President Obama was recently in Milwaukee to address workers at a manufacturing plant. (The details don't matter to this blog.) At least one reporter wrote that the setting showed that the President is clearly on the side of unions, being flanked by the American flag and a union banner for Wisconsin Local 1848.The problem? That is not a labor union banner. That is the flag of the State of Wisconsin, which entered the union that we call the United States in 1848.
Sorry about that!

Are ya tell'n me that the state flag of WI is now an organized labor flag? Things are worse there than I thought.
Actually this reminds of when Obama was speaking in Ohio and the state flag of Ohio was in the back ground. The Conservative Conspiracy folks were all up in arms that Obama was going to change the flag of the United Sates. Bat-Manure crazy.
