Flags pins are the mark of fake patriots

AT least according to B. Hussein Obama

"The truth is that right after 9/11 I had a pin, shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security. I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest,"

So, if you wear a flag pin, you cannot be a true patriot. True patriots would never put those pins on their chests.

What do you think? Could I qualify as an "authorized journalist?"

Update: Urbangrounds noticed it too.

Update 2: Another (silly) thought just occurred to me: Does this mean that I'm a true...say...German...patriot? I mean...I don't wear German flag pins on my lapel.
