This is a total myth. The president was not on Meet The Press on September 7, 2008, nor has he ever said anything bad about the flag. I enclose a link to the full transcript for Meet the Press from that day. I also enclose a link to snopes.com, which addresses other similar myths about the president and the flag.

Where can you find the 'Meet the Press' transcript for Sept 7 2008 Obama US flag stance equals?
You can't because it's a myth. President Obama was not a guest on Meet the Press on September 7, 2008, and when he was a guest later in the year, he never said anything negative about the flag. (The appearances are probably still on YouTube or on the Meet the Press website, so you can see for yourself.) There are a number of internet myths that claim he was on TV on such-and-such a date and insulted the flag. But not one of these stories is accurate. Mr. Obama has never disrespected the flag, not on TV or anywhere else.
Was Barack Obama on Meet the Press and discussed his stance on the American Flag?
No. There was a hoax email about this. For details see the related question below. He was on Meet the Press on 12/7, though. On that date, December 7, 2008, newly elected President Obama was interviewed by Tom Brokaw, but no discussion of a stance on the American flag was a part of the December interview.
Where can you find the 'Meet the Press' transcript?
I am not sure which transcript you are seeking, but I wonder if it's the one from September 7, 2008-- the one that is an internet hoax about Barack Obama. There is a myth that says Mr. Obama was on Meet the Press that day and he insulted the flag. But he was not on the program on that date, nor did he insult the flag when he first did appear on the program in December. Meet the Press transcripts can often be found on their website, and some of the interviews are still found on YouTube. But you won't find this one, however, since it never happened.
Why is everyone denying interview on meet the press of Obama's stance on the flag I saw it when it happened?
You could not possibly have seen it, since it did not occur. I know you believe you saw it, having heard about it so many times from anti-Obama talk shows, but there is no evidence of it anywhere. Even the host of Meet the Press at that time has stated he did not interview Mr. Obama about the flag and they never discussed it. Nor did any other talk shows hosts on any other networks (including Fox). Further, both left-wing and right-wing media sources of that time (2008) have agreed that the flag story is a complete myth. And as for Mr. Obama's alleged stance on the flag, he has always shown respect for it, and there is no credible evidence to contradict this well-documented fact. Answer According to Snopes.com, the news of the interview is FALSE.
Where can you find Meet the Press story with Obama Sept 2008 on flag opinion?
You can't find it because it's a myth. It never happened. Barack Obama was not on Meet the Press in September 2008, and he never said anything about the flag on that show or any other. The flag myth is a false story, circulated by his political enemies. There is no evidence that Mr. Obama ever went on any talk show and insulted the flag. Further, when Barack Obama did appear on Meet the Press, in December 2008 (for his first interview as president), he never discussed anything about the flag, nor was he asked any questions about that subject.
Where is the transcript for meet the press 7 sept 2008?
This is the program where supposedly Mr. Obama insulted the flag. Except it never happened. It is yet another piece of fiction about the President; it is widely quoted but it is totally false. Mr. Obama (then still a candidate) was not on Meet the Press in September, and when he did in fact appear on the program in December, he said nothing about the flag. Nor has the president ever said anything negative about the flag, contrary to various myths. I enclose a link to snopes.com, which was one of many sites to debunk the flag claim.
Who ran for Vice President with President Obama's campaign in 2008?
Vice president and former Delaware senator Joe Biden is Obama's running mate in 2012 as he was in 2008.According to an Associated Press report that same evening, Joe Biden was selected as Obama's candidate. The Associated Press report was confirmed several hours later, on August 23, on Barack Obama's official campaign website and by a mass text message to supporters.
What did Barack Obama say on Meet the Press September 7 2008?
Absolutely nothing, because he was never on Meet the Press that day. There is an internet myth that claims he was on the program and insulted the flag or said he refused to salute it. This is patently false. Mr. Obama has never said any such thing. The first time he was on Meet the Press was right after his election-- in December of 2008. The flag was never discussed.
When was Barack Obama on meet the press?
Barack Obama appeared on Meet the Press multiple times during his political career. His first appearance on the show was in 2005, and his final appearance was in 2016. He appeared on the show as a senator, a presidential candidate, and as President of the United States.
What was the 'Meet the Press' transcript for Sept 7 2008 regarding Barack Obama and the US flag stance?
There is a hoax about President Obama, the Flag and a Meet the Press program on Sept 7, 2008. The email about disrespecting the US flag that attributed absurd dialogue to President Obama was fiction. The president was never on Meet the Press that day, and the times he was on, he never said anything bad about the flag. The guests for that day were Joe Biden and Tom Friedman, and the word Flag never appeared. You can get the transcript from the link in the related links section below. You can also find a link to the transcript for the DECEMBER 2008 Meet the Press when Barack Obama was a guest, but the word Flag was again not mentioned.There are also videos on YouTube for Meet the Press for September 2008 when Pres. Obama was not on the show, and for Meet the Press for December 2008 when Barack Obama was on the show, but never mentioned the flag. At YouTube you can enter in the search box, "Obama Meet the Press 2008 December" and again for September.You are probably asking this question because you saw an email that started as a piece of satire (i.e., like they do as a joke on the TV show "Saturday Night Live"). It is not the truth. It was written by John Semmens in 2007 in his Arizona Conservative Blog which he labels "semi-news, a satirical review of the events shaping our nation and the world" Semmens made up all the dialogue. You used to be able to get it from his blog, but now his archives only go back to 2009. Someone took it from his column, expanded the satire, wrapped it in a lie, and started forwarding it as if it were an email of truth. One version of the FALSE email from 2008 is below, there are also later modified versions:THE FOLLOWING IS NOT TRUE, IT WAS WRITTEN AS COMEDY SATIRE:Obama Explains National Anthem StanceSun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.The General also stated to the Senator that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. At the very least, "Stand and Face It"Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides, Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all.It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it."We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. My wife disrespects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in t he past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine."
