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

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.

Obama's friend, Marxist terrorist William Ayers likes to wipe his feet on the American flag

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 absence

It'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?

In a surprise move, Barack Obama explained that the has not previously been able to wear an American flag pin... since his lapel is usually occupied with a Dale Earnhardt memorial #3 pin.

The Democratic presidential hopeful said he generally stopped wearing a flag pin after the 2001 terrorist attacks because he felt it replaced "true patriotism" for some public officials.

By the way, this kind of reminds me of John Kerry's throwing his "ribbons/medals" over the fence in protest and then rediscovering them later on.

I’m surprised it wasn’t a Cuban flag pin.

He’s counting on the nanosecond attention span of the average voter.
