Obama Caves…Return of the Flag Pin
From the LA Times:
Amazing what a protracted primary struggle amid bitter small towns will do to previously stated political positions.
The flag pin is back on the lapel of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama…
I wonder just how “bitter” Illinois’ rookie Senator had to be to go back on his earlier explanation about not wearing the flag pin… that,
“…you show your patriotism by being true to your values and ideals. And that’s what we have to lead with, our values and ideals.”
In some, more sophisticated circles, this is what’s known as pandering. Like John Kerry going duck hunting, or Hillary Clinton drinking boilermakers. The point being to try and tell the voters who the candidate wants us to think he is. No doubt about it, Obama must be mighty bitter about having to do this.
