Would you say "Oh, it's just a piece of cloth, it doesn't mean anything."
Really? Do you see the point yet? It DOES mean something. And the fact that it is MISSING means something as well, so it IS A BIG DEAL. It is intentional, it is a carefully crafted image that has a purpose that I am not comfortable with.

Barack Hussein Obama will be known as the first ever American President in the history of the modern marvel - the television - to give a press conference without the presence of the American flag.

Just a meaningless piece of cloth eh? Wonder how they feel?
Red: Hardiness , Valor, Strength, and Bravery
White: peace and honesty
Blue: Vigilance, Perseverance, Justice, Truth, and Loyalty
To some of us it means more than a cloth, to some of us it is the quintessential meaning of being an American. The men in my entire family (including me) all the way back to the beginning of this great country served under that flag. It's something that identifies us, unites us. And now for some reason I sense some of you are ashamed... and for me that's heartbreaking.
Desperation to squelch a thread that has to go to the lengths of mislabelling and misrepresenting is very telling.

Are you blind???
Have you not seen the numerous examples of other presidents having press conferences without a flag on the stage???
Please...do some research before you just believe everything you read.

He doesn't believe in the Flag or the constitution. Just look at him and his cronies salivating to file lawsuits against states that want to enforce the law of the lands.
See, this guy here proves my point EXACTLY. You never did this with any other president, constantly emphasising and bringing up their middle name, mentioning it all the time.
The ONLY reason you do it with Obama is because you want to demonise him, and point out to people every time you talk about Obama - "HEY! LOOK! OBAMA HAS A NAME THAT DOESN'T JIVE WITH MY IDEA OF WHAT AMERICANS SHOULD BE LIKE!! SO IT'S BAD!"
