Obama Responds to Che Guevara Flag Flap

At least they call the Che Guevara flags “inappropriate:” On Reports of an Inappropriate Flag in a Texas Obama Office.

From Houston Fox News:

“The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign.”

That’s some pretty weak tea.

Note that the video also says very explicitly: “Volunteers opened two new Houston offices for the Barack Obama campaign. Paid staffers for the Obama campaign are expected to man the offices by the end of the week.”

A very interesting sidenote to this flap: in both of the videos linked here, the Fox 26 announcers don’t even notice the Cuban flags with huge pictures of Che Guevara, staring them in the face.
