President Obama and his worshipers in the Democrat party may be planning to put his face on Mt Rushmore someday or plaster it on a one dollar bill, but a group of Florida veterans took offense when a county Democrat office was flying a flag with his face in the blue square.

It's called the cult of personality.

Isn't this a felony?
This sort of thing must STOP!
Actually, the US is too small for this person or rather this Democratic Party Office was thinking too narrow.
He really should have his face in the center of the UN flag and become the Emperor of the Planet (or some other appropriate title).
We're not worthy.

This is no different from the outfit in Florida offering the name "Bush" circumscribed within a fish (yes, THAT fish, the Icthys, the one used as a universal symbol of Christianity).
Both, of course, are wrong.
I expect President Obama is deeply embarrassed, if he even knows about it.
Totally different deals. Apples and rutabagas. Also very tacky.
The fish represents a religion, and as Siarlys says, it is universal. The flag represents only a single country,and while it is universally recognized, it does not in this instance designate or constitute any universal symbolism.
Since they are not at all comparable, while it is obviously appropriate to condemn the "Obama flag" with no further discussion really needed, it is not legitimate to condemm the "Bush/fish" by lumping it in rather than providing some exposition as to why it is "wrong".
Lastly, I am not at all sure that Obama is capable of embarrassment.
The fish is universal, therefore it is appropriate to appropriate it for narrow political purposes, but the U.S. flag is merely the limited symbol of a single nation, therefore the face of that nation's president should not appear on any version of the flag.
I once thought mr suggins to be a fairly rational and intelligent man, but this argument falls terribly flat on its own terms.
Once again, the president's face does NOT belong on a modified U.S. flag, and Bush's name does not belong on a universal symbol of the Christian faith.
