[quote name='gargus']Thats horseshit.
He is wearing a hat and a sweatshirt for the aircraft carrier his son is serving on. He is a

ing stage hand, its not like he is infront of the camera giving the weather report or anything, the guy is behind the scenes manual labor and nothing more. I bet if there was a obama carrier and his son was on it and he wore that shirt no one would say anything.
Thats just really sad, petty and pathetic to make him take it off and then fire him over that.
You can tell by listening to him he wasnt trying to get attention or looking for a reason to get fired so he could throw a fit. He actually sounded upset about it and I dont blame him.[/QUOTE]
So, it was just a coincidence that he wore both those items on the same day Obama was showing up? It didn't cross his mind once that people would think that a hat/sweatshirt combo with giant GEORGE H.W BUSH all over at a Obama rally would be perceived as political? And if he wasn't trying to make a big stink about it, why wouldn't he just take them off when requested?
They told him to take it off, he refused and was fired for that. Not for wearing the stuff but refusing to take it off when requested by his boss.
