Despite Aid, U.S. Flag Does Not Fly in Haiti
Hardly a day goes by when one does not read of the Obama administration's disrespect of the nation's flag and our actions throughout the world. A friend called this March 2010 USA Today article to my attention. Despite more than $179 million in humanitarian aid and a recent visit from Michelle Obama, apparently the U.S. flag does not fly there at our mission headquarters. It is totally inappropriate and a break with past efforts to be of assistance in foreign nations.
But what are we to expect of a man who found it difficult on several occasions to put his hand over his heart when the pledge of allegiance was spoken?
It's really not laughable, more like pathetic when you consider his recent switch to "preemptive disarmament". The Iranians must be laughing, but I can't.
