As of Monday morning, July 20, the U.S. flag continued to fly at the top of the pole above the White House and at the U.S. Capitol building, five days after a gunman launched attacks in which he murdered five U.S. military personnel at facilities in Chattanooga, Tenn.
President Barack Obama has yet to order the flags to half-staff following this tragedy. By contrast, in 2012, President Obama did order the flags flown at half-staff on the same day as the shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. […]
Federal law states: “By order of the President, the flag shall be flown at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States Government and the Governor of a state, territory, or possession, as a mark of respect to their memory. In the event of the death of other officials or foreign dignitaries, the flag is to be displayed at half-staff according to Presidential instructions or orders, or in accordance with recognized customs or practices not inconsistent with law.”

Getting mad at Obama about this is like getting mad at Ronald McDonald for not promoting Burger King.
Did you really expect him to?
FUBO!! America-hating Marxist/Islamofascist bastard!
Give up on him. We just need to say no to him and not pay anymore attention. He is a Marxist Muslim.

The flag of the murdering communist regime of Cuba waves proudly today in Washington DC.
Not surprising. After all, this is the rich boy from Honolulu who likes to do politics the Chicago way.
Barack Hussein Soetoro 0dinga 666 0bama’s job is to promote the caliphate ...
I have had way too much of this crud without the slightest bit of pushback from ANYONE!
Obama: “SCREW the American people! They’re NOT gonna tell ME what I should or shouldn’t do! -Dont they know that I am president? That means I’m at the top; I answer to NO one!”
Obama is a POS Muslim who is trying to destroy America. Why would he honor 5 dead infidels?
Didn’t he order half staff for Nelson Mandella as well?
It would be easy to ignore him if he wasn’t destroying the country.
I am not remotely surprised.
FReepers can predict his every move. The formula is simple. If it damages the country, he does it.
Exactly. Getting mad at him for not honoring Military Personnel is like getting mad at a buzzard for eating roadkill.
What the hell else did you expect?
