Obama Won't Wear A Flag Pin

People are complaining that Obama won't wear and American flag pin.

I called up a place that sells them because I want to know where they are made (I suspect in China). The company was very tight lipped and they would only say they are not made in the United States. When pressed she said "I don't know, various places".

Why would someone buy a suit which costs thousands of dollars and put a tacky Chinese flag pin on it? Can people be any more stupid than they are here?

When did he change his mind? I just saw him put one on on live tv.

He was asked by ABC why he doesn't wear the pin at the last debate with Clinton in PA. It was actually 45 minutes into it before they got to some real issues. Too bad he caved in on the pin... just another butt kisser like all the other politicians I guess. He only went bowling as a homage to the inbreds. Unfortunately he bowls like a girl.

* Note an audience member asked why he doesn't wear a flag pin but ABC picked all the questions.

Update:

They are indeed made in China. A group related to this blog

organized a protest at ABC headquarters where they gave US flag lapel
pins to ABC executives. The pins came in packages marked "made in
China".
