It's actually two-fold...

There's a legality question, but that's smalltime...

The REAL question is "Why bother?"...

On more than one thread on this very forum, (and thousands of sites across the web), we hear time and time again how Obama not wearing a flag pin is much ado about nothing because it's nothing more than symbolism which patriotism shouldn't be tied to...

So what does Obama do?...He uses the very same idea of symbolism using offical images...

Besides coming off as pretentious IMO, it's pretty hypocritical to make a "principled" stand on American images and then distort one for campaign purposes...
