“Took him 5 days.”
******************************************
Well, he probably just now found out that the flag at half-mast order hadn’t been issued by reading the newspapers. And he is outraged...outraged and angry, I tell you.

That’s different. Whitney was the right color. The murdered servicemen were not.

Love how they report it as ho hum, nothing to see here. No mention that he was forced to do it. And that he waited 5 days. But the drive readers on Google/Yahoo/Facebook will see the headline and think, oh what a great guy.

I am sorry I just don’t believe that Whitney Houston deserved a military honor. Did she serve anyone besides herself?

I think, just like the governors, they were waiting expectantly for the POTUS to order it. When it became clear once again that the POTUS is a floating TURD, the governors and Boehner ordered it.

Truth be told, these liberals, socialists and communists in this country knew that Planned Parenthood was selling “BABY PARTS” next door to the ABORTION MILLS. Yep, the well known open “SECRET” that these “CHOP SHOPS” were next door to the abortion mills. It wasn’t until this organization against abortion that this “OPEN SECRET” was exposed. Now, the whole of the the liberals, socialists and communists are on this “DENYING” everything. But when their denials became hollow, they are now saying that it was to expand the medical field.

Leading “from behind” is his
motto.

Or is it “leading with his behind”?

actually I wonder if he got a note from the VFW uninviting him if he didn’t ...

They don’t have to invite the POTUS to speak...its just done in respect of the CinC and because presidents all used to be...veterans...

What damage is done? The only people who are aware of this are people who don’t like the dictator. The dictator’s minions don’t care and, even if they did, they won’t hear about it. They only watch the dictator approved media.

How long did it take “Obie from Nairobi” to lower the flags
when Whitney Houston died of an overdose?

It never happened. It was only done in New Jersey where she came from.

It took him 5 days to lower the flag but it only took him until dark to display the White Hut in rainbow colors after the Supreme Court decided to piss on the Constitution, the Bible and Holy Matrimony?

Yeah, Like anybody believes he cares. To him the flag is simply another prop to use for his own sinister purposes.
