    Barack Hussein Obama will be known as the first ever American President in the history of the modern marvel - the television - to give a press conference without the presence of the American flag.

    Just days prior to Memorial Day and he appears before the American public with no American flag.

    Move this to the D&D if its worth it.

    I was more offended to realize that Barack doesn't drop the mic after every press conference speech. I heard it was a common thing to do in the rap community.

    It doesn't bother me at all. I think worshiping symbols is one of the most r****ded forms of the r****ded concept called patriotism.

    it's weird, but of a piece with his whole embarrassed by his country shtick.

    what's offensive is skipping arlington on memorial day to get in a couple rounds of golf.

    Yes, I am offended that you you misspelled "speech"

    C'mon at least spell correctly in the thread title.

    Hey, I think you missed something. What's that on his lapel? If you zoom in real tight, you will notice an American flag.

    They were there before he got to the podium, but aliens beemed them away.

    Beemed before the speach, get it?

    CONSPIRACY!!!

    "Who was the only President in the past 30 years to visit Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day every year of his presidency? It wasn’t Ronald Reagan, who spent one year in Normandy and at least one other at his ranch in California. It wasn’t George W. Bush, either, although he was also at Normandy the one year he missed. George H. W. Bush, a veteran himself, never attended ceremonies at Arlington, sending Dan Quayle in his stead. In fact, it was Bill Clinton who made eight Memorial Day appearances at Arlington National Cemetery."

    Interesting, Basso.

    ....er Obama is scheduled to pay homage to veterans at the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Cemetery in Chicago on Memorial Day.

    That isn't good enough for you?

    I thought that conservatives were too busy earning vast sums only to have them stolen away by evil democrats to redistribute to the lazy and shiftless...but apparently whatever work they do doesn't take up a whole lot of time, judging by the apparently endless amounts of time so many of them have to post anti Obama facebook statuses, send chain anti-Obama emails and scrutinize the Presidents backdrops and clothing for lack of American flags.

    NO AMERICAN FLAG LAPEL PEN= MUSLIMCOMMIETRATOR4LYFE
