Actually, I’ve changed my mind. I don’t think that she was impressed, but ticked off, regarding the flag-folding. I went back and looked at it, and boy, I was mildly shocked myself that these gentlemen did such a poor job, considering the importance of the occasion with lots of tv coverage and that many dignitaries were present. I think Mrs. Obama noticed the poor job, too and wasn’t shy about letting Barry know it. Even so, she should have kept it to herself-—I’m sure the flag-folders were doing their best and were sincere. Not an occasion to judge others, especially those that wear the uniform. And she knows that cameras are focused on her.

That is just dumb! That flag was tattered and shredded. I think they did a wonderful job considering it’s condition. This is the same woman and man who gave the Queen of England and I-pod and knew nothing about protocol to not touch the Queen, so I hardly think that she has brushed up on the nuances of flag folding military style!
LOL!! Keep on trying, if you first theory doesn’t fit and gets blown out of the water, just try another.
