WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, D-Ill., said he will no longer wear an American flag lapel pin because it has become a substitute for true patriotism since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The justice department, under this administration removed all flags and symbols of patriotism from their web site
What it used to be
Since Obama and Holder took office
He had the MSM run interference for him.
Even after all that's happened in the last 2 years to many in the media
Legitimate criticism of 0bama = Racism.
So was he saying that he wasn’t a true patriot?
Loser
Does anyone remember that phoney baloney staged event at one of his speeches where a “veteran” in a wheelchair rolled up and gave him a pin and he said he would start wearing it because of his service....a crock of sh**....happened after the big outcry over him not wearing the pin and making that stupid statement....he had to come up with a gimmick so it would look like he did it for the military....he was then a phoney....he is now a phoney....and on his last death on this earth he will remain a phoney.
Because the press didn't hammer this story for two or three weeks solid. If you want the traitorous libs to go away stop supporting the mainstream press. Canceling your local newspaper would be a good start.
He’s full of it, of course.
How soon after taking office did this happen?
from article:
..the redesigned website was launched without fanfare, but was noticed internally by several career lawyers, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of political reprisals."We were told that the media team and the senior leadership that signed off on the design thought that the patriotic shtick from the Ashcroft days was a bit much for an agency that isn't supposed to be political," says a DOJ lawyer, who inquired about the redesign. "It was a real effort not to laugh at that."
Justice Loses Its Stars and Stripes
Interesting. We now know, the DOJ was helping supply guns to Mexican cartels through ATF, the black logo is more representative of the department.
Then the “Seal of the President” on your podium is a substitute for being the real president. Take it off.
Same thing with any nameplates placed before you.
I take complete and total offense at your premise that Vladimir Putin doesn’t love and admire America.
That’s one ugly man.
Wearing a tiny American flag pin requires only the tiniest bit of patriotism snd Obama couldn’t evenuster that.
