Pretty disgusting people use the flag as a tool for their own political goals. Why do these people not understand how our government works? The American People elected Obama and if you do not like Obama you will have a chance to vote him out in the next election. That is how it works in the USA.

I agree with you. I would boycott any business that did what that business owner is doing with the flag. Find another way to protest, for crying out loud. We had a guy do that at his home in my state and the police stopped, thinking he really was in some kind of trouble.

Really? Because even the most hardcore anti-Obama people I know would be SUPER pissed to see the flag being used this way.

Who are you trying to kid? No business can afford to turn off half to three-quarters of their customers. Or even a quarter of their customers, for that matter.

Right but don't you see? As long as it's in opposition w/Obama, they're fine with it.

Wrong. Three quarters of the american public are disgusted with this administration. 75% Are Angry At Government’s Current Policies - Rasmussen Reports™
I'd say that this is a sign of the times and most people will agree that our nation is indeed in distress.
