lapel pinIn the recent presidential election, current President-Elect Barack Obama was criticized in the initial stretch of the election for removing his lapel pin featuring an American Flag.  President-Elect Obama was quoted as saying the reason he removed the lapel pin was because “his words and his actions would represent his patriotism”.  Though this seemed like a reasonable explanation, several media institutions blew the issue out of proportion stating that he was not proud to be an American.  One media institution went so far as to suggest that President-Elect Obama was an “elitist”, and not in touch with the common person. 

Though our President-Elect might not wear a lapel pin, wearing a lapel pin representative of your country, social group, or social institution is a time honored tradition illustrating one’s own love and pride.
