He does not want any new flag. This is an internet myth, based on some campaign items the president's team was selling. It is very common for candidates to use a flag (with the candidate's name and logo) on shirts or coffee mugs. The Obama campaign sold these items to supporters, as other presidents have also done. But Mr. Obama has no intention of changing the American flag, which is a symbol of our nation and does not belong to any one candidate.
Not enough light on the flag maybe... Are we supposed to pay attention to Obama or the flag?
YES! They exist! They have a new president named Barack obama! Their flag has 50 stars!
That's President Obama.
Yes, Obama has come out in favor of building new, safe, nuclear power plants.
No - he has no conceivable reason to want another war of any kind.
Blue
no
I think Australia needs a new flag, because New Zeeland has almost the same flag.yes but Australia had it's flag before what we need is a discussion to see if we want to sure there was a vote but were here and now not then and there
Barack Obama put the American Flag on top of the White House...........
The Tea Party and the military were bonded by this flag so President Barack Obama turned aside the flag to break the bond. Obama has no power to "break the bond" of the Gadsden Flag, although some leftist organizations have tried, and this flag is a part of our history and is not offensive to Americans that love America.
There are two main reasons that some people want to change the New Zealand flag: * to reduce the confusion with the Australian flag * to represent the current image and perception of New Zealand rather than the historic close allegiance with the UK. This would be similar to the 1965 change to the Canadian flag, which also used to have the Union flag in the top left quadrant, and was changed to represent Canada as its own entity with its own symbolism.
No, not exactly. This is another case of an internet myth, with the president and first lady's political opponents claiming the Obamas hate America and hate the flag. Neither is true, nor is it true that Mrs. Obama insulted the flag. What is missing in this story is the tone of voice: she was expressing amazement and admiration at a ceremony to honor the flag, but her political opponents sent around a chain e-mail that said she was impatient and didn't want the flag to be honored. She said no such thing, nor did she express any negative sentiments about the flag. I enclose a link to one of the many sites that fact-checked this myth.
