Sounds like a lapel flag is very important to him. Unless, of course, he happens to forget it on his other suit.

Obama takes wearing his flag pin vey seriesly.
—
Asked by The Associated Press why he was sporting the pin again, Obama said, “I haven’t been making such a big deal about it. Others have. Sometimes I wear it, sometimes I don’t. We were talking with a group of veterans yesterday. Over the last several weeks people have been handing me flag pins. I thought it was appropriate” for what “we’re talking about. I’ve just been leaving it on.”
Asked if he probably will wear the pin from now on, Obama said, “Sometimes it ends up being on another suit. If it ends up being on another suit, I might leave it one day, but it’s something that I’ve done before and I’ll certainly wear it again.”

Interesting how he waited until the Dem nomination was all but wrapped up before sporting the pin. Didn’t want to offend any of his supporters while the nomination was still up in the air.

More like:
Democrat Obama, looking pissed off that he has to wear a US flag on his jacket.
In all honesty, I was actually happy he WASN’T wearing the flag.

Obama sports flag pin again after long absenceIt's about damn time. Who could vote for a man for President who hasn't enough affection for his country that he can't be bothered to where a lapel pin?

Nothing like consistent, obsessive patriotism. /s
I'll bet if someone wrapped him in a American flag, he'd lose his cookies.

Re: 9
That one was hilarious...
I guess I'd also accept his show of patriotism if he stuck his small flag lapel pin into his forehead.
