He's campaigning in Charleston right now, and I can't help but notice he's wearing a flag pin on his lapel and has two huge American flags as his backdrop.

West Virginia has one of the highest percentages of veterans among the “57” states. Curiously enough, neither Senators Byrd, nor Rockefeller served in the Armed Forces, and neither did any of the three representatives. Obama probably won’t go over in the state, but, as they say in the industry, “promise them anything...” and then blame the other party if they don’t get whatever you promised ‘em. Works most of the time. Can’t blame BO for trying. I’m surprised he wasn’t carrying a musket!
Thanks.
That’s right up there with Hillary landing in Bosnia under sniper fire.
‘...I can’t believe in a country this size these three are what we end up with running for President!’
I keep saying the same.....with all the good,intelligent people in this great country, how in the world did we get stuck with 3 people who are essentially cut from the same cloth.....and, imho, that cloth is not of the highest quality.
Calm down, Michelle.
Everyone does this. The Greeks called it “Ethos.” Do you really believe that Hillary, someone who made 109 million dollars last year, really drinks shots at a dive bar? Does she often drive around in pickup trucks? Be fair, I might agree that Obama is elitist and panders, but you have to agree that Hillary does just as much, if not more.
Birds of a feather....

It's very entertaining. Chaotic, some would say.
In my pursuit to become a more mellow dude, I'll withhold the sarcastic response I wanted to give to your comment.
Yeah, every politician does it, but this case is a little different because:
1. Obamalama has been so vocal about not wearing the flag pin in the past.
2. Obamalama breaks out the flag for a state like West Virginia (read: white and working class).
Now, you leave my sexy girl Hillary alone.
P.S. Hillary didn't make $109 mill last year. Her and Bill made that over the course of eight years. Be fair!
He’s probably counted the stars on this pair of flags, and certainly by now has corrected his knowledge. He can now state we have, lets see, 2 times 50... 100 states.
You gotta play the race card with a lot more finesse than that, pilgrim.
I love it when it takes me a few seconds to get a joke...makes it seem more like a fine wine.
What a sad little dude. He's probably hearing those voices again.
Senator B. (whose middle name according to John McCain must NEVER be spoken) Obama DOES learn quickly. /s
Does the flag have a crescent on it ?
It’s just going to remind people of how much he hates America.
Me either.
