Are We Serious?

                      

It seems as though our media and even a good portion of American citizens are living in a fantasy world where we tend to nit pick on the stupidest things. An issue arose the other day dealing with the sport coat of Barack Obama which lacked a small American flag pin. Of course the media has every right to scrutinize Obama over his absentmindedness because we all know that a flag pin is the only way to show that we are patriotic and love our country. I hope you caught the sarcasm in that comment because to me whoever broke that story deserves to be laughed at. With gas prices soaring and troops dieing on a daily basis in Iraq, it makes sense how Barack Obama’s “bare” sport coat makes headline news. Are we serious, with all thats going on in the world, we make note of something so irrelevant as this? I assume the next time Hillary Clinton gets her hair done, there will be a big article about it in the paper the following morning. We really need to get our priorities straight and give the media a nice slap across the face for pouring nonsense into real American integrity. If an absent flag pin is unpatriotic, perhaps I should ask those employed overseas fighting for our country to wear a pin to embellish their patriotism.
