Flag Flap Behind Him, Obama Pins Old Glory to Lapel
done
Barack Obama received a special gift from a disabled Vietnam veteran at a forum for veterans in Washington, PA — and wasted no time in putting it to good use.
Philip Fiumara, an activist for disabled vets in Pennsylvania, spoke to Obama as he made his way to the podium here — and handed him an American Flag pin for his lapel.
Obama was criticized last year in Iowa for failing to wear a pin. The issue was the talk of cable news, as pundits questioned whether the Illinois Senator was truly patriotic.
At the time, Obama said patriotism was more than just a pin. “I’m less concerned about what you are wearing on your lapel than what’s in your heart,” he said. “You show your patriotism by how you treat your fellow Americans, especially those ones who served.”
Today, Obama thanked Fiumara from the podium before pinning the flag on the left lapel of his jacket, directly over his heart. “I appreciate your service,” he said. “Thank you so much. It means a lot coming from you, and we are very grateful to you.”
“Tell all the disabled veterans who are not here today that we are going to be fighting for them every inch of the way.”

Obama has already insulted enough people this week.. had he not pinned that flag on his lapel would of been a bigger issue than the “bitter”issue..but him putting it on now is an after fact doesn’t matter..he showed his true self when he originally wouldn’t wear it…
As if anyone believes that he is doing this for patriotism, seriously.
After already insulting so many this week had he not pinned the flag on his lapel he would of create his own demise..but he has already shown his true self so it doesn’t change anything..but at least he was polite to the veteran whom we owe so much
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……..just how convienant is that? What a proverbial political, cheap, used car salesman.
My God you people are all mindless puppets.
Who the heck CARES about a stupid lapel pin? WHY don’t you get real??
The REAL test will be how long he continues to wear a flag pin. If he doen’t continue to wear it we’ll know that it is just another photo-op by another phony politician. “Tell all the disabled veterans who are not here today that we are going to be fighting for them every inch of the way.”
WEAR the pin, Senator, as a daily reminder of your responsibilities not only to the disabled veterans but to ALL AMERICANs!

Hey “Trollfighter”…you homo, if Obama didn’t catch so much heat from people when he refused to wear the flag on his lapel, then common sense dictates that this rather small issue is more important than you believe it to be in your own, little socialist mind and this is why your black, racist candidate decided to put it on his sports jacket now…. But, obviously, since you are a liberal, you have spent so much time “looking for a tree that you missed the proverbial forest”…..as most liberal/socialists quite often do.
Wow, talk about pandering
Pay close attention to all of the recent Obama video clips and photos.
He is ALWAYS draped by the American flag displayed behind him.
Now add a lapel pin…..
And what do you have?
Obama-maniacs believing Obama is now proud to be an American!
Or, Obama will do anything to get a vote! Including patronizing a symbol of FREEDOM.
Publicity stunt to change direction.
Obama was a guest a rezkos party for auchi in 2004. Plain old lied about it.
Just like Ollie North said. This guy is a PHONEY.
Finally…a moment to warm the veterans hearts.
Let’s see if he has actually learned enough– to not place his hands over his crotch during flag ceremonies and the national anthem.
He’ll we may actually be able to turn him into perhaps a basic military trainee–but I don’t know if he’s going to be ready for Commander-In-Chief for a while.
It appears he will say anything and do things he does not believe in, in order to win the nomination.
Next thing you know Obama will be out shooting guns. Church may be out of the question though. I wonder if Obama will speak at NAACP?
Staged.
No matter how you frame it. He only put it on for poltical purposes.
Had you given him a Confederate flag(not the battle flag) pin and distracted him just enough to not look really close at it..he’d have put that on.
Obama has divided America with bitterness. He willnever beat McCain beacuse true Hillary supporters will never vote for a Anti American, racist to be president
TRUTH BE KNOWN….
Yeah he’ll take him two six shooters and go duck hunting…you know he has to copy everything Hillary says.
Except he’s so “out of touch” he doesn’t know you don’t hunt ducks with a six shooter. ROFL
Well it took him long enough…Wonder how long he wears it. At this point who cares. I hear the people of PA are getting really sick of his ADS…they did in Ohio to…
It is just wrong that he has had to be shamed into wearing a little flag pin or actually pledging to OUR flag….do we need to remind him that it is HIS flag too….even though his church says Goddam America…..We love it and he should too!
That`s like giving up smoking only after the doctor gives you a month to live. To little to late.
he only put that pin on , so it wouldnt look unpatriotic,, TO FRIGGIN LATE !!!
LOL…Obama must be kidding. I’d almost be willing to bet this was staged.
Geeeeeeeez–what has got everybodies panties in a bunch? Don’t mind me, I never read the thread. Im just passing through looking for my freind, american conservative. He ditched me awhile ago. How rude. GOTTA RUN

