	I think this might be one of those cases where there is some truth  
and some clear error. This has been going around long before the  
alleged Meet the Press date, so I doubt very much he said any such  
thing on Meet the Press. Obama has gotten increasingly savvy not  
saying such things. I suspect this morphed from Obama's dislike of  
flag pins and the aforementioned infamous photo of him not putting his  
hand over his heart (unlike the other Democratic candidates).

	I suspect there is plenty of fodder just sticking to Joe the Plumber  
and his exchange with Sen. Obama. :-)
