No American Flag at Press Conference (vanity)

[TigerClaws]

I heard today this is the first time an American President hasn't had an American flag present at a White House Press Conference. True?

Perhaps he sees the flag as a divisive symbol.

He's skipping Memorial Day at Arlington as well.

Hussein would be thrilled if this country did not have a flag.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I noticed that, too. I felt a deep pit in my stomach!

[TheZMan]

He’s probably skipping Arlington because the people that’ll show up hate him.

Damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t, in that case.

I saw the pic...obviously no flags..

Cant say whether this is a first...

Would like to know for a liberal hammer I can use...

The PLO flag was at the cleaners.

[Ann Archy]

You’re RIGHT!! Just saw it again....NO AMERICAN FLAGS!! WEIRD....VERY WEIRD!!

[SatinDoll]

Obama probably believes the King of the World doesn’t need any flag!

[Falcon4.0]

The P.O.S. of the United States of America.

[MountainDad]

Are you surprised?

[EternalVigilance]

They'll have one up next time.

[dila813]

It is a trial balloon to ditching the flag.

[BunnySlippers]

I suspect he thinks a flag is “divisive” or “too patriotic”. Or perhaps “too American”.

[rarestia]

Obama’s primary concern is himself. The idea of flying the flag is offputting to him. The flag exemplifies the spirit of America; the will of the people; the strength of the people controlled the government. Obviously Hussein couldn’t care less about the people, and as such, he chose a gold curtain with Roman columns in an almost Caligulary fashion.

He’s preparing for something. He’s starting to show his true colors. The veneer is starting to peel, and we’re going to watch a metamorphosis as his power grows. Make no mistake, FRiends, this man is deadly, and he will eventually be after each of us for simply posting on these forums.

Thank You Obama voters.

We are being destroyed from the inside.

Bad enough we have a Usurper for pResident, worse we have those who elected him. In 2 years he will be gone, but those that elected him will still be here , destroying us from within.

[ExTexasRedhead]

PUKE of the USA. The sight of him makes one want to PUKE; listening to him makes one want to PUKE.

[mnehring]

Good catch. It looks like the teleprompter is his flag.

[buccaneer81]

and he will eventually be after each of us for simply posting on these forums.

Suits me. I'd rather die a patriot than a sheeple.

Why did he have a teleprompter for a press conference? Were the questions given to the Obama people in advance and the answers on the teleprompter for Obama to read?