……………………………………………….
Obama views it important enough NOT to wear it (till now).
You can’t have it both ways.
How much did he pay that guy to hand him that pin?
probably was thinkin,,, man,,I’m losin votes !!!!!!! QUICK,,SOME BODY HAND ME A PIN WITH A FLAG ON IT!!!!!!!!
C-H-A-N-G-E
HOPE
YES WE CAN
JUST WORDS
“As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,”
Obama said. “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a
symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know,
the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial
and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.’ If that were
our anthem, then I might salute it.”
RC MO, well said! I was thinking the same exact thing. Little too little…little too late….
From Dreams Of My Father;
“I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds,” he wrote in
“Dreams.” “One of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were
courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were
relieved — such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn’t
seem angry all the time.”
FOX moderators are starting to suck more than CNN’S.
B.O. ,you are so thin skinned,,everybody can see right through you!!!!
even if you shove an american flag up your ass you still will not be a “patriot”… you’re just a liar and a hypocrit…
I’m certain the next step is flag ties and undergarments and he sleeps with an uncle sam doll….
man, this guy thinks we are all so dam stupid to buy this bull….
now, have you seen the latest flag picture… it’s how many american flags can you place on the stage- way more than even the ACTUAL president has behind him….
NEVER, EVER, OBAMA- NEVER!!!!
now the pin is officially a prop for obama just like the white folks are for his wife. this man is shameless; but we know better.
Barbara T Long Beach, Right to the point. Good post..
Did it ever occur to any of you that he was actually touched by receiving the pin from the disabled veteran and proud to wear it? You people really ARE bitter.

Barbara T…….that’s a great one. My stomach hurts from laughing so hard. keep up the good work.
OMG,,, it’s gettin so bad with b.o. now!!!!!!! the pope had to show up. !!!!!!
This is a real insult to the flag….for someone who casted the flag aside as one would do an old smelly shoe is has FOR POLITICAL IN YOUR FACE decide to now apply the flag to his lapel…how shameful…a real slight to the flag. If I was the flag I sure would not have desired to be there, I would now be offended by the raw manipulation of voters. I think the voters will see through this appalling denigration of the flag for political purpose.
April 15, 2008 - A new controversy is threatening the very existence of this planet. Reacting to a question, Senator Obama said that “during times terrible climate changes people get bitter and its not surprising then they cling to antipathy to extra-terrestrials and aliens to express their frustrations”. But Senator Clinton, without realizing the consequences, was quick to point out that senator Obama is out of touch and does not understand that hating and blaming extra-terrestrial aliens is part of our long held traditions and in fact her father taught her all the slur words for Martians. This response has now been endorsed by all the media and the whole republican party. The radio waves were filled with how people hate Martians and how they are proud of it. The radio waves reached Mars on April 15, 2008 3:00 AM.
The Martians are mobilizing to attack earth at any time. Senator McCain asked to mobilize and send in troops to occupy Venus. When reminded that it was Mars not Venus that is attacking McCain responded “So what? If Bush can go to Iraq I can go to Venus and stay there for 100 light years”. Senator Clinton responded that “Obama is not a fighter, I’m and I will fight to the end with Martians.” Meanwhile the people elected Obama to be POTUS and he immediately authorized two NASA space missions…..
April 15, 2108 - Scientists released pictures showing the war Veteran McCain still barbecuing on Venus. In other news, Hillary Clinton is still the reigning MWE (Martian Wrestling Entertainment) Heavyweight Champion for the 100th consecutive time. Also Martians have extended the diplomatic agreement with Earth for another 500 years.
My my wasn’t this convenient, when he is slipping more in and more in the polls. It will be interesting to see if the pin remains on his suits until after the PA primary. He is the biggest jerk. We have all heard people say “they would walk on their on grandma to get to the top” and he did. His wife and he are the biggest anti-American jerks out there. I would sooner have Jerry Springer in the White House that this jerk.
My husband is in the Kansas National Guard. He went to Iraq 2004-05. He is going back this fall. We have 6 children, who were ages 2 through 17. The 12 months he was in Baghdad, I would get emails from people (some were family!) letting me know they were wearing their flag pins, flying their US flags or wearing their red shirts on Fridays in support of our troops. NONE of those people sent care packages to my husband or any troop. NONE of those people (who lived close by) ever offered to help me and/or my children when we needed it (getting to and from school or school events, fixing broken pipes, helping with a broken-down car, etc.). NONE of them called to see how we were doing emotionally, spiritually or monetarily. I received more help from strangers when they found out my husband was serving! Wearing a lapel pin means NOTHING if you can’t back it up with actions. This false “patriotism” based on what accessory you wear is nothing but style over substance.
Phew. Ok. I’m better now - thanks.

