Speaking of flag pins, Obama’s been spotted wearing one (photo link here). No word on the star-count:
Barack Obama, who labeled discussion of whether he wears a flag pin in his lapel a false issue in a debate with Hillary Clinton, was wearing one Monday as he campaigned in West Virginia ahead of Tuesday’s primary vote there.
Obama made no reference to the pin, which could be clearly seen in television images and through telephoto lenses as he spoke in Charleston, W. Va., about veterans issue. There was no public comment from his campaign.
Monday morning, pollster and former Bill Clinton adviser Douglas Schoen wrote in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal that Obama needs to better define his values heading into the general election. “First, and obviously symbolically, he must start wearing the flag lapel pin,” Schoen wrote. “He simply cannot afford to raise doubts about his patriotism.”
Although Obama sometimes wears the pin, more often he doesn’t. And he’s long insisted on being a different kind of politician who doesn’t resort to gimmicks or give in to pressure to conform to the status quo.

Michelle, Obama is right: There really ARE 57 states.
In the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
Freudian slip much?
i thought it was obama that said “words matter” after the biden fiasco? now it’s excuses for being tired? that one was already used: by hillary: after the imaginary sniper incident.
the truly funny thing about all this is…if mcshamnesty had said anything remotely like “57″ the msm would be admitting him into a nursing home with senility as the diagnosis. billary? free pass. barry? free pass.
Are you actually, seriously, making an issue of whether Obama wears a lapel pin or not? Is that how you judge patriotism?
