Flying the flag at half staff

[OGCJason]

Mr. Obama decreed that all U.S. flags be flown at half staff to honor the passing of Mandela. While a nice gesture, I thought the half staff rules applied to U.S. citizens only...

and

Half-mast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

were both interesting pieces toward that end.

What do you think? Was Obama over zealous in this proclamation?

The next to the last paragraph covers his ass, "foreign dignitaries", however, no one in this liberal atmosphere will call him to task over his actions.
If this were all he's done, our country would be on the high road.

REMEMBER + never forget, he is a member of the "Soros crowd," whos main objective is disarming America so they can usher in the One World Govt. If you believe this untrue, i suggest one spend a little time researching O.W.G. We are the last bastion of armed resistance (on this planet) willing to stand against them.

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL TRUE PATRIOTS!
