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.

What a treasonous disgrace.
What fresh hell is this? This is so ridiculous.
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!

DITTO
“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.
US forces shouldn’t fly Obamao.
Obama Hates America and the Armed Forces.
PING
Or a Gadsden.
Do not go to that website URL listed in the picture!
Troll on board!
It just occurred to me....how about flying it just OUTSIDE the base? Then he can’t say jackshti!
Do they have to remove the American Flag patches from their uniforms as well?
What is the “wrong message”?
The list, ping
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.
