Tom Bevan from Real Clear Politics:
He's campaigning in Charleston right now, and I can't help but notice he's wearing a flag pin on his lapel and has two huge American flags as his backdrop.
You can see Obama's flag lapel in the WSAZ video here.

Here is Obama in 2007, telling a reporter why he doesn't wear a flag lapel pin. Notice the self-righteous preening:
"You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a (flag) pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest..."
Below is a photo of Mr. I'm-too-good-to-pledge-to-the-flag Obama campaigning in Iowa last year.
So Obama was against the flag before he was for it.
