What's worse, the front makes it appear as if Obama is cloaked in the flag, as the stars are almost visually equivalent to his shirt. In fact, Matt Chandler speaking on behalf of the Obama campaign states: ...

Hot Air » Top Picks — Inverted optics: DNCC wraps Obama in upside-down flag posted at 7:55 am on August 19, 2008 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | printer-friendly Maybe the DNCC has kept track of the polling this summer and figures the Democratic nominee is officially in distress .  That’s the only explanation for a silly gaffe by the convention committee for the graphics on their credentials for those allowed to see Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at Invesco Field.  The holographic image uses an American flag motif with the blue field at the bottom, with Obama’s head emerging from it in one of the two alternating images (via the Weasel ...

Upside down, boy you turn me …
Sister Toldjah — Ed Morrissey has your LOL post of the day.  Well, it’s funny in one way, and not so much so once you get to the end of it to see what the upside down flag on the Obama Invesco Field credentials badge (for anyone planning on seeing the speech in person) is reminiscent of.

He says it is a stylized flag designed to blend the stars on Senator Obama’s shirt with the flag blowing in the ...
