We fly the flag at half mast for anything anymore. It pretty much means nothing to me. We honor and award losers like Obama, Whitney Houston and other non upstanding folks. Kinda like the Dumbell Peace Prize....it's a joke cheapened by folks who feel the need to gain popularity points.....this goes for both parties I'm not picking on the libs....well maybe a little because I mentioned Obama and Whitney.
I think the Speaker asked for half mast on the flags didn't he?
Obama will get some bump in his approval ratings from this....he will figure out a way!
