From WSB-TV in Atlanta The Obama campaign is drawing criticism for selling a print of this remodeled American flag on their website. The 50 stars are replaced with the president's campaign logo. We're talking to Republicans and Democrats about the flag flap, and we'll have reaction on Channel 2 Action News starting at 4. Please be respectful with your comments. Notice the commie red for the stripes What a classless A$$HOLE! Federal law stipulates many aspects of flag etiquette. The section of law dealing with American Flag etiquette is generally referred to as the Flag Code. Some general guidelines from the Flag Code answer many of the most common questions: The flag should be lighted at all times, either by sunlight or by an appropriate light source. The flag should be flown in fair weather, unless the flag is designed for inclement weather use. The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal. The flag should not be used for any decoration in general. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top. The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard. The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations. The flag should never have any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind placed on it, or attached to it. The flag should never be used for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything. When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously. The flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary. When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.

I understand you being upset about this. I am there with You but honestly what more do you expect from the the freedom hating anti American communist wanna be president currently occupying the whitehouse. If You Really wanna be upset look at the ndaa he signed into law or hr347 or look up agenda 21 or the fact that under Obama the national debt has gone from 3.62 trillion to 16 trillion . He has wrecklessly spent more money then the 1st 43 presidents combined. In short obama is what has. To be the worse president in the history of this nation.

To be the worse president in the history of this nation. a few corrections when obama took office 01/20/09 the national debt was 10.6 Trillion(not 3.6) congress agrees on laws and budgets, presidents SIGN off on what congress has come up with so its not technically an issue of presidents 'wrecklessly spending',, its not theirs to spend

As a nam Veteran I cannot be upset with it because I don't recognize it as my countries flag, which is a lot prettier...

damn freedom hating anti americans why do americans keep voting them in? Who ever printed on that flag was wrong for doing so, I disagree with it!

According to the national debt clock: http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html On this day in: 2000 the national debt was 5.7 trillion! 2008 the national debt was 10.3 trillion! 2012 the national debt is 16 trillion! In 8 years Bush raised the national debt by 4.6 trillion. Obama in 4 years raised the national debt by 5.7 trillion. If he is reelected and keeps on this pace he will have raised the national debt by 11.4 trillion. Obamites can dispute this, but this from the federal governments website itself.

damn freedom hating anti americans why do americans keep voting them in? it seems that for every accusation anyone brings up against obama, you seem to feel the need to dig something up from the past to make an excuse for him. like that makes what obama does ok because someone else in the past did it. monkey see, monkey do is a funny way to support your candidate

I'll stick with what the debt clock tells me and not some media outlet.
