BEIJING – AUGUST 10: President of the United States, George W. Bush holds up the American Flag the wrong way before wife Laura Bush instructs him to turn it around at the swimming arena at the National Aquatics Center during day 2 of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games on August 10, 2008 in Beijing, China.

LOL..
I’ve just about finished mine in the Okanagan you’re welcome to visit for summer vacations after the new ‘Big Bang’..:)

I believe the “photo” in question was deliberately flopped by NBC (NOTHING BUT COMMUNISTS) in order to embarass our commander in chief. That’s only something that the “LIBERAL LEFTISTS” are capable of.
Ironically, this is the same way that the flag flies when you are looking at it from the same side Bush is holding it, also it is the same way it flies when worn on the sleeve of any US Soldier and it is the same way it flies when the wind blows, kind of like any one of the liberal agendas out there.
Get a life and forget about stupid things like this. This is not a reason to dislike our president, nor a reason to vote for socialism and Obama.
Liberal is a political agenda where money is redistributed not a lifestyle. Conservative is about freedom for all and less government.
Get your head out! Alan!
I wish Fox would fire you!
“…media never points it out…”
Well that’s because, somewhere in the world, there’s always a guy leading the cops on a 100mph chase, and there’s a guy in a helicopter filming it, and maybe–just maybe–something might explode.
AT least Bush has the right intentions. Obie painted over the flag on his carbon-spewing campaign airplane and installed his O-sign.

According to Snopes, Now Obama’s plane looks just like McCain’s.
In other words, they ALL do it, just like NONE of them wear a flag pin, because it’s ostentatious….
but the LEEEBRUL media never points it out.

There ARE two standards.
It is politically correct with the MSM to ASSUME Republicans are more patriotic, even when they show themselves to be anything but, because Republicans write legislation and make appointments that are more favorable to the MSM.
“Sumner Redstone, CEO of CBS ’s parent company Viacom, made an unusual political statement at a gathering of corporate leaders in Hong Kong (Asian Wall Street Journal, 9/24/04):
I don’t want to denigrate Kerry… but from a Viacom standpoint, the election of a Republican administration is a better deal. Because the Republican administration has stood for many things we believe in, deregulation and so on. The Democrats are not bad people…. But from a Viacom standpoint, we believe the election of a Republican administration is better for our company.”

The man probably has dyslexia.
While it appears to “us” he’s holding the flag backwards, his miswired mind must believe it’s properly held.
Of course, it’s also against the US Flag Code to step on the flag or drag it on the ground. Dyslexia doesn’t explain that Bush behavior so he must have other head problems as well.
Quite a collection of old fossils in this photo. The Olympics night life must be … over by 8:00pm.
August 14th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Woohoo, it’s a flag! Pass me a beer.
August 14th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Babboon…
August 14th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
or maybe…
August 14th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Mr. President, if you can’t display the flag properly in public, perhaps you should refrain from displaying it at all.
Either that, or maybe you could ask a member of your Secret Service or WHCA details to school you on how to do it. The WHCAs would probably be a good choice, seeing as how they’re all active-duty military.
August 14th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
Complete Jackassery…
August 14th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
It’s also against the US Flag Code to use the flag as an article of clothing.
It’s no accident this “flag” is about the right size for a handkerchief. What’s that spot in the middle of this “flag”?
Ah, no. He didn’t use it to …….?! Oh, grab a Kleenex next time George!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
A thousand words in that one, for sure. What an embarrassment to America that heartless, incompetent fool has been. I can(just)forgive you for falling for the bullshit once, but re-electing your pet goat in ‘04 was beyond comprehension.
How much has the neo-con chickenhawk cabal cost America in wealth, let alone credibility, respect and influence around the world?

The secret service would not let the “decider” display the flag upside down like he wanted.
August 14th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Ask not if the adulterous man can be a good public servant, ask if his mistress gives good “service.”
August 14th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
I can(just)forgive you for falling for the bullshit once, but re-electing your pet goat in ‘04 was beyond comprehension.
…and we have no logical explaination for it, except the Ohio election was rigged.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Well something was rigged. I know that Americans are not known for being the brightest people; but it’s hard to imagine that more than half of the country was stupid enough to vote for the man a second time!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Yeah, I know that was a bit broad-brushed of me. If you did vote against the pricks, you shouldn’t really be held responsible for them. There’s a lot of good yanks, especially on the edges, but the rest of the the world has seen way too much of the ugly side of America lately.
But who am I to talk? I’m addicted to Fox News – 24 hour fear and bollocks!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
It comes as no surprise that Barack HUSSEIN Obama wouldn’t make this kind of mistake as he doesn’t know what an American flag looks like nor would he ever be caught dead with one grasped in his ape-like paws.

