People Distracted by #FlagInHairLady During Obama Speech

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.
