You forget to mention that he's a Muslim.

He's not a Muslim, and his religion is irrelevant.

This policy edict of his is utter crap, though.

The point was: who cares?

It's not relevant to anything of substance, it will have no effect on anything, and it's another equivalent of not liking the POTUS's choice of casual shirt for the weekend.

US Flag, casual shirt??????

Its the Union Flag actually...

Maybe Obama can recruit young liberals to fill the flagless armed services........oops, no that ain't gonna work.......

This is just another good reason for me to adore my President. There is no reason to fly the American flag in Haiti. We are there as humanitarians and should not seek recognition for what we are doing for those in need. If other countries want recognition for the aid they are supplying, that's their business, not ours.

The US flag should fly at any base the US military puts up.

Reading - it really is fundamental.

Empire is empty calories.

Display of flag != "empire"

:rolleyes:
