New Scandal Plagues Obama

The McCarville Report, one of the most respected names in political news in Oklahoma and the nation, is reporting that a new scandal is beginning to rock the Barack Obama campaign.

Obama and company have issued special credentials cards to attendees of the Democratic National Convention who are fans of Barack. The card contains the picture of an upside down American flag.

According to official protocol for displaying the flag, the stars are always to be placed in the upper left corner. On the Obama card, however, the stars are in the lower left corner with the stripes above it...clearly upside down.

An upside down U.S. flag is an international symbol of distress.

The obvious question arises as to whether or not a candidate is fit for office if he and his worshippers are so dumb as to be ignorant of the accepted protocol for displaying the American flag.

And further, if they are aware of the faux pas and are deliberately sending the symbol of distress to the world, are these the kind of people we want in the highest offices in the land?
