Obama flag pin update: Obama now wears the flag pin when he meets with bitter white voters

Below is a photo of Barack Obama in DC on May 13. No pin on the lapel, since there is no need to demean yourself with a flag pin when you are meeting with fellow elites.

As Mike's America says, it all depends on who Obama is trying to impress.
