Why doesnt Obama wear the flag lapel pin?

i guess every solider in every branch have false patriotism since they have flags on their shoulders well atleast thats how i took what obama sayed abot what wearing a flag means

Go to a baseball game and see how many people don't put their hands over their hearts during the national anthem. Who gives a ****? Because you don't wear your patriotism on your sleeve doesn't mean you're not a patriot. Instead of spending money on patriotic clothes and hats and yellow ribbon car magnets, spend that money making a donation to your troops overseas.

I think for a lot of people that I have talked with...by the fact that Obama will not recognize the American flag nor wear a flag pin, they truly have reservations about his allegiance to this country.

I hear more and more people say that the flag symbolizes this country and that people have died to ensure we have basic freedoms.

Why he won't? I don't have a clue!! I think he wears a wedding ring...

I think this is really one of many things they question about Obama!

On WW2, Hitler's German soldiers wore pins or belt buckles inscribed with: "Gott mit uns" (God is with us). That didn't stopped them from killing unarmed children, women and men.

A pin doesn't mean anything, if you don't act patriotic. Many traitors have been arrested still wearing their US armed forces uniform and claming "I love america" ; Millions of US citizens don't wear any kind of pin so what's next? Force them to wear it like Germans forced Jews to wear the David's Star?

That is my answer to your question.I agree with fdm 215, what's the big deal? maybe he just doesn't like wearing flags in his lapel, he's certainly entitled to his own fashion sense.Their are so many false rumors about Obama just because he's doing something the world thought they would never see, he will be our next president and some people just can't or won't accept it.

"You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin," Obama said. "Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest.

"Instead," he said, "I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism."

Why does he not put his hand over his heart when they play the National Anthem, the other candidates did.

Because if he did his pastor would lay him across his knees, pull down his shorts and spank him for selling out to that damnable nation of Americans.

Maybe his anti-American pastor told him not to, and Obama listens to every word of pastard Jeremiahhh?

I don't care is he wears the pin, or his pastor. I'm still voting for him.

Latina for Obama
