He’s like that obnoxious kid that just threw a rock at another kid. You tell him to say, “I’m sorry” so he pops off with, “I’m sorry. Okay?” with a sarcastic tone.

I can hear him saying, “Fine. Lower the flag if that’ll make ‘em happy” and stomp off.

Dang, I hate him so much....

Sorry Obama, you’re a week, a Broadway Show and a couple of Golf Games too late.

The Traitorous Bastard should be, oh never mind.

The Donald shames Obama into lowering the flag!

It's a shame no Elected Republican dare call out Obama.

Thank you. I thought it was Obama who ordered the flag lowered for Whitney Houston. It was Christie.

Well, I did find this:

Armed Services chairman calls on Obama to lower flags

The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee is calling on President Obama to do the “right thing” and lower White House flags to honor victims of last week’s shooting in Tennessee.

“Today, Speaker Boehner has ordered the flags at the Capitol to be flown at half staff. He follows the Governors of Tennessee and other states who are doing the right thing to honor those casualties,” Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) said in a statement Tuesday.

“The President should follow suit and order flags flown at half staff across the country, and he should do so immediately."

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) tweeted Tuesday morning that he decided to lower U.S. Capitol flags to half-mast to recall the five service members killed at a shooting at two military facilities in Chattanooga.

President Obama is facing criticism from conservatives for not lowering the White House flags. Critics note that he did so for the 2012 shooting in a Connecticut elementary school, but has not yet decided to in this case.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters that he did not have “more information about the status of the flag over the White House” during Monday’s news briefing.

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), who served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Marine, joined that criticism in a statement his office released Tuesday. “Five service members were killed on American soil, and the idea that the Commander in Chief is so far unwilling to lower flags in their honor is unconscionable,” he said.

“The flag and all it represents is sacred to our military, and the President must know that lowering the flag is a signal of honor and respect. The President should make this call immediately.”

Now you can get un-tired. :)

Looks like you should have checked first before making accusations

LOL!

Too busy working and paying my bills to “Facebook”

Hoping when the SOLID RIGHT gets the power, “Facebook” will be annihilated.

One horrible thing to look forward to is that when this POS dies, they will drape a flag on his casket and all the flags will fly at half staff. Irony of ironies, when he dies the flags will be lowered for a PO
s that hates the very flag he lies under.

You're right, of course.

But like all criticism of Obama, it's not allowed in the MSM.

So, unless you've had time to listen to talk-radio or browse your favorite Conservative sites, one doesn't get a balanced report.
