I watched about as much of the presidents press conference the other day as I could take. After about 10 minutes I had to throw up. I wondered why this particular appearance by the WON made me so ill. Was it the lies, the blame or the feeling that a large amount of smoke was being blown up my hindquarters? I never really put my finger on it until this evening when I read I own the World blog

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?

Holy crap, that was the problem, I felt a huge relief after I read the posting. I was truly worried that I had actually become a racist because that press conference made me so mad but I didn’t know why. Alas, I’m not a racist I’m an American and our dear leader is NOT. I believe in America, our dear leader spits on our accomplishments. I believe in the power of the American people and our warriors past, Obama spits in their face on the day we honor them.

Yes 2012 can’t come soon enough.
