Obama Orders Army NOT To Fly U.S. Flag in Haiti

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....

Obama simply HATES the U.S.A. The man is a traitor in his heart.

[boomop1]

He is a clown ass.

[William of Barsoom]

He has dishonored our hard-working relief troops.

He has dishonored himself.

He has dishonored the office he holds.

He has dishonored The United States of American.

“There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of
Pharaoh — get first all the people’s money, then their lands, and then make them and
their children servants forever. It will be said that we do not propose to establish kings. I
know it. But there is a natural inclination in mankind to kingly government. It sometimes
relieves them from aristocratic domination. They had rather have one tyrant than 500. It
gives more the appearance of equality among citizens, and that they like. I am
apprehensive — therefore — perhaps too apprehensive — that the government of these
States may in future times end in a monarchy [not called a monarchy but an executive
with monarchial powers]. But this catastrophe, I think, may long be delayed, if in our
proposed system we do not sow the seeds of contention, faction and tumult, by making
our posts of honor places of profit. If we do, I fear that, though we employ at first a
number and not a single person, the number will in time be set aside, it will only nourish
the fetus of a king (as the honorable gentleman from Virginia very aptly expressed it),
and a king will the sooner be set over us.”

-- Benjamin Franklin

“Western thinking has become conservative:
the world situation should stay as it is at any cost;
there should be no changes. ....
The communist regime in the East could stand and grow due to the enthusiastic support
from an enormous number of Western intellectuals who felt a kinship and refused to see
communism's crimes. And when they no longer could do so, they tried to justify them. In
our Eastern countries, communism has suffered a complete ideological defeat; it is zero
and less than zero. But Western intellectuals still look at it with interest and with
empathy, and this is precisely what makes it so immensely difficult for the West to
withstand the East.”

Personally, that’s one order I might have to pretend that I never got! Damn him and all around him! POS!

[Blue Turtle]

It most likely goes well with the booty she hauled off from the White House.

[RC one]

Oh, it sends the wrong message? What message might that be, that we’re over there busting our a55es and budgets trying to help them?

[Mr. Mojo]

[Hussein Obama] says that it will "send the wrong message."

The message that America is the greatest force for good in the world. Can't have that, can we Hussein?

[Howie66]

Barack Hussein Obama....the Terrorists Bestest Buddy.

His departure from OUR White House cannot come soon enough to suit me.

[George Varnum]

I DARE someone, as soon as they compliantly strike the Stars and Stripes, to hoist the STARS and BARS of Old Dixie in their place!

What kind of message do you suppose that would send to the Obama Syndicate? The NAACP? The “international community”?

Might take a few minds off of “health care” don’t ya think?

What are they supposd to fly off of the pole? A white flag of surrender for cripe’s sake? The Commanders best skivvies?

Gimmie a break!!!

[Blue Turtle]

Is this on Drudge yet? Should be TOP HEADLINE !!!!

[Fiddlstix]

How much more of this crap are real Americans going to take from 0B0Z0???

[Blue Turtle]

....and we are ONLY in year 2.

[fso301]

Every cloud has it’s silver lining. As the largest distributor of free things in Haiti, it’s best that we keep a low profile in order to not encourage the locals to pile into boats and set sail to Florida.

[dforest]

Bet the commie will hang one of his ugly O flags instead.

[magslinger]

Obama, you Mohammedan (remainder of post redacted by poster to preserve posting privileges)

[444Flyer]

He hates the American Flag and all that it stands for. He ignores the fact that freedom loving men have fought and died for us under its banner. He is shamed by its history.

But, I'm sure he'd gladly fly the flag of the U.N. if he could get away with it.

[Leg Olam]

That stinking, lying crap weasel is living proof that thoughts can’t kill.

[maddog55]

If he won’t allow them to fly the US Flag then they should pack up and leave. Buck Ofama.
