If this image is not a very scary indicator of the direction these Obama worshipers want our country to take, I do not know what is. Even if this were legal to do, he is not a good representation of what America stands for. He is an enemy to the people in my opinion and his face on our flag says dictator bold and loud!
Veterans Outraged Over American Flag With Obama Image
Veterans in Lake County, Fla., are incensed that local Democrats hoisted an American flag with President Obama’s image in place of the traditional stars over their headquarters. The veterans denounced the modified banner as “a disgrace,” reports Fox News.
The veterans’ complaints finally prompted the Democrats to remove the flag from its perch under a customary American flag on the flagpole outside party headquarters in Tavares, Fla.
“It’s absolutely disrespectful,” said Jim Bradford, 71-year-old veteran who served during the Bay of Pigs invasion. “It’s totally ridiculous. To put somebody’s picture there, to me, it’s a disgrace to do that.”
Bradford sent pictures of the flag to fellow veterans and friends, and he delivered a copy of the federal flag code to Nancy Hurlbert, chairwoman of the Lake County Democratic Party.
“We read that to her, but she would not accept that,” Bradford said. “The discussion finally got a little bit heated.”
Hurlbert later removed the flag, which had been flying for several months without a complaint, and apologized for the incident, but didn’t indicate whether she would fly it again.
“What really upsets me is that the flag had apparently been flying for months and no one had done anything about it,” Bradford said. “I’ve got no hard feelings toward [Hurlbert], but people will be driving by there to make sure it doesn’t go up again.”

Here in the Silicon Valley, its worse than that, they even have an elementry school that has a song praising Obama that the children 'must' sing. (started in New Jersey) There's a restaurant in a town just north of me that has a sign on their front window ' Obama is the coming of the lord'. There's even more Obama idol worship that I could get into going on here. Too many, just do a search on it.
This should not be regardless of who is president. I might also add that a few years ago a local elementry school had an effigy of GWB that they used for a pinata (sp) They beat it with a stick.. The local newspaper had a picture of it and praised the children for being so creative.

i always thought it was not only morally wrong but illigal to deface the national flag(u.k.. dont know about the u.s),or anyone could put there face on a flag and fly it over there house.
might keep the cats away though!!!

Do you suppose she's still in high school or if not, is simply a rabble-rouser?