The problem is and was, NO ONE TO CHOOSE FROM! We haven’t had a real choice since 1996
August 14th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
“The problem is and was, NO ONE TO CHOOSE FROM! We haven’t had a real choice since 1996″
Anyone, anyTHING would have been better than the “decider guy” we have in the white house now.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
I start to believe that until I hear some of the crazy ideas coming out of the mouths of our politicians. All I know is that with the choices we have, and ya gotta admit it, both sides of the political aisle will be holding thier noses when we vote….or be drunk. very, very drunk.
August 14th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
It looked right on his side of the flag.
August 15th, 2008 at 12:00 am
The guy is obviously a drunk morn, put into power as the stooge he is. Can’t believe the crap coming out of his mouth this week about Russia crushing Georgia. Hmmm, wasn’t it the US, with the UK and…er…Georgia who invaded and then occupied a sovereign Iraq? What a boat load of morons leading this planet. I can’t wait till my bunker in the Kootenays is finished so I can sit back and watch all these clowns blow each other up!! Too bad McBush is going to win in November and I may run out of time on the observation deck up the slope a ways!
August 15th, 2008 at 12:17 am
If Obama appeared in a similar picture,
that would invite comparisons with Bush,
which can only help the Senator.
August 15th, 2008 at 1:00 am
Hum!!!
If it was an unusual thing, we could forgive the man, and laugh about it, but really it’s a pattern for the last 8 years. Bush is just a puppet and his handler(s) were not behind him to tell him to hold it right facing the crowd and not himself. This guy is just an embarrasment to the USA. Seems to me that McCain will be just as bad if elected. I would take Obama any day over these clowns, it can only be an improvement for the USA.
August 15th, 2008 at 1:05 am
Obamas foreign policy. Ummmm, not in the world we face. He didn’t realize Russia holds veto powers in sanctions against them. I would expect me not to know that, but not someone who wants to be my president.
August 15th, 2008 at 1:22 am
Are you kidding? I heard he was wearing underwear made from the Chinese National Flag.
August 15th, 2008 at 1:27 am
All I know is that after 16 years of being screwed over by a president or 2, I want a break from ignorance. Don’t know where I’ll get it, but I’d rather take my chances on the old man who knows a bit about life.
August 15th, 2008 at 1:31 am
Take your chances on an old man who knows a bit about life?
Sheesh…nevermind.
Too easy.
August 15th, 2008 at 1:33 am
Now my head hurts.
August 15th, 2008 at 1:33 am
This brings a question mind:
If there’s a right way and a wrong way to hold it, then why does the flag have two sides?
August 15th, 2008 at 2:25 am
suntan: “It comes as no surprise that Barack HUSSEIN Obama wouldn’t make this kind of mistake as he doesn’t know what an American flag looks like nor would he ever be caught dead with one grasped in his ape-like paws.”
An ape would be an improvement over our current President.
August 15th, 2008 at 9:04 am
Liberals are grasping again!
Nitpicking at its best.
Where is Hussein? Is he supporting Iraq and the other Muslim countries in the Olympics?
August 15th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Suntan, Obama ain’t Muslim, but you’re confusing me in your hatred for Muslims– Isn’t your administration telling us to CARE about Muslims enough to spend $120 billion a month to create a democracy for them in Iraq, or are we supposed to HATE everything Muslim, even names that belong to Christians?
So which is it? Love the Muslims (which is where we’re putting our money and soldier blood these days), or hate Muslims?
Clearly, if you hate Barack Obama, you must also be against the war.
August 15th, 2008 at 10:01 am
suntan hates everyone, especially himself…
August 15th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Do you see the look on the daughter Bush’s face? Did she notice this mistaken flying of the flag or is it just gas?
August 15th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
AT least Bush has the right intentions. Obie painted over the flag on his carbon-spewing campaign airplane and installed his O-sign.
August 15th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
“…Bush has the right intentions…”
I suspect Georgie has impulses and urges and the occasional spontaneous reaction, like when your physician hits you in the knee with a rubber hammer. Intentions, though, almost certainly require conscious thought.
