This is the type of thread in which you look like a fool arguing with Conservatives. I'd rather let them drive themselves over a cliff with this stupidity.

Obama didn't speak until 1:54 PM
Check. If you believe that then you believe that NONE of the military personnel assigned to the White House thought of it. No one who wears the Presidential Service Badge on their uniform thought to lower the flag.

Got it.

Congratulations. If disrespecting the President wasn't enough for you, you have also disrespected each member of our Armed Forces who serves at the White House.

This isn't significant.

[anyway, with all the people dying every day I'm surprised the flag is ever raised to full staff]

Oh, God. SHUT. THE. ****. UP.

Even if he did wait what amounted to less than a day to lower the flag, you're mad because he didn't do it yesterday? You want him to wait again? Or were just just looking for another reason to post a completely unsubstantial thread just so you could whine and b***h?

This manufactured outrage is really, REALLY getting old...
