Obama campaign rehangs flags
TweetPublished: Fri, October 31, 2008 @ 2:58 p.m.
BOARDMAN — American flags hung backwards at the local Barack Obama campaign on Market Street are now hanging correctly.
The flags were hung vertically with the stars on the right side. But flag-hanging protocol is when a flag is vertical, the stars are supposed to be on the left side.
The incorrect hanging of the flags was completely unintentional, said Keary McCarthy, an Obama spokesman.
The flags, hung by volunteers, were immediately taken down and hung correctly today after the issue was brought to the campaign’s attention by The Vindicator.

Communist! Socialist! Tax increaser! Lawyer! See! these Obamites are trying to destroy the country.
Only kidding.
I, Not Joe the Plumber, am voting Obama!
UNAMERICAN!!!
They do not even know about the proper way to display the flag. Wonder how many people were in that office that did not realize they were not hung right, before the Vindy said something?
^^^Probably all of them would be my guess.
What no posters of Che?
That would not surprise me either.
At least they are trying to still hang the American flag and not the Nobama "New American" flag.
This is one Democrat that will not vote for a man who is supposed to be serving the the people of this country. How can Obama serve this nation when he stood on the senate floor and voted "present" 130 times instead of yes or no. If is undecided on 130 pieces of ledgeslation what kind of decissions is he going to make unless he looks over his shoulder to Biden? I can't believe people would think this guy is the answer. Our economy is shot because the oil companies got greedy and wanted to see how far they could push us. Well now th tables have turned because they are causing companies to lay off or go out of business which pushed us into the housing mess becasue people are juggling their money trying to survive. If you want to live in a third world country then Obama is your man. If he gets elected we may just be hanging up anew flag.

What is your problem? I've already explained the way voting in the Illinois legislature works. Everyone in the world can grasp the way they vote and what a present vote means but you. You would be a lot better off going back to just making things up then distorting the truth. You and your cronies are so sad.
Obama 08!
Cambridge; Nobama is due for a colonoscopy very soon you might consider escaping before they find you.
I am surprised that they are not flying the flag of Nazi Germany. Obama hates this country is ways that you cannot even imagine. The New Black Panther Party is causing problems in eastern PA. I for the first time in my life am not proud of where this country seems to be going.
