Why can't Obama put an American Flag on his lapel?

Wow, the answerers who are the Obama supporters are certainly an illustrious group! Now, to your question: He's wearing one now because he's been criticized for not wearing one and he wants to get elected. This man will do anything to get elected. Trash his grandmother, pastor (he should have never sat under such racist teaching), switch sides on many issues back and forth so fast it'll make your head swing. But if you really listen to what he is saying, he really doesn't make any sense at all. It's just a lot of pandering to folks that have had a rough time of it and are looking for a hand out. But where is the money going to come from? The rich? Because they work harder? That's ridiculous. I'm all for helping the elderly, sick, and mentally ill; but able bodied people should earn it for themselves. Whether he wears the lapel pin or not, he's still gonna raise your taxes.

You obama sheeple are in for a rude awakening.

Are you aware of MARCH FOR RON PAUL this Saturday July 12th? The CASTRATED United States Media won't tell you. They didn't even report the Bilderberg meeting in June that took place right here on U.S. soil. Bilderberg are THE GLOBAL ELITE i.e. THE GLOBAL MAFIA

They choose your pres!

He has been wearing one lately, but only after enough people have criticized him for not wearing one. Now I think that he should have worn one from the get go, but the fact that he caved in and started wearing one is an example of how weak and spineless he is. If he didn't want to wear one he should have stood his ground, and not worn one regardless of the pressure that he felt from naysayers. Is this really the kind of sniveling weakling that we want to represent us against Al-Qaeda?

P.S. Change your avitar!

It's his choice. by not having one does not make him less of an American. It makes him his own man. Why does he have to wear a stupid pin to make you happy, what does it prove. If his not wearing it can get people like you so upset I'm glad that he doesn't

He has been.

Frankly, I never really cared about the pin itself. His remarks about wearing the pin, that it serves (at least in some cases) as a "substitute" for patriotism can be viewed as elitist. But then, he's not that good at extemporaneous speaking.

Only liars, thieves, hypocrites, and simpletons wear flag lapel pins.

Obama is none of those.

he can if he wants to but it's ridiculous symbolism. right up there with AIDS lapel ribbons.

cause he said he shouldnt have to wear it to show us that hes all 4 our country some crap like that! Personally I dont think hes for out country at all if hes president our country is screwed! Remember our country works under gods faith! One nation under god! Hes gonna change that too!

Where the hell have you been? He has been wearing one. He didn't want to but the media basically forced him to.

Also, google rules and regulations of the American Flag. You are never supposed to wear the image of the flag on your person.....no t-shirts, pins, hats...nothing. It's disrespectful. Yet, all these Obama bashers, wearing their American flag t-shirts call Obama unpatriotic. It cracks me up.

Not to mention, t-shirts with the flag on them are tacky looking.

You must do not watch the news, because after they made such a fuss about It he wears it now.

Gracie says he a Muslim, what every he is he is still a man and human.
