It appears the president-elect doesnt have freedom of speech where you're concerned. Would you like to try a third time to post the rest of his statement?

I guess it's an intermittent thing:

The article you cite, Friendly Blogger, was from 2007. This is from May 14, 2008

This is so stupid. Wearing those pins wasn't even popular until recent years.

Meh.

What a tempest in a teapot.

What Obama was saying was that wearing a 50 cent pin, probably made in China, does not make you patriotic.

What is next? Not having a SUPPORT YOUR TROOPS ribbon-magnet on your makes you Un-American?

To clarify the point that I was making when the mod removed my post...

Wearing a pin does makes you no more patriotic then someone who doesn't then a guy who wears a JETS jersey makes him a bigger fan then someone who does not (religion left out).
