Holographic DNCC Community Credentials Shows Upside-Down American Flag
Yet another obvious blunder showing once again that the Democratic party leaders really need to do some basic homework before pretentiously trying to impress the rest of us with their patriotism, or lack thereof…
Viewers question credential design

KUSA – Some viewers contacted 9NEWS Saturday, questioning the design of the credentials to see Sen. Barack Obama accept the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination at INVESCO Field at Mile High.
The viewers say with the stars and blue field in the lower left corner, it looks like an upside down American flag. Published flag etiquette states the stars should always be displayed in the upper left corner. An upside down flag represents an international symbol of extreme distress.
[Maybe they're trying to say that Obama's campaign is in extreme patriotic distress! Just an aberrant thought...]
Matt Chandler with the Obama campaign says the flag is not upside down. He says it is a stylized flag designed to blend the stars on Senator Obama’s shirt with the flag blowing in the wind.
Natalie Wyeth with the Democratic National Convention Committee sent 9NEWS the following statement Saturday night: “The DNCC community credentials incorporate patriotic design elements. They do not depict an actual American flag. The DNCC has full and complete respect for the flag and all rules of display.”
[ROFLMAO!!! - Here's a suggestion: An American Flag in the background (stars in the upper left, of course) with a bald-eagle in the foreground that morphs into Obama! Now, that's frackin' patriotic!]

I think whoever designed it knew exactly how it would resonate and he/she also knew the idiots in obama’s camp would not.
I have high hopes that obama’s next job will be standing on a street corner with a tin cup marked “change”
