When Philippine President Noynoy Aquino met with US President Barack Obama at an event in New York last week, the US organizers had the Philippine flag hanging upside down. It wasn't supposed to be a big deal. And the US embassy has already apologized for it.
But check out the reaction on Yahoo!News, read the comments. Such a minor thing and the Obama detractors are up in arms predicting the end of US civilization itself.
Well, that's one more thing the two Presidents have in common. Every little misstep, even bad personal habits (smoking), are sure signs of the apocalypse.
Obama being the first black president is really up for criticisms. I guess Americans pinned their hopes on a man of a different ethnicity rather than the usual suspects. Then recession came in and the rest is history (It's Obama's fault that they are in recession by the way. It's always his fault. lol)
