Can You Pick Out the Flag Gaffe on Obama‘s New ’Julia’ Site? We Did

The Obama campaign’s new “Life of Julia” tool has led to no shortage of mocking parodies of the faceless, fictional female guided through life by the president’s programs.

The American flag should be to the speakers right, not left as shown and should be higher showing prominence over any other flag on the stage. That's what I see at a glance and I may have missed something.

The United States Flag should always be displayed on it's own right as it faces out toward an audience or a street -etc. stage or floor level has no significance , although in the U.S. no flag should be flown higher at full or half staff than the National Ensign.
