Wait a minute, did Barack Obama just retweet Mitt Romney? And not in a "this Mitt Romney tweet is some real bullshit" kind of way, but in a "I actually agree with you" kind of way?

It seems that even the president and his former political foe can agree that the Confederate battle flag flying over South Carolina's capitol is offensive to millions of people in this country, especially in the wake of the attack on a church in Charleston.

Take down the #ConfederateFlag at the SC Capitol. To many, it is a symbol of racial hatred. Remove it now to honor #Charleston victims.

Someone check on hell, see what the temperature is. 

Hundreds of people marched in South Carolina yesterday to protest the flag's placement at the Capitol building.
