Do the right thing, Mr. President — lower the flag

President Obama did not sing "Amazing Grace" at a Chattanooga church over the weekend. Instead, he took in a Broadway show and played a round of golf.

Governors in a number of states lowered the American flag to honor those lost --but the flag was not lowered at the White House.

Five members of the Armed Forces were gunned down by a Muslim terrorist on American soil last week and yet the flag was not lowered to half-staff at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

I’d like to know why.

My Fox News colleagues reached out to the White House Press Office – but so far – their questions have gone unanswered.

It was an affront -- whether intentional or not, to the families of those lost in the terrorist attack. And it was quite noticeable by many Americans.

ā€œI think the position of the flag tells you a lot about the priorities of this White House,ā€ Rep. Louie Gohmert, the Republican congressman from Texas told me.