AMAZING NEW ARTICLE ON OBAMA - SHOWS HE TRULY IS A RADICLE.
IF CBS IS PRINTING OBAMA STUFF, YOU KNOW OBAMA IS READY TO IMPLODE.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/11/opinion/main4009369.shtml
He is such a phony. He is clearly only doing so because he wants to get passed the bitter controversy and he did not want to insult the veteran to his face. We have his true thoughts on video tape. I don’t respect or tolerate a man who in the past has refused to wear a flag pin - and this man expects to become our President of the United States. I am not the hugest patriot, but I do have enough courtesy, respect, and quite honestly, common sense, that if I’m running for the highest office in all the land, I’d wear a flag pin.
Such cynicism in the blogs. Fortunately, it didn’t look set-up to me at all. He said earlier that he didn’t believe one had to wear a pin to be patriotic. How many of you wear a lapel flag pin? If you don’t have a flag lapel pin, does that mean you are not patriotic?
I was impressed by how important he made that gentleman feel by his kindness toward him. That was the message I got from the article.
By the way, when I checked the polls an hour ago, Obama was not falling behind. He was gaining. And he is back on the stump with his message of hope. Thank goodness, we can move forward.
I am not Democrat, but I find the competition interesting to follow.
Vic Who Is-Sane. - Creative writing - I like the imagination!
Oh, how nice..suddenly deciding to wear a flag pin after going on about not wearing one is even worse. There were plenty of veterans before when he wasn’t wearing one, he didn’t honor them. Now at this point in his campaign he puts one on, how convenient this takes place now.
Earlier Obama had said that he didn’t salute the flag or wear the pin because he “didn’t want to take sides.: He continued that there are many people in the world to whom the flag is the sign of oppression and he doesn’t salute during the national anthem because he dosn’t like the words which are too war-like with bombs bursting in air and such.
If you are running for president of the United States you had better “take sides” with the United States of America first and foremost in all situations and in all places or let someone else take the presidency who will.
I’m sure he has alienated some of his base today like my brother-in-law of like mind who will not salute the flag either. He two is a Marxist like Obama and just waiting for the downfall of our great nation.
God Bless America and protect us from an Obama Presidency!
How convienent, hmmm I guess that isn’t considered a silly ploy to get votes…And he says Hillary issue over “Bitter” remarks is silly, this takes the cake.
Obama is the anti-christ.
I will never vote for him
It appears that you all don’t like Obama - not clear who you are for - a lying woman whose husband is going to have a lot of time to spend with ?? in the White House or a well respected
old man who is really out of touch with today’s problems. Of course, he only admitted to not
being into economics - but that’s not America’s problem now. Right????? I truly hope you all
will not be so harsh on Obama. Why would he take a $12,000 per yr job, after an education at
Harvard. if he didn’t really care for people?
Please print this. I have sent it twice and it isn’t getting through.
My husband is in the Kansas National Guard. He went to Iraq 2004-05. He is going back this fall. We have 6 children, who were ages 2 through 17.

there are 38 Responses blogs out there and I’ll bet not one of you wear a flag pin to work doesn’t that make you anti-american???
Are you people posting here for real? Talk about cynical.
I am truly disgusted with all this.

