, say -- can you see? Look. It's President Obama, and he's surrounded by American flags.

They're on the dais in star-spangled glory. They're at the town-hall meeting and the news conference, in bold folds of red, white and blue. The White House has rediscovered -- or possibly reinvented -- the patriotic cachet of Old Glory as a perfect frame for the new president.

That's the same president who once would not wear an American flag pin. Things have changed.

Three months after the election, and conservative news outlets are still talking about flag pins. Seriously.

The article also offers keen insights from luminaries.

"Neo-Marxists recognize the power of Old Glory as they steadfastly pursue their agenda," said talk-radio host Michael Savage. "As Castro taught them, 'hasta la victoria siempre,' always towards victory. As the street agitators themselves know, 'by all means necessary.' To them, our flag is just a rag."

Let's pause to appreciate how truly ridiculous this is. A newspaper ran an article today about the President of the United States making public appearances with American flags. To bolster the "premise" that this development is newsworthy, the newspaper quotes a lunatic who suggested the president is a Communist.

About a year ago, John Solomon, formerly of the Washington Post, took over the Times as its executive editor. Solomon vowed to take the paper -- a project of cult-leader Sun Myung Moon -- in a more credible and serious direction.

It looks like Solomon has quite a ways to go.

3. Wait a minute...I thought Obama was a muslin?

:shrug:

Why would he have an America flag backdrop? It's not like he's the President or something.

Oh, wait another minute... :eyes:

4. My two year old grandson calls the American flag the Obama flag

He was really tuned into the inauguration since he worships Michelle Obama. When we raised our flag at home on inauguration day for the first time in many years, he said, "look. It's the Barack Obama flag."

of the radio host who went ballistic when Obama stood in front of a row of Ohio state flags during the campaign. The moron thought Obama made his own flag.
