The pregame tribute with Johnny Cash speaking his own words and President Barrack Obama awarding the medal to the soldier certainly had to make Twitler and GOP pee on themselves. Certainly looked to me to be a dig at the recent criminal Antibes of GOP. The ragged old flag, currently being torn and ripped like rarely before.

(8,713 posts)The most disrespectful thing ever done to the flag is this pig and his GOP traitorous pricks and prick-ets wearing one on their lapels. Makes me vomit. You know what John Prine said, "your flagged lapel won't get ya, into heaven anymore". Well, you know, not exactly but the current display of the flag fits. Bet John would approve of the slight change.

(8,713 posts)Was when they said the honor was presented to the marine by the President, and as the camera moved up, it was Mr. President Barrack Obama. No mention of Twitler anywhere in it. Hope he chocked on his 3rd cheese Berder.
