WATERLOO, Iowa — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has stopped wearing the American flag lapel pin that has become a common symbol of patriotism since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. ... "I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest," he said in the interview. "Instead, I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testament to my patriotism."

Was he gitting too close to Hillary in the polls? Fearful for his life or something? And to think that there are those that will applaud his move. Disgusting.

Dopey move considering he’s falling behind Hillary.
To: backpacker_c
So, he's making a conscious decision to stop wearing a pin bearing this country's flag on it - and he is saying that he has plans to make this country great: in other words, America isn't great and it needs Barack Obama to achieve greatness.
Or put more simply, he believes that instead of Obama wearing an America pin, America should be wearing an Obama pin.

"Instead, I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testament to my patriotism." Barack Ubama, you are far more than just a POTUS contender.
YOU are anti-American.
Be gone and take Hitlery with you!

What a scumbag! Wonder what will he replace it with? Perhaps a pin with a crescent moon on it?
To: NonValueAdded
His excuse is lame.
He needs to make a play for the “progressives” and their reflexive anti-American sympathies.

Because, lord knows, a person is only as patriotic as the flag pin he wears. Wearing one’s patriotism on their lapel, I guess.

His name tells me to whom he is loyal and it has nothing to do with the US.

Obviously, the focus group polls showed the pin did not score well with those in their leftist base. They hate our flag.

Star and crescent lapel pin would be appropriate for Hussein.
