OMG Obama's not wearing his flag pin!

Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York, said she didn't know if it was a "serious issue" that Obama didn't wear a pin and added, "There are so many ways that Americans can show their patriotism." ...

Gov. Bill Richardson, who was wearing a flag pin at the time, what he thought of the matter. "Patriotism is what you do and I don't think anyone should — if you feel good about wearing it, wear it,” he said. “I wear it. It's perfectly good to wear it. I love this flag. I love this country. I wear it. But patriotism is about what you do, not what you say." ...

Obama told a KCRG-TV reporter this week that he has made a conscious decision not to wear the pin.

Osama Bin Laden also showed the flag pin he had purchased. "I wear the American flag," he said, "Look, I wear it upside down. If this doesn't show anti-patriotism, I don't know what will. Maybe blowing something up... I did that, you know."

President George Bush also weighed in, "he's allowed to do whatever he wants," the President said. "But the you can bet that anyone not wearing a flag pin will be red "flagged" by the TSA." He laughed.

Across the country, millions of chinese workers cheered. Mr. Deng,a foreman at one of the numerous American flag pin factories in Shanghai was especially exuberiant. "It is just more money for us. The more flag pins Americans buy, the more I get paid." He demonstrated the numerous flag pins he had. "I have American flags, German flags, Russian flags, Chinese flags.... I wear them all! I'm very patriotic."
