There are quite a few exceptions to what is and isn't a national symbol. I don't think a souviner flag is protected any more than postage stamps, window decals, and bumper stickers. In fact, no law has been passed to prevent it. Yet.

Just one more needle in the voodoo doll!

You know you want one. go ahead get one. In 40 - 50 years someone will pay you $6.00 maybe as much as $10.00 for it.

BTW he isnt actually desecrating it that would be to DAMAGE the flag. He is signing it -making it more valuable to others opinions.

Interesting read on desecration of the flag:

"What people don't realize is that it is already illegal to physically damage someone else's flag or the flag on some government property. Vandalism laws already prohibit damaging someone else's property. Thus, this amendment would remove constitutional protection for what you do with your own individually owned American flag. If you sit at a sewing machine and create your own flag and then tear it up or burn it, you could be prosecuted. If you have an American flag tatoo on your butt and go to a nude bathing beach and it gets sunburned, you could be in trouble. If a bad ass biker has an American flag stitched across his leather jacket and gets into a bar fight with another bad ass biker, and the flag gets torn, one or both could face criminal charges."

Well I would rather have a President SIGN a flag let alone a souvenir type one that is going to be kept rather than have a any flag that is just get thrown away at the end of the day most likely. At least with him signing it it's going to treasured ..... And even with the bashing of Presidents that goes on If you had a chance to get him or (even me getting Clinton ) to sign one you would treasure it just due to the symbol of USA and being part of it!

Well you're allowed to desecrate those remember?
I wouldn't be surprised if those flags ended up on ebay or something.

For Theo, Bush could've signed a toilet and he still would've posted an article on it making some negative comment

Gotta love ya Theo