Obama is so faked !
How convienent Obama, how fake, how silly… You call Hillary silly and you do this! SO fake, so much for change in politics, just Obamalies keep growing.
Hip-hop star SNOOP DOGG has launched a scathing attack on U.S. presidential hopeful BARACK OBAMA - accusing him of gleaning support from a race hate group.
The rapper, real name Calvin Broadus Jr., insists the Democratic candidate has received funding from historically anti-black organisation the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
He says, “The KKK gave Obama money. They was (sic) one of his biggest supporters… Why wouldn’t they be? The media won’t tell you that. They don’t want you to know that. They just want you to know that this n**ger befriended this other n**ger who be (sic) threatening your values.
“But we all know all presidents lie to get into f**king office. That’s they (sic) job.” But Dogg insists Obama will still emerge victorious in the October (08) elections.
He adds, “In America’s eyes, that muthaf**ker’s gonna be president ‘cos (John) McCain can’t f**k with him. Hillary (Clinton) can’t f**k with him. He’s winning over
He did say he would do anything for a vote.
He flatly refused to wear one before, and never did.
Since he was told he was out of touch with the people, he probably figured he better. Lets watch to see if he ever wears it again.
“Earlier Obama had said that he didn’t salute the flag or wear the pin because he “didn’t want to take sides.: He continued that there are many people in the world to whom the flag is the sign of oppression and he doesn’t salute during the national anthem because he dosn’t like the words which are too war-like with bombs bursting in air and such.”
LOL he wants to be the Commander and Chief of the armed forces.
With a comment like that, we can kiss our asses goodbye.
RE: Comment by Paul
I agree with you, but then WE aren’t running for President of the United States of America…are we? Obama is not qualified to be our next President! He needs to find another country to preach his socialist agenda…maybe Cuba or Venezuela?
OMG……. YOU FOLKS ARE SICK…… DO YOU REALIZE YOU ARE HERE BASHING THE GUY FOR PUTTING ON A PIN. GIVEN TO HIM BY A VETERAN………
LET THE SILLY SEASON CONTINUE!!!!
JUST A QUESTION…. WOULD YOU ALL GET BEHIND BARACK OBAMA IF FOR SOME FREAK ACCIDENT HE BECOMES PRESIDENT?????
IF NOT do you consider yourself a patriot???
Smoothest Flip-Flop ever. He couldn’t have planned it better. Or did he? Nice move … he needed a change from ‘Bitter’ remark and ‘damage control’ couldn’t find anyone to endorse Barack. Very nice move.
I have yet to see a lapel pin on McCain or Hillary……. hmmmmmm THOSE DARN UNPATRIOTIC LOSERS…..
I wonder if he will be singing God bless America soon? Maybe even put his hand on his heart as he stares towards Meca
He insults the great American Flag. He won’t wear or salute it, but when it serves his lying speech he will wear a flag pin or in the case of another lying speech will have eight beautiful American Flags standing behind him. This is just the same as if it spit on the flag. How did the vets feel when he spoke to them but wouldn’t wear the flag pin another time. I am sorry but he makes me sick!
Junot Wan, Are you supporting Bush right now?
You have the republicans going against the new GI bill that will help veterans with post-traumatic syndrome and schooling. I don’t find that patriotic when Bush, McCain are against the new bill. I’ve only heard Obama say he will look out for the troops and the veterans. Uneducated people out there not questioning most republicans but, questions Obama’s patriotism? That’s why veterans and soldiers are behind Obama.
Please stop being so self-righteous.

If you think that what Obama says doesn’t seem to add up to what he lives, then maybe this article from CBS will help you connect the dots.

AS the Vietnam vet pinned the flag pin on Obama, wouldn’t you have been surprised if he said..
For the first time in his adult life he’s proud to be an American.
I gusess this is the site where all of the Racist Haters meet, I’m a white American - I served my country by commiting 6 years to the US navy Submarine force. I served with pride, but I don’t wear a lapel pin….doe’s that mean that I’m unpatriotic???? How many of you Obama hating losers wear one everyday??? How many of you losers were going to vote for Obama anyways? In my opinion you are all just waiting on this issue and any other issue that pops up to use as a reason to come out and show your true racist feelings. You are racist and you just need another reason to show your hate. You all voted for bush in the last election and look at where the country is now… in a never ending no win in sight war , economic depression etc……so thank yourselves losers!!!!
JerryZ, Obama is promising everything to everyone now. How is he going to pay for all this. I think you are more apt to get sympathy and help from an Ex-military man who was a former POW than you are from this man who seems to have helping Africa as a main agenda. You are definitely on his priority list and by the time he raises taxes on corporations, they will have made plans to move to another country to do business. He will ruin the economy and with all people hurting for jobs who is going to help veterans out. They’ll be trying to feed their own kids.
RC MO.
YES HE is my commander in chief…. Im was the Marine Corps for 12 years and is now in the navy going on 9 years.
I just think we should stop all the negativity and rally behind WHOEVER get’s the nod in November… This doesn’t help us…. China is loving this…. and one day they will own us if we don’t unite and look at really going on.
It was at the Chicago home of Ayers and Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming “community organizer,” had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working “only to educate” — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers.
Barack Obama made a joint appearance with Bill Ayers in 1997 at a University of Chicago panel on the outrage of treating juvenile criminals as if they were, well, criminals. Obama apologists say, “So what? People appear with other people all the time.” Nice try. This panel was orchestrated by none other than Michelle Obama, then an Associate Dean of Student Services. Ayers didn’t happen to be there — he was invited by the Obamas to educate students on the question before the house: “Should a Child Ever Be Called a ‘Super Predator?’”
The Ayers and Obama, meantime, kept up. There was yet another panel in 2002, Obama and Ayers waxing on “Intellectuals in Times of Crisis.” Dohrn, too, was asked to weigh in, on a panel.
addressing the question, “Why Do Ideas Matter
RASHID KHALIDI
In the interim, Ayers and Obama had teamed up for three years on the board of the Woods Fund, a Chicago charitable organization. Together, they voted to donate $75,000 of the largesse they controlled to the Arab American Action Network. The AAAN was co-founded by Rashid Khalidi, a longtime supporter of Palestinian “resistance”

