Photo from Colorado’s 9 News
Photoshopped by BHO enemies? Or genuine display of the chutzpah that we have come to associate with the annointed one?
From Newsbusters today comes a reminder of Old Glory etiquette.
When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be in the uppermost corner and to the flags own right, that is, to the observer’s left.
~~~The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal.
Obama camps comments? First, on the design…
In fact, Matt Chandler speaking on behalf of the Obama campaign states:
“…it is a stylized flag designed to blend the stars on Senator Obama’s shirt with the flag blowing in the wind.”
Then in true BHO Chicago style politics, the denial:
“The DNCC community credentials incorporate patriotic design elements. They do not depict an actual American flag.”
Uh… pick a story and stick to it, please. If it was to blend, then the photo of Obama and his shirt should have appeared in the top left of the badge.
As Newsbuster’s points out, why would a man who made such a tadooo over the wearing of a flagpin choose to be depicted wrapping himself in the flag?
And how about that “distress” signal? Intentional? Listening to Obama, it’s “no longer …. what it once was. uh, stammer… I don’t want that future for my childen”. Perhaps it is his not-so-subtle way of driving that point home. That this country is indeed in distress.
Would that be the America that has provided the opportunity for he and his wife to be where they are today? An opportunity that is not available exclusively to them?
The man should rejoice that the America today, for which he is asking for the most powerful position in the world, is *not* what it once was.
But one thing for sure. If America is not in distress now, I can’t say the same after he and his party seize control of the political reins.
Vietnam era Navy wife, indy/conservative, and an official California escapee now residing as a red speck in the sea of Oregon blue.
It does look weird even if it was him with him and just a blue shirt. It kind of looks like he is in zombie walking pose, but his arms are too small to get past his short sleaves. Also why the sour expression? It’s not a prison identification card.
Is this a bad photo or did they darken his skin?
he still can’t speak without the uhhs and ahhs. he sounds so “educated”, not. that looks like a distress signal to me, could it be distressing if he gets elected? i think so. the dems know no boundaries.
“It is flown upside down only as a distress signal.”
NU?! So, what’s NOT to be distressed about, with O’Bummer so popular?
It doesn’t surprise me one bit from this Commie wannabe. Does anyone really believe that he or his handlers have no idea whatsoever of the implications of an American flag flown upside down? They should exposed for the traitors they are, but don’t dare question their patriotism!!
