I find this very funny. And thought that maybe some of you would like a good laugh as well.
"On the October 15 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Bob Grant said: "[W]hat is that flag that Obama's been standing in front of that looks like an American flag, but instead of having the field of 50 stars representing the 50 states, there's a circle?" He then said: "Is the circle the 'O' for Obama? Is that what it is?" Grant later said: "[D]id you notice Obama is not content with just having several American flags, plain old American flags with the 50 states represented by 50 stars? He has the 'O' flag. And that's what that 'O' is. That's what that 'O' is."
I'm sorry I don't really know who Mr. Grant is I just find it very funny that he dislikes Obama so much that he is willing to make fun of the Ohio flag. Yes Ohio's flag has a circle on it but we have always had it that way we haven't changed it in the past year just to show our support of Obama. So to make this a discussion, has your state changed their flag for Obama?

That is funny, I guess Bob should study his state flags again.

I'm assuming he must be some type of talk show host or something. Maybe he is really really old. I mean Ohio did change their flag design something like 100 years ago LOL.

I heard this last night on a talk show and had to check to make sure it was actually real. I couldn't believe it, and it still has be laughing about it.
I'm surprised that Florida isn't changing their flag for Obama

OMG, I must be more out of the loop than I knew! I never saw this today, and Ohio's where I live!
This is seriously funny, though.

As far as I know New York has not changed it's flag for Obama, or anybody else. I didn't think that was supposed to even be a flag. Just a symbol that Obama is for the American people. Maybe it's a flag, I don't really know. At this point I think that's a silly thing to get worked up over anyway. It is funny that Ohio's flag is like that and he didn't know that before he started ranting about it.

lol Yes it's pretty funny. I thought that it had to be a hoax. But it appears to be true. Way to funny

I read this today, and I literally had my head in my hands, feeling equal parts amused and depressed.
Yes, it's funny, but it's also a sign of INCREDIBLE desperation. It's also a sign that these right-wing kooks don't fact-check ANYTHING before launching their assaults.
Of course, now they must all feel ashamed for making such fools of themselves.

I heard this last night and was laughing to tears. Ohio's been a state for 200 years one would think that they would think hmmm that flag looks like Ohio's flag.

OMG, what a doofus! I wonder if Mr. Grant will issue an apology to all of the good folks in Ohio for that blunder? Don't hold our breaths, I guess....

I've never heard of this guy but I wouldn't be surprised of anything Obama does. He tried to change the presidential seal on a podium. Everyone made fun of it and he only used it once. Now there's a doofus.

Rest assure Ohio did not change their flag and it's been our state flag for a very long time.
