EMBARRASSMENT: GIANT AMERICAN FLAG LEFT LAYING ON THE GROUND BEFORE UPCOMING OBAMA EVENT

Today, President Obama is slated to travel to the University of Iowa to campaign in the crucial battleground state. The Obama campaign’s “advance team” has been making preparations for the president’s appearance since Monday, sources at the university tell TheBlaze.
But no one was prepared for the photo that was taken at the Obama speaking location just moments after the Democratic National Convention wrapped up in Charlotte, N.C.
The photo is of the preparation for the Presidents speech on the Quad of the historic Iowa campus.  In the near distance sits the stately old Iowa Capitol, and sitting on the ground, a gigantic American flag.

Characteristic of Barack; he does admit he has burned the flag before and continually shows he has no respect at all for it.

You morons. The flag is not supposed to touch the ground WHEN IT IS BEING FLOWN. There is no violation of the voodoo curse shown in this photo. - David Hearne

David, read your post again and explain how it makes any sense...at all....obviously it's not going to be touching the ground when it's being flown. But since elementary school we were taught not to let the flag touch the ground ever.

Think again David

§8. Respect for flag
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.

You all act like Obama went and put the flag on the ground himself. This flag was left on the ground by WORKERS setting things up. He nor the democratic party have anything to be embarrassed about.

And what makes ANYONE think that Obama and his cronies will change if re-elected. Look at what they've done and watch what they do. Ignore what they say. The Democratic party has become shameful liars and thieves. THINK before you vote! A second Obama term is dangerous for a free America!

All politicians are liars and thieves. I really believe we are damned either way. What we need in the Whitehouse is not another politician but a real person that lives in the real world and has a connection and insight into the people. It's hard to talk the talk if you have never walked the walk and neither side has.

Makes me sick.

I have lost several close buddies defending that flag. I think a lot of us have. My heart cries each and every day that this "President" is in office.

No respect intended to Obamie OR his followers, but people in general have lost all touch with respect. They don't remove thier hats when the national anthem is played nor do they place their hand over their heart. When WBOC was at the little league game in Penn. while the Salisbury team was getting ready to start, the two sportscasters were talking to the camers WHILE the national anthem was being played. TOTAL disrespect!
