Because he made a point of not wearing it saying that his words alone should be testimony to his patriotism....

and wonder of wonders now that these same words that were supposed to be proof of his patriotism are failing him(ie. the whole guns and religion speech) a little pin finds it's way onto his lapel.

I don't care if he wears one or not and I certainly don't think he is any more or any less of a patriot one way or the other......but apparently he thinks it matters

Before I try to decide if this is an indication of change, does anybody know his itinerary today?

Did it possibly include anything where outward symbols of patriotism are more de rigueur? Such as a a speech at an American Legion post, a military base, visiting wounded soldiers in hospitals, etc.?
