Last October, Obama cursed the American flag lapel pin:

“Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq War, that [American flag pin] became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest.

He said that wearing the American flag pin on your lapel made you a fake patriot.

Now, Barry is wearing the pin, but not to fundraisers in San Francisco.
