SOS! Flag Upside-down on Obama's Admission Ticket

My local radio station just announced that the admission ticket for tonight's Obama Concert has the American Flag printed up side down...

What's this about? Are we in distress?

OT

Reference: Section 8a of the Flag Code

It does go along with Obama's theme of change. To print the flag upside down along with his message of change does go together.

Not saying it's right or wrong, just sayin.

"Anyone with a knowledge of flag etiquette knows that it is never allowed for the flags stars to be upside down. The one exception is to fly the flag inverted as a notification of danger if no other method is available.

Those who have received their community credentials for Obama's acceptance speech will notice that Obama is pictured with an inverted flag. Maybe it is dangerous to vote for this guy.

There is one other example we know of, John Kerry's book called, "Vietnam Veterans Against the War" The New Soldier by John Kerry. A very close resemblance indeed" Source/picture: www.nowpublic.com...

Is the country not in danger? Is the country not in crisis? Is this not an appropreate statement to make about the way that this country is being run? (at least by the opinion of Obama?)
