I really do hope Barack Obama isn't going to start tying himself in knots over the lapel flag issue:

This week, after eschewing the patriotic symbol for quite some time, Obama started wearing the pin to selected events. On Tuesday, he was sans pin on the Senate floor, but then later donned it while speaking to working-class voters in Missouri during the evening. "I haven't been making such a big deal about it. Others have. Sometimes I wear it, sometimes I don't." ...Obama may make it sound like just a random fashion choice, but there is a large swathe of Americans who take symbols like the pledge of allegiance, the national anthem, and, yes, the flag in its many iterations very seriously.
Hillary also drops the accessory from time to time, apparently, but then she's not under anything like the same degree of scrutiny.
