I figure that it's just a matter of time before someone gets a spam chain-email about this that they're going to want to post here because they think it's the truth, so I'm going to save you the trouble (as well as a little embarassment) by posting the rebuttal first.

Barack Obama has not altered the American Flag and created some kind of "Obama Flag" with an "O" symbol. The flags you see interspersed with the American Flags in the picture below? That would be the state flag of Ohio, which is where he was speaking when that picture was taken.

I'm sorry if I ruined anybody's planned ignorant hysteria.

It's pretty sad that someone would actually think that.

What's sadder is that it's no longer surprising that someone would actually think that.

LOL LOL.

I think the OH. flag rocks...but then I am biased. If I get one of those emails I am totally sending it to my family. They would get a kick out of it.

It represents a BUCKeye, not a black guy. :P

Yeah, I was slightly tempted to let him post the accusation first. :lol:
