WHITE HOUSE UNVEILS NEW AMERICAN FLAG


WASHINGTON – The White House reportedly is set to announce a redesign of the American flag.

Reports from sources close to the White House say that President Obama felt that the American flag, “like the Constitution,” was old and needed updating.

Here’s what the new flag will look like:

The administration is supposedly ordering all government buildings to begin displaying the flag on August 4th, 2012.  That’s the President’s 51st birthday.

“The old flag has become a negative symbol around the world and many people in other countries are often burning it in protest,” said an aide close to White House insiders.  ”The new flag will be a symbol of hope and change for the world and the White House believes that there will be far fewer flag burnings across the globe with the new flag.”

The Administration feels that President Obama’s face immediately makes a person think of the best parts of America:  equality, fairness and respect.  “President Obama’s face is more unifying than 50 stars,” an aide to a Democratic operative said.  “Out of many, one.”

The President is reportedly planning on making a speech at the official unveiling of the flag.  In the speech, he intends to apologize to the world for the negative symbol that the flag has become.  ”Our new flag is one that will bring the world together, in harmony, peace and love,” a senior aide reportedly told WWN.

The flag is already being flown outside the Capitol Building:

There are some houses in Lake County, Florida that got an “advanced copy” of the flag – and are proudly flying it.

But tempers are flaring over the new version of the American flag.  A veterans group says the flag is an outrage. Korean war veteran Don Van Beck said his blood was boiling.

“I can’t describe how upset I was because you just don’t do that to the American flag,” Van Beck said.

The White House appreciates Van Beck’s position, but his views will not stop production of the new flag.  The Federal Reserve has reportedly already set aside $300 million – so every man, woman and child in American can have a flag.

The Administration is also planning to sponsor an official “American” basketball sneaker:

America, America…

    This is so STUPID! What happens when we have a different president in office? Make more flags with his/her photo on it? Sorry, I don't want to see Obama's face flying eveywhere!

    What makes this article funnier is that mainstream media has been running the same story.

    The sad part of this is that someone actually thought this was a good idea to do…

  8. DROSE says:

    Obama will outlaw the constitution and call himself King Barack of North America and invade Canada and tear down the Statue of Liberty to be replaced by the Statue of Obama and add his face to Mount Rushmore and invade Mexico and give everyone who voted for him $100 and take $1000 away from everyone who voted against him and no one will ever vote again because he will be the king and

      I hope you're being sarcastic because this is what the nuts said about Bill Clinton. Why has he not done any of this crazy stuff yet? Obama hasn't done much of anything since he's been in office. This is why his base is not very fond of him. He has caved to pressure on every single issue.

  9. Nash says:

    you losers will believe anything. Typical inbred Repiglicans.

  10. Emily says:

    I really hope they come out with the new flag in miniature form. It would be the perfect addition to the antenna of my Prius. (I got a custom paint job with Al Gore’s face on the hood.)

  11. Levi says:

    Who even believes this fucking bullshit?! That would be completely against the Constitution because if he did that, he woud be called a singularitional monarch… Gay ass gossip…

  12. Julia says:

    The new flag will give hope? I like Obama and all, but people will be burning this flag down faster. Who wants to see Obamas face on the flag? If this is really true, I’m disgusted by him. Our ‘old’ flag has a pretty meaning. And if you think for one second that this flag will be apperciated more, your terribly wrong.

    • Bobby Pinn says:

      "apperciated"? "your" wrong? No wonder you're (the right usage) so gullible that you believed this joke. Please go back to Fox. It's just as truthful.

  13. Julia says:

    And dumbas$, this isnt real.

    • Dumbass says:

      The flag depicted above is very real, and was flying beneath the real flag at a Democrat headquarters in FL. Dumbass.

    I thought the he was THE ANTI CHRIST and if he were really to do this then I would be right!! (I think he is anyway)

    • HawaiianPunch says:

      Anti-Christ meaning Non-Christian… The dude is Muslim.

    • Wally Gator says:

      Your Hawaiian Punch must have a double dose of N'awlins hurricane juice in it if you still believe the birther cr@p. Of course you also thought this was a real news site, so it's not surprising.

  17. Dr Zaius says:

    I think there are a lot of Liberal trolls who visit WWN in order to cast doubt on the veracity of the very
    thoughtful reporting that goes on here. If it was not true WWN would not publish it. Of course you can't say that about the main steam media!

  18. Ralph says:

    They should have put Mickey Mouses picture on the flag instead. I think even MORE people will want to burn the Obama flag.

  19. Bre says:

    It may be a joke but sadly it would not shock me if he did try it. He has done nothing good for the united states all he cares about is how he looks not for being a leader but for being a shitty icon to supposed “change”

  20. kimkardashiansdildo says:

    great just what want too see i think not

  21. Julie says:

    I love the shoes!!! When you use the words " reportedly" and" supposedly" you are not a journalist and you just look desperate.

  22. Dan Spink says:

    Simply juvenile thoughts. The reality is that the Constitution of the United States is a great document. The interpretation of and actions taken by the courts, and other branches of government have stifled the true meaning of Freedom! Ex, the Right of all to marry! What a waste of time with such folly as the "Obama Flag!"

    • Orson Kerridge says:

      What a waste of time that you thought this was a true story. IT'S A SATIRE and you gobbled it up like any rant on Fox.
