Judging Political Jewelry-Obama's Flag Pin

Say what you want about Bob Schieffer, in my opinion he is one of the last honest Washington journalists we have left. They should have left the man as anchor on the CBS News, he's far and away superior to Katie Couric.

And, this may be as close to a Walter Cronkite moment that we are going to get in this campaign.

Bob nails the ridiculous question by George and Charlie at the Philly debate.

Thank you Bob. Its about time someone in the media put this lapel pen nonsense in context!

[mgeb2000]

You got it right Bob! I'm so sick of the lapel pin nonsense. Wearing it or not does not define patriotism. It is also a double standard issue, because I see no one criticizing Hillary for not wearing one on her pant suit jacket.

don't forget Hitchens, another great journalist.

Wearing a plastic dollar-tree pin doesn't make you a patriot, improving the state of your country's condition is patriotism.

It's sad that a little plastic pin is more important to Republicans than the issues facing our country.

We are trillions of dollars in debt and our dollar isn't worth crap. Somehow a flag pin doesn't mean much. Another why to neglect the real issues with our country.

Did you notice John McCain has also NOT been wearing a flag pin. Republicans are hypocrites.

[comnsense1001]

Hey Bob - guess who's wearing a flag pin ?

I can't believe Americans are arguing about this... If he refuses to wear a flag pin, he isn't patriotic??? So all you need to do to be patriotic is wear a frikken pin???

[rrrocksmahsocks]

I searched all over Google and I couldn't find a pic of McCain wearing the flag pin

[jsm408]

I looked for a picture of ronald reagan wearing a flag pin and I couldn't find one, obviously reagan was not a patriot! See how stupid this whole issue is neocons!
