US City Now Flying American Flag Featuring Obamas Face In Lake County, an American flag with President Obamas face on it in place of stars sent the Florida town into outrage. The flag, which hung long enough to enrage many Americans, was hung over Florid countys Democratic headquarters. Although democrats later took down the flag, the damage had already been done. Its absolutely disrespectful, said Jim Bradford, a 71-year-old veteran. Its a disgrace to do that. Bradford is an organizer at the Veterans Memorial at Fountain Park, and was able to snap photographs of the flag before it was taken down. By the end of the day, he had rallied a group of veterans to deliver a copy of the federal flag code to Nancy Hurlbert, the chairwoman of the Lake County Democratic Party. According to reports, the flag was later removed and is now available online for $12.95. What really upsets me is that the flag had apparently been flying for months and no one had done anything about, Bradford told reporters. Hurlbert legitimized the claims, telling reporters that no one had complained before. It leads me to believe that its not about the flag, Hurlbert told reporters. Certain elements cannot accept Barack Obama as president. The chairwoman claims that she is researching her rights before determining whether or not to fly the flag again. Luckily, Jenn Meale, the communications direct for a Florida Attorney General, has revealed state laws that protect the flag. According to Statue 256.06: No person shall, in any manner, for exhibition or display: 1. Place or cause to be placed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing or advertisement of any nature upon any flag, standard, color, ensign or shield of the United States or of this state, or authorized by any law of the United States or this state; or What do you think? Should Hurlbert be punished for violating the law?
