Am I imagining things, or was it Mitt Romney who was the holy potentate of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics who issued the directive that the American flag would not be displayed in the games, then later rescinded the order after being bombarded with protest? Lest we forget.

Do you have a link for that?

I have never heard that before.

Are you sure you are not mistakenly referring to this:

Recovered from the WTC building’s ruins after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, the flag’s presence at the ceremony caused controversy between the American and International Olympic committees. The tattered flag was carried into the 19th Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony at Rice-Eccles stadium here Feb. 8 by eight athletes, escorted by New York City firefighters and Port Authority police.

Romney fought FOR the flag and the flag won.
