Joe American: “Hey, did you hear Barack Obama‘s
victory speech?”
Bob American: “Wha? Nope. I couldn’t take my eyes off of
that woman sitting behind him with a flag
in her hair. U-S-A! U-S-A!”
Television viewers tuning in to the president’s rah-rah
speech on Election Night found themselves distracted by a woman, seated behind
Obama, who had an American flag stuck in her hair. The Twitter hashtag #FlagInHairLady made
the mystery woman’s locks the most-talked-about follicles of the 2012 race —
narrowly edging out Joe Biden frosty ‘do.
10 tweets was gathered that show even the POTUS can’t compete with a lady using
the stars-and-stripes as a scrunchie alternative. Motive of the #FlagInHairLady
remains unknown, setting up mysteries and also popularities surrounding her.
