Did anyone else see the red dot visible on Romney's American Flag lapel pin? It was visible from every angle. Here's a screenshot:

Meanwhile, 0bummer's pin looked normal:

Was it perhaps the solder-point dent where the pin was affixed from the backside?

Was it an optical illusion, a flaw in the pin, or what? “It” was definitely there, but what is “it”?

Look at it in this morning’s FoxNews.com’s shot:

Looks like a ruby or something that might represent Massachusetts, Massachusetts Bay being one of the original colonies to declare independence.

Obummer won’t wear the American flag pin any other time except when he thinks it will get him votes. This is the traitor we have in office. I hope he gets defeated in a landslide election that shows the liberal biased media for what it is.

Uh? Interesting? I flipped through a few of the other videos...and sure enough it seems to be there?

On a night when looking absolutely the best & sharp, any distraction in appearance is not good.

Although I am thinking it may be some sort of SS camera, but why would they do something so obvious?

Got me stumped, too. If it was a flawed pin, they should have caught it prior to his appearance. If it’s a ruby or something to represent Mass, that should have been noted by his PR people. In all of the other shots pre-debate, I can’t find that red spot in any of his lapel pins. Just odd...

Romney’s was bigger and that spot in the middle was a FNORD.

In case you were wondering, the symbol on Romney’s flag lapel pin is the Secret Service star logo. It’s a gift from his USSS agents.

Here’s the answer, from The Blaze:

A Secret Service star, the pin given to him by an SS Agent.

Thank you. I was pretty sure it was nothing nefarious.

I first noticed the spot on a pin Sean Hannity was wearing.

I watched his show for 20mins afterward, but didn’t notice a spot. It was late, though...

It was a pin given to him by his secret service detail.

Did anyone notice that 0’s pin was very small when they showed a split screen of the 2 candidates?

Yeah. It was >2/3rds the size of Romneys.

I did notice that!

I thought it was a jewel though?

Any links what it was?
