Remember, Obama bravely refused to wear a flag pin and the media hailed him as a hero. The Illinois senator explained months ago that he no longer wears such a pin, at least in part, because of the Iraq War.
“You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin,” Obama said. “Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest.
But insert trouble into the campaign and the flags come out of storage. This is Obama during his “race speech.”
My hero.

Are you saying his patriotism is not genuine and deep.

Wearing a flag pin is not a substitute for patriotism, it is representative of it.
