Obama Orders Army NOT To Fly U.S. Flag in Haiti
Publius Forum ^ | 03/16/10 | Warner Todd Huston

It's bad enough that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is giving short shrift to American manufacturers and our economy by ordering extravagant new crystal stemware from Sweden to make the crystal cabinets in America's embassies sparkle impressively, but now we learn that Barack Obama has told the U.S. relief forces in Haiti not to fly the U.S. flag over its own military compounds. He says that it will "send the wrong message."

Never mind that all the other nations have their flags proudly flying above their military relief installations in Haiti. Even Croatia has its coat of arms flying outside its base. Yet not the U.S. Army. No U.S. flag flies anywhere despite that we are far and away the largest force and have supplied the most relief supplies and money to the earthquake recovery effort.

According to USAID, as of January 19, 2010 the U.S. had spent $130,864,571 on aid to the Haitian people to help them recover from the devastating earthquake. By Jan. 25 that number had already increased to $179,883,065. It is only going up from there....

Did you notice the “pajama like” uniforms of the US Olympic team? No real pronounced red, white, and blue? I guess they just don’t like us to be proud of our country! We all need to keep after these idiots. Maybe Barak should move back to Kenya or Indonesia, and Hillary can go to Sweden where her healthcare is free!

“Send the wrong message”?

“SEND THE WRONG MESSAGE”?

What? That our troops are AMERICANS?

This POS is doing all he can to push the citizenry to the edge of tolerance.

Do they have to remove the American Flag patches from their uniforms as well?

What is the “wrong message”?

When it comes to even the simplest of things, Obama can’t seem to get it right.

If the Stars and Stripes is so upsetting to the Haitians. How about we pull up stakes and leave then.

My opinion is the only person our flag bothers is the idiot in Chief.

The Haitians are damned glad for the help.
