Obama: First U.S. President to hold Press Conference without the American Flags Present.

Posted on 05/28/2010 2:30:07 AM PDT by Retired Intelligence Officer

Did anybody notice at President Obama's Press Conference on the Deep Water Horizon disaster than something was missing in the background? I noticed something didn't look right and then it hit me. The American Flags was missing behind. Why? Behind him was just yellow curtains, and a couple of gold columns with chandeliers.

I went and researched and looked at all photos of many press conferences (not press briefings) of past presidents as far as I could go and low and behold the American Flags stood proudly behind the President or off to the side. What was the reason for this? This was Obama's first formal press conference since July of 09 which at that conference were U.S. Flags present. I am pretty sure this time that they had plenty of time to plan this and get it right?

So, maybe there was another motive for the flags absence. We know Obama (or his handlers) carefully choreograph his image, his appearances... It's why he's so teleprompter-dependent. Surely he and his advisers know that flag issues have been a lightning rod -- even before he was elected. I think this was deliberate. Could it be that Obama really is ashamed of America? Could it be that he thinks he is the citizen of the world which has no flag? Ladies and gentlemen this is very disturbing coming from the office of the Presidency. This is not normal to not have the symbol of the United States and its government in the east room of the White House and it is not very Presidential either. Many patriotic brave men and women have died under the stars and stripes called old glory. This fiasco coupled with the President skipping the laying of the Wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetary this Memorial Day speaks volumes of the man (or Usurper) that sits in the Oval Office. What say you?

Did a rat scurry across the stage before, during or after the conference?

It means Obama is not the president of the United States. Case closed.

Of course, in order to commit treason, you probably have to be a citizen. Maybe he’s not a traitor after all.

Maybe the flags reflect in the teleprompters, making them hard to read.

Seriously, teleprompters at a press conference? Is this assclown capable of a single independent thought?

Quite a very smart move on the part of -22bama. It prevents any more sticky flaps from happening, and the ensuing uproar.

Maybe they just downsized and the one & only flag was flying over the White House. You know...in these hard times...we gotta save money....and cutting back on flags might be necessary. //sarcasm off//

“Obama Administration Enables Saudi Princes to Escape Accountability for Mat. Support 9/11 Attacks
WASHINGTON, June 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On the day that President
Obama holds his first summit with Saudi Arabian King Abdullah in Riyadh, the 9/11
Families United to Bankrupt Terrorism charged that recent actions by his administration
would enable five of the king's closest relatives to escape accountability for their role in
financing and materially supporting the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. In response
to the administration's action, the 9/11 families released allegations made in 2002 of the
Saudi royal family's sponsorship and support of al Qaeda that the families believe have
been ignored by the Obama Administration.
On May 29, the president's top lawyer before the Supreme Court, Solicitor General Elena
Kagan, filed a brief arguing that it would be "unwarranted" for the Supreme Court to
even hear cases brought by the 9/11 families charging that five Saudi princes knowingly
and intentionally provided financial support to al Qaeda waging war on America. By
urging the high court to not review lower court decisions dismissing these cases, the
Obama Administration took the side of
the Saudi princes over thousands of family members and survivors of the 9/11 attacks
seeking justice and accountability in U.S. courts. “
