President Obama was a Boy Scout. He writes about it in his first book “Dreams from my Father”

@Sarah -
So you’re in the habit of not apologizing to people when you cut them off in the supermarket aisle, on purpose or inadvertently? You’re in the habit of not apologizing when something you’ve said or done hurts someone else, either physically or emotionally?
You sound like a rather callous and cold individual – not at all what one expects from someone who holds the Scout Law and Oath in their heart.

I agree that Mr. Obama should have been a Boy Scout. He would have learned strong leadership and logical decision making skills and would have also learned about taking pride in being a true American and perhaps he would not have gone across the continents apologizing on behalf of Americans for being American.

Jack, in checking the video from CBS (I assume you saw the video on the Afghanistan and Pakistan leaders meeting), there are actually 2 groups of flag on each side of the door. Each group has the American, Afghanistan and Pakistan Flag. When the video goes close up, you only see the American Flag on his left but there is also one on his right.

I should probably mention that in each group, the American Flag is on the speaker’s right. I would have to check US Flag Code and/or my old scout handbook on International Flag custom but it seems consistent, as long as they are all the same height and size.

Obama should have been a Boy Scout. I watch news broadcast on CBS Evening News (05/06/09) and notice the American Flag was displayed to the left of the president and the other countries flag was to his right. Exactly when did the regulations change? The American flag has always been to the speaker’s right – as (s)he faces the audience from a stage or podium.
