Why hasn't Obama ordered flags to half-mast after what happened in Tennessee?

is that a good enough sample to show the time frame for such orders.....and does this blow the "Business as Usual" theory out of the water.


I also didn't say it was an Intentional Diss.....I said, and I quote, "he completely #^&#^&#^&#^&-ing dropped the ball there and has No Excuse."


and as much as I don't want to sound like Jim....Try and make that wrong

Spence, you just got your azz handed to you. On top of that, after SCOTUS legalized gay marriage, it also just took a few hours to illuminate the White House in rainbow colors.

Spence, what is your response to this, exactly?

"I also didn't say it was an Intentional Diss"

Fine, I'll say it. It didn't occur to him initially, then Foxnews started complaining, and he wasn't going to appear to be taking orders from Sean Hannity, so he stubbornly refused to give the order, until the governors (even liberal democrats) shamed him into doing it.

"as I don't want to sound like Jim"

Well that's a little harsh, IMHO.

Actually he just validated my point. Given the Obama Administration appears to have a consistent pattern in regards to flying the flag, one would likely assume this was just an oversight by someone else...unless there's information otherwise which I don't believe there is.

It's fake outrage that fits the narrative of Obama not loving this country because of his Kenyan sensibilities.

No worries, if I had a dollar for every time I confused who said what. I have an illuminated flag on my house, but I'm Personally not a fanatic about it, in terms of what others do, I usually don't concern myself with what some person does on his own property.

Man oh man. When Obama said there were 57 states, was he wrong then? Or did he acquire additional states in a nanosecond, and then sell them in the next nanosecond.
My outrage isn't fake, it's as genuine as it gets. There's not one loyal follower of rev wright who doesn't hate this country, nor a political ally of bill ayers, and you can throw his wife in the mix of America bathers. You'll never hear me say he's not a citizen, though.

In other words, if it always took Obama a week to lower the flag, you give him a pass. And if he usually takes less than a day to do it, you still give him a pass. In other words, no matter what, he is impeccable. Must be awfully convenient to be validated regardless of what the facts happen to be. The climate change kooks take the same approach. No matter what, it's man made climate change that will have Fairbanks exporting rum and sugar cane any day now.
