Obama Campaign Actually Replaces 50 Stars on American Flag With Campaign ‘O’ Logo
If you go to barackobama.com right now, you can buy your very own limited edition American flag print. But this isn’t any ordinary American flag; this is an American flag that replaces the 50 stars representing the 50 states with President Obama’s campaign logo.
The Obama campaign is selling the limited edition “Our Stripes: Flag poster” for $35 on its official website. The screen print was designed by Ross Bruggink and Dan Olson, according to the site.
As Fox News’ Todd Starnes points out, there is also another print for sale called “Our Stripes: Country Print” that also looks like an American flag but in the shape of the United States. Again, in the top left corner sits the Obama campaign logo instead of the 50 stars.
Promoting the new item, Obama’s official campaign Twitter account tweeted:
A poster to say there are no red states or blue states, only the United States: OFA.BO/gfHgXM
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) September 20, 2012
“The United States of Obama?” Starnes asks in his headline.
Find out how people are reacting to the Obama campaign’s version of the American flag on Twitter at Twitchy.com.
Just for the record, an American flag should never bear “any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature,” according to U.S. flag code.
Additionally, U.S. Flag Code-Title 4, Ch. 1, Sec. 3 prohibits the “Use of flag for advertising purposes.”
In case you find it hard to believe that the campaign of the sitting president of the United States would sell an item that replaces the stars on the sacred American flag with their own logo, we snapped some screen shots to prove it’s true.
Taken directly from barackobama.com:
This isn’t the first time that President Obama and American flags have sparked controversy. In fact, his campaign appears to have a real problem understanding U.S. flag code.
TheBlaze previously reported that the Obama campaign left a giant American flag on the ground while they were setting up for an official campaign event at the University of Iowa, a blatant violation of U.S. flag code that states an American flag should never touch the ground.
Further, just last week a Texas school district was forced to remove an American flag that has Obama’s face plastered on it. Again, just as in this most recent case, flag code states an American flag should never bear “any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.”

Ronald Reagan didn’t print his photo in the flag. There was a print of his and the flag behind him, guarding him. That was completely different from altering the flag.

Posted on September 20, 2012 at 12:11amI have to pray constantly these days that God will bless me with the capacity to love my enemies, the enemies of our country. I pray that this is all God’s plan. Nevertheless, we must all stand up against evil. We must wake people up and get them out to vote.
This Manchurian Candidate fraud, destroyer-in-chief, was elected through the racism of African Americans, the racial guilt of Whites, the opportunism of Hispanics, and, overall, through the defrauding of the self-absorbed, blase, masses who know nothing except how to ****-chat on their cells, text, surf porn, and watch the boob tube.
The Democratic fascists are now fully entrenched through the collective effort of evil, stupid, and parasitic destroyers of the country. I will stand against the tide of evil, but it feels like I am in some alternate reality. The news media has become the psych-ops branch of the Democrat party, which has become as radicalized as any Islamic terrorist group, seething beneath their smiles and lying words.
I cannot . . CANNOT . . . watch anything but Fox now, and even that in small doses because of the illogical, banal propaganda that would normally insult a person’s intelligence.

Posted on September 20, 2012 at 1:00amI understand…it’s so hard following JESUS’S instructions about “loving our neighbor” “forgiving our enemies”…. THIS man, however, is more than an enemy…he is SATAN. He is the father of all sin, of all crime, of all hatred…so what I do now for the most part is use EPHESIANS 6 (FULL ARMOR OF GOD) first and then Become a Warrior for GOD. I know that more gentle words could work better, but I’m not mature enough, sensible enough, or removed enough from the LOVE I feel for this Country to be docile.
I see the decency in this Country, the folks who have pulled themselves up by the bootstraps when they had no boots to begin with…the great love and freedom we have and then I see this snake. This sick, psycho who has somehow learned how to read a teleprompter, grin like a cat, con and use people and I see people who have been just separated enough from GOD (Madeline Murray Ohair) in the early 60′s …and who have a need for hope and have come to this Anti-Christ and I just shake my head. I don’t fear him, I fear what will happen to our COUNTRY. GOD will handle him and all of them…but I hate seeing lost generations, people suffering unnecessarily and I HATE THE VICIOUS MURDER THAT THIS SATANIC BTARD ALLOWED against our AMBASSADOR in LIBYA (and the TWO NAVY HEROES and the OTHER AMERICAN. And he sits on Letterman and gloats. I so hope it’s a devastating landslide against him.

Posted on September 20, 2012 at 2:41amLet America pray … for the retched bloody communists in the White House, in Congress, and in the Courts of Washington D.C. … in their their schemes to pervert & destroy our nation under God:
Psalm 109 — A Psalm Of David
1 Do not keep silent,
O God of my praise!
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful
Have opened against me;
They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
And fought against me without a cause.
4 In return for my love they are my accusers,
But I give myself to prayer.
5 Thus they have rewarded me evil for good,
And hatred for my love.
6 Set a wicked man over him,
And let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7 When he is judged, let him be found guilty,
And let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few,
And let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless,
And his wife a widow.
10 Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg;
Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places.
11 Let the creditor seize all that he has,
And let strangers plunder his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy to him,
Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off,
And in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

Posted on September 20, 2012 at 2:49pm@PattyHenry Patty, have you read about Obadiah, who troubled the waters? I do believe we are not meant to sit still. Jesus for sure rocked the boat and it’s still rocking regardless of all the arrows aimed at him in words, actions. Jesus said the gates of hell will not prevail against his church. And they have not. You mentioned Madelyn O’Hare but not her finality on this earth. She worshiped the money she made in her atheist push and her own turned against her. She and two of her family were kidnapped robbed and murdered. Their bones were found in graves in Texas. I have oftened wondered if she cried out to anyone in her last moments. Also about the hate. Well, I still have that problem but so did Paul with whatever his problems were. It takes work but it is “as a man thinketh so he is”. Keeping the engine clean so to speak. The car runs better if it is clean and so do we. Obama wants us to hate (ie you called him the Devil and that is what the Devil wants). I personally don’t think preaching here helps because either it’s the choir or non believers. But I am sure glad you love this country so much.

Posted on September 21, 2012 at 3:39am@SwordoftheLord,
Evolution does not claim that humans evolved from monkeys; rather, that humans and primates share a common ancestor. There are skeletal remains showing the slow progression that humanoids evolved into modern man. Unfortunately, many scientists like Richard Dawkins have taken Darwin’s theory and perverted it by adding A LOT of their own ideas. Darwin’s “Origin of Species” does not disprove the Bible – I encourage you (and any “close-minded” religious zealot) to read “The Origin of Species.”
We should help and serve other people more instead of wasting time promoting personal conspiracy theories and trying to predict the end of the world. Life is short so live happy! :)
