Barack Obama has noticeably stopped wearing one, claiming that he will show his patriotism through his ideas, and also because he believes that the pin has become a substitute for discussing real issues of national security.

The majority of notable politicians have worn a flag lapel pin since September 11th, 2001.

Wow.

The funny thing is that Hannity has not worn the pin himself for a number of recent appearances on TV.  Click here for pictures.