You see Vonay’s comments don’t help us unite…… you should be embarrassed Vonay….. Question … what will you do if BARACK becomes president…. will you support him….. if you dont would you still consider yourself a patriot.

If Obama becomes president, I will be joining the republicans. Obama is a racist and anti-american,
and a liar. Would you consider him a patriot?
I WILL NOT SUPPORT A RACIST AND AN ANTI AMERICAN.
Have any of you noticed that every time his MISS QUOTES he tries to be patriotic . After the grandma thing then there was flags everywhere , now he is wearing a flag pin !!! What’s next?
Yes…. It takes a special person to do what he has done thus far. In case you havent noticed he is getting hit at ALL directions and he’s still standing…… If he get’s the dem nomination…. I am leaning toward him…. true he has some issues. but I am not sold on mccain … he has been doing a lot off flipflopping on issues… Im wondering if he is just pandering for approval of the GOP base voter.
So you think Barack Obama has duped the millions upon millions to vote for him and fund his campaign with hundreds of millions of dollars. do you think the 28 states he as won has for some reason been drinking the anti-american koolaid and decided to follow the obamabots as they are called??

*************************************
Seriously John, I do not mean this as an insult but do you think that because Barack H. Obama pinned his lapel with a flag that he is now a patriot.
Tell me what you want America, a Christian, I will declare that I am a true Christian even though as you all heard my church and minster preach hatred from the so called house of God…
Tell me what you want America, a patriot, then I will salute the flag and even wear a pin in my lapel, if that is what it takes me to get you votes and then win the White House,
Then I will tell you America where to go and if you denigrate any of my Muslim friends I will do as I have already warned you I would do in my book, “The Audacity to Hope”
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Hmmm only when it becomes a problem now he finaly decides to wear a lapel pin. Lets get rid of this fake. Fake christian, fake patriotism, whats next. It time to move on vote Hillary.
It is so obvious that some of you have a bias towards Mr. Obama by your uneducated, moronic comments.
You are right about one thing though…wearing a pin does not prove that you are patriotic and that, happily, is the whole point.
Patriotism isn’t about wearing a flag pin, having a flag in your front yard or flying a flag on your car. You show patriotism through actions that benefit your country and I doubt that wearing a pin fits that description.
Many of you run out and buy a flag to show your patriotism when events such as 9/11 happen but what did you really do? Did you decide to join the military to help fight terrorism? I doubt it.
Talking about being patriotic or wearing a pin doesn’t make you patriotic and Mr. Obama obviously recognized that some time ago.
BTW…how many of you wear a flag pin? Hey, don’t worry…I already know the answer. So, what is the point of expecting others to do what we ourselves don’t do? If wearing a pin shows your patriotism and you all obviously don’t wear one, what does it say about your patriotism?
You rats of Piper (media and political opponents) need to allowing others to think for you…to give you an opinion. You do that by be educated of the facts and being able to form your own opinion based on those facts, not told how or what to think.
Some of you actually probably enjoy being told how and what to think because you probably find it too taxing to do it for yourself.
It is one thing to be for or against either Clinton or Obama, but to form “your” opinion based on such trivial nonsense is just ridiculous.
The facts ma’am…just the facts. That is a line from the old Dragnet series. Of course, many of you haters would never let the facts get in the way would you?
Hillary is facts…not the good kind either. That is her whole game plan…to trick those who are uninformed and who don’t care to be informed into focusing on her negative attacks on Mr. Obama so that you can’t focus on the facts….NAFTA, Walmart, Lewinsky, Bill, Whitewater, the mysterious suicides of those connected to whitewater, her many “mispeaks”, the war, 10 million dollars over the past 9 years…I could go on and on.
You all should have learned a lesson from Ohio the last election when, even though they had the second highest unemployment rate in the country, they overwhelming voted for Bush based on his pushing “moral values”" Well, look where Ohio is now…still close to the top of the unemploymet list.
Noting changed then and nothing will change if Hillary is elected. He whole character and her so-called experi
