The liberal media painted the Ivy League educated son of a former president as a good ol' boy who Joe Eighteen-Pack would love to share a beer with. Now that same liberal media is telling us that a man from a mixed-race broken home is an elitist. And the gun-and-bible crowd swallows it......again. And they always will.

The media has been plenty hard on Bush since his re-election (ha!) -- almost to the point that I feel sorry for him some days. Of course, a truly liberal media would have picked apart Bush's every word from, say, Sep 12, 2001 to March 20, 2003 instead of helping him sound the drumbeat for war.

Now that his wife is proud to be an American Obama feels it's ok to wear the pin again

I guess his words alone are not testimony to his patriotism after all

Resolving the lapel pin issue should free up time for B-HO to work on being less ~~nuanced~~ elitist. Those flag lapel pins are amazing, man!

Yeah... 'Cause you're not really an American, and can't really love America unles you have a little peice of metal and enamel stuck to your clothing. That's the definition of being a proud American.

Then why is Obama being pilloried for the same thing? Double standard? Hmmm?

McCain doesn't have to wear the pin. On any question of patriotism he has the trump card.

Kind of like when the Daily Show ranked the political power of each candidates response to the question where they were when they learned of MLK's assassination and McCain tromped the other two for being able to respond "well, I was living alone in a small cell..."

[Not that wearing a pin in any indication of actual patriotism. For example, I've never even owned a flag and I'm thoroughly unpatriotic.]

I think it's because he (Obama) genuinely looks pained to wear it.
