It's probably the most likely explanation

I think it's exactly the opposite.

He has all sorts of bureaucrats working there who are holdovers from multiple administrations that are responsible for protocol. They knew what to do. Obama specifically had to order this.

I noticed the same thing earlier this morning. Between that and the ridiculous gold curtain behind him, the whole thing looked decidedly unAmerican. Very Fitting.

The teleprompters at a Q & A session was also surreal. How does anyone defend his lack of intelligence?

You are right. I didn’t notice at first. I’m hoping it was the glare of the TV lights...I can’t believe he’d change the seal to “obama blue”. He obviously despises the rich blue and red of our flag, but still needs to use a different tone to appear patriotic.

The first anti-American president. Gag.

As we all know, the Flag means nothing to him.

That sure looks like a flag behind him on top of the White House seal.

Intentionally done. Remember, Obama covered up “IHS” at his Georgetown address in April ‘09.

There is a flag on top of the Hite House. It is possible a another flag is hidden on the left.

Some (maybe all) of those quotes came from the AZ Conservative (satire)

This seems like the sort of thing that would end up backfiring if we made a big deal about it. Sort of like the plan to show the birth certificates of the last 10 Presidents with an empty spot for Obama’s, which ended after it was discovered none of those other birth certificates could be found either.

Agreed, and I’d hope the original poster might ask a mod to delete it.

I've had a change of mind as the topic came up in conversation tonight, and I agree. This, and the decision to omit the Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington are probably O's way of scratching his middle finger at the nation, since his declining confidence numbers can't, after all, be his fault, right? (LOL)

Yup, you are probably right. The guy clearly doesn't get this country, and he has nothing but contempt for the people he managed to fool into voting for him in 2008.

This is Obama giving the country the finger.

I figured out where they got the curtains.

But of course the teleprompters are visible.
