He probably only did it as a second thought, to put on big a show after someone asked why it wasn't already done.

He probably had to clear it with Bill Ayers.
FUBO
Someone had to tell the honorless person to do it.
Texas already had em lowered in respect since the terrorist attacked Ft Hood troops.
(What took him so long?)
He was too busy celebrating what the terrorist did.
You have to understand, He RELATES to a terrorist.
***Someone had to tell the honorless person to do it.***
You betcha! Probably one of his numerous czars knows someone who knows someone who once overheard a conservative Republican say that service people should be honored. It just took a while for the word to get up the chain of command.
FUBO!
indeed!
how long were they lowered for Ted kennedy?
I'm convinced he is one of them, he's just using a different tactic.
Obama - “I will not wear THAT PIN (US Flag) on my chest.”
Folks did it without his say. FUBO!
I heard about this yesterday afternoon fwiw
Clinton was pretty good at it, but the One is much better.
He probably only did it as a second thought, to put on big a show after someone asked why it wasn't already done.
Maybe he want’s to give a “shout out” to his muzzie cells.
Day late and a dollar short.

Florida had them lowered the day it happened.
Which flag, American or Palestinian?
And I here that the George Bushes are there ... not just a drive-through. Even taking into consideration that they live in Texas, it’s worth noting.
Here=hear :-(
I’d bet my 401k on it. They understand the pain that has been inflicted. ODumbass could care less.
That was a "Shout Out" to Code Pink.....
....."See, the military is the last thing I think about."
This should have been done immediately. What a Putz!
Always remember, according to his own words “America is NOT a Christian nation!”
<sarcasm>
Hey, give the guy a break!
It was a tough choice for him
Hmmmm.......
Award a medal to the shooter....
Or.....
Flags at half staff.....
Tough choices, doncha know......
Such choices require time for thought....
That'd make him have a heavy heart, doncha know.....
</sarcasm>
This isn’t anything new for the POS.
He didn’t want to offend his fellow jihadi.
Muslims die for their God, Our GOD died for us.
And if he ordered them lowered immediately you’d be asking why he did it so quickly.
He could have done it with a “shout out”.

- - - - - - -
By The President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Our Nation’s thoughts and prayers are with the service members, civilians, and families affected by the tragic events at Fort Hood, Texas. The brave victims, who risked their lives to protect their fellow countrymen, serve as a constant source of strength and inspiration to
all Americans. We ask God to watch over the fallen, the wounded, and all those who are suffering at this difficult hour.As a mark of respect honoring the victims of the tragedy at Fort Hood, Texas, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, Tuesday, November 10, 2009. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.
BARACK OBAMA
sorry for the delay, just got to Shout out to my homies.
Day late and three trillion short.
Go out to Arlington and listen to the patriots rolling in their graves.
If there is anyone in the GOP with the gonads, they would be well advised to document this for the 2010 draining of the sewer and in 2012 when we kick these traitors out of our government.
Done — and documentented — along with his “shout out” irreverence...
Yep, I noticed it yesterday morning.
Too little, too late. He is not exactly a quick study in proper protocol is he?
Waiting for focus group results.
He had not gotten over the affects of the nose candy until then.
>>Muslims die for their God, Our GOD died for us.
That says it all.
“I’m convinced he is one of them, he’s just using a different tactic.”
Yes, you are right ... .
Inaction and wanting “peace” with terrorists ... is what terrorists want to - so they can take us over.
