Default Obama's Done

This particular image.....along with NOT wearing his American flag pin anymore......is the last nail in his coffin. This particular picture says a lot to a lot of people.

Hello Dear Hillary!!!

Yes JP. Us independents decide on who to vote for based on what jewelry a man wears.

They can play or prove timing..
If not that will pretty much knock him out.
IF it gets the airplay....

Obama has been out for a while anyway... so has Richardson and the other flamingos in the yard.

Its gonna be Hillary

Tons of people will vote... just so they can not vote for her.

Default JP, let's judge a book by its contents.

Is this the type of thing we are judging our potential leaders by? Wearing or not wearing a flag pin? Getting caught not holding your hand over your heart during some alleged playing of the national anthem?

I can put a flag pin in a dog turd, does that make it a viable candidate?

I think I stepped in nationalism.

I think he realizes he's done, so he might as well do all these things to ingratiate himself with the america-hating left.

This recalls a similar incident 40 years ago at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico. From wiki:

Quote:
In the 200 m medal award ceremony, two African-American athletes Tommie Smith (gold) and John Carlos (bronze) raised their black-gloved fists as a symbol of Black Power. As punishment, the International Olympic Committee banned them from the Olympic Games for life.
Actually, they did it specifically during the playing of the US national anthem.

Here's the photo:

Their careers were over.

Default What a boob!

He didn't get much attention for not wearing his flag pin because nobody cared so now he's trying this. He's got to do something like this to hide the fact that he has no substance. IMO, it just makes that fact more glaringly obvious.

I think you got that backwards. He's not wearing the flag pin, because the flag pin has no substance. That's the point.

Of course he's trying to get attention and "stick it to the Republicans". Of course he knows he can't win.

That's like, a no-brainer, right?

But that's still no reason not to sieze every opportunity to ridicule your opponent, right?

Unfortunately, he's kinda going about it the wrong way (I mean, if I wanted to ridicule someone, I wouldn't use the American Flag to do it), but at least he's not creating any overt new anti-American images, he's just "not wearing the flag".

I mean, if he chose to wear an upside-down flag or something, that would be an "overt new anti-American image", right?

But nah, he's being pretty decent about it, all things considered.

Default another fringe

no flag pin and now a picture of someone not having his hand over his heart.......stop the presses! This is BIG news.

Let me open my newspaper........no......can't find it anywhere. Let me turn on the TV....no......not there....How about Fox news........no not even on there.

Hmmmmm, imagine that.

This why you will lose the elction.

BTW, next time you go to an event look around while the national anthem is on - thousands of people with hats on, no hands on hearts, etc.

Maybe if Obama were to set up a shadow government and steal $150,000 in an illegal arms deal (get off on a technicality) then he can be called a hero????

Its the American Flag!.... what country does the idiot think he's running for President in?
..and don't give me that its meaningless garbage. If it was nobody would care and he wouldn't have made up that asinine excuse of his. Most Americans do not crap where they eat.

HE made it an issue..that he did speaks of why he was picked by the media as their Time cover alternative to Hillary blab subject.







If he's now into standing there during the pledge of allegiane/national anthem then he can go to hell
...and you are in lunatic land or just beyond belief sheltered if you think that sentiment is not the vast majorities
