The flag flap that is unfurling on FOX News right now is developing quickly into a huge embarrassment to the Obama campaign. The callous, disrespectful disposal of some 12,000 handheld American flags left behind at Invesco Field following the Barackopolis  speech is being skillfully manipulated by the McCain campaign which rescued them before they could be dumped at a landfill and is now in the process of redistributing them to attendees at a McCain/Palin rally in Colorado Springs.

There are federal rules for the disposal of flags, rules which do not include hauling 12,000 of them off to a landfill in plastic garbage bags. But then, isn’t that just so Liberal, waving thousands of flags for the network cameras then tossing them as soon as the lights go down?

One thing to be alert for here is how Barack Obama will respond to this colossal blunder. If history is any guide, Obama will try to divert responsibility to his staff, but then wasn’t it Barry who just this week has been reminding the world that he is the executive responsible for running his giant campaign organization?
