Don’t know about Mandela, but he never ordered half mast for W. Houston.

Christy did because she was a NJ native. So, the flags were half mast only in NJ.

Valerie, what do you want me to do now?

Put the flags at half mast for the Chattanooga workplace violence incident.

I'm tired, Val. Just got back from pretending I care for veterans at the VFW convention.

Don't worry, Barry. I've already typed up the Executive Order for you. Just put your initials here.

Okay, then. Can I go take a nap after? I have a tee time early tomorrow.

We'll see.

I just did a search if he did lower it for Whitney Houston and got this result, regarding Whitney Houston and Shirley Temple Black

Claim: President Obama ignored the death of Shirley Temple Black but ordered flags flown at half-staff for Whitney Houston's passing.

That arrogant pos did order the flag to be lowered to half staff for that Communist MandelaUS flags lowered for Mandela, rare honor for a foreign leader

Looks like Zach posted Trump’s suggestion for flags, before 0bola (FINALLY) announced....

Trumps calls for flags to be at half mast for the Marines killed last week and gets HUGE standing ovation from this Sun City crowd.
9:50 AM - 21 Jul 2015


Trump defining the issues, once again!

Well, it’s actually too close to call. Obama may have beat him by a few minutes.

At Magnolia Hall this morning, Trump got a standing O when he said it was a disgrace the President had not ordered the flag to half mast (discussing Chattanoga). Walked out after the speech and during lunch...breaking news...

Too little, too late. You, Mr. President are a traitor to your country, if in fact you are a true citizen. Got that NSA...I wrote traitor.
