In the upside down world that comes with Barack Obama in the White House, everything is a prop--including Old Glory.
“One of the 20 finalists in health care video contest run by Barack Obama’s campaign arm features a mural of an American flag splattered with health care graffiti until it’s covered completely by black paint.” (politico.com, Oct. 28, 2009.)
“The video is accompanied by the sound of a heart monitor pumping and then flat-lining--words such as “pre-existing conditions”, “homeless” and “death panel” ultimately obliterate the flag, which reappears on screen seconds later with the words “Health Will Bring Our Country Back to Life” on the blue field where the 50 stars usually are.”
