This change is very confusing.

First he threw the flag pin under the bus and now he has reached under it to retrieve it?

"Image makers have long understood the importance of creating powerful symbolic associations for their candidates. A good photo of a politician gesturing confidently, a row of American flags behind him, can convey leadership ability and competence; a poor one..."

Can you fit more flags behind ya Barry when you’re making speeches?

Another word for image is mirage. Obama, as far as patiotism and interest in the long-term, traditional interests of this Republic, is only a mirage, and an intentionally crated one at that. He is a militant anti-American, an abject marxist, and a charlatan.

His “changes” are a red flag as to how he’d operate should he win the White House, we’ll all be in big trouble.

Won’t wear the pin with the flag of my country, the United States of America. Then he doesn’t deserve to be president.
He accuses loyal patriotic people of being rednecks; well, Obama is a pinkneck Marxist and should never be allowed to hold any office in my country.
Hmmmm. Is pinkneck a word? I like it. It is descriptive.

this photo of him with the 8 flags behind him, why are the ropes draped down the front? another symbol perhaps of the bondage that this country is putting the people under? I would think that if you are proud of the flag, nothing, and I mean NOTHING, would be in front of it. Let it stand infront of everything, even a rope that is deccorative.
Hidden message????

And the most Photoshopped image of the day goes to -----

TA-DA

ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE for their "That Arab Guy Obama is G-d" cover image!

Rolling Stone graphics designer Irvin Goldberg who worked on the image said "I swear that cover gives me an erection!" Oy!

One Obama supporter said "That white halo around his body is real! I have seen it! He gives us hope for a change for hope and change like we have never seen hope and change ever in America!

Marice Brown, a young African American, looked at the Rolling Stone cover as it sat next to a newstand in downtown Atlanta and declared "Damn! That Arab looks good! I seen him once in a limo! Sold him a couple of rocks! Uh, you haven't seen a pipe on the ground here have you? It was next to my underwear."

Obamas campaign approved of the Rolling Stone picture and said that Obama would soon announce his energy policy on a nearby mount where he would take one barrel of oil and transform it in to many barrels of oil!

Obama's wife, Michelle, will be featured on next months Rolling Stone Magazine's cover. While the magazine denies that Obama's wife's image has been Photoshopped and that the "small differences are due to her recent makeover" some readers may wonder about that. Here is the picture of Michelle Obama that will be on next month's cover:

Michelle Obama.

That looks more to me like the effect used to indicate an unsavory aroma emanating from the object in question.

If Obama started wearing a swastika the press would explain that it’s an ancient Hindu good luck symbol intended to show his solidarity with people of Indian origin, and in no way associated with Nazism.

Barack Obama urged people Wednesday to look past the "bustle and busyness" of their everyday lives this Fourth of July weekend ...

Obama talked in almost achingly intimate terms about the impact service had on him...
