The flag is not a fashion accessory. It is, as you say so well, something that is (or anyway should be) worn close to our hearts. ^:)^ Right you are, ST. The flag is not a fashion accessory.

So the Obama style of politics is to pretend to be all things to all people, not to be honest with them about what you are and what you believe. Yeah, that's <em>really</em> a new type of politics, isn't it? :-w Sounds more and more like Jeremiah Wright has him measured accurately - just another politician.

When he’s in front of a red-state, veteran-friendly audience like he had in West Virginia, he wears the lapel pin. Probably to see if he can fool the bitter, gun-totin’, church-clinging rubes into voting for him.

But when he’s in Berkeley, or San Francisco, or hanging out with his friend Bill Ayers, there’s no flag pin.

Sounds more and more like Jeremiah Wright has him measured accurately – just another politician.
