Didn't want this one to get lost in the comments. h/t reddit.com, others.
P.S. Here's an informed comment by an AOL reader:

it does not surprise me that he refuses to wear the American flag, afterall, he is what he is,having been brought up and trained and educated in the islamic faith. He was sworn in refusing th do so using the Bible, now refuses to wear the American flag that so many brave men and women have died to defend. Id advise you all to read the koran, it states that all people who dont believe in islam, including aetheists, are INFIDELS, and goes ahead to state that they must be "eliminated". obama is an American hating wolf in sheeps clothing.
