it's my opinion - though i could reference the new york times scandal and say that when the guy said "this runs far more deep than just me" i could point out that it still could be photoshopped.

The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
In other words, yes it is wrong to mark up a flag, even if it is with the president's signature. I think it may be different from wearing something like a flag in your jacket. the actual defacement of the flag is illegal.
