\nObama on a US flag….. was there ever a Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter heck a US flag with Washington produced? Aside from the disgrace this is people are forgetting something. They need to ask a simple question and stop with the anger at those flying this flag. That question… WHO<\/strong> made the flag? What business had the arrogance to create this flag in the first place? Oh and you do know it was made in China, so it’s a double insult!<\/p>\n

Find out who designed it in the first place America and focus you anger there. You cannot blame demoncrats<\/strong> for being arrogant and insensitive, its in their nature. Focus your energy on those who enable them!

\nVeterans in Lake County, Fla., are incensed that local Democrats hoisted an American flag with President Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s image in place of the traditional stars over their headquarters. The veterans denounced the modified banner as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a disgrace,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d reports Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The veterans\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 complaints finally prompted the Democrats to remove the flag from its perch under a customary American flag on the flagpole outside party headquarters in Tavares, Fla.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s absolutely disrespectful,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Jim Bradford, 71-year-old veteran who served during the Bay of Pigs invasion. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s totally ridiculous. To put somebody\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s picture there, to me, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a disgrace to do that.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Bradford sent pictures of the flag to fellow veterans and friends, and he delivered a copy of the federal flag code to Nancy Hurlbert, chairwoman of the Lake County Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We read that to her, but she would not accept that,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Bradford said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The discussion finally got a little bit heated.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Hurlbert later removed the flag, which had been flying for several months without a complaint, and apologized for the incident, but didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t indicate whether she would fly it again.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What really upsets me is that the flag had apparently been flying for months and no one had done anything about it,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Bradford said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got no hard feelings toward [Hurlbert], but people will be driving by there to make sure it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go up again.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

~~~~~~ UPDATE!<\/strong> ~~~~~~<\/p>\n

Chalk one up for the vets the flag has been taken down!
