I don't agree with that. It is specifically written in the flag ettiquet rules that no writing be on the flag.
(g) 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.
Of any nature. Presidents are just men. They are not above a rule like this. The flag is a symbol for the nation that shouldn't be used in such a manner. Get a pic of the Preznit with his autograph, but not on our national symbol.
Also: (d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free.

These articles are not LAWS, but they are the proper manner of etiquet that one should follow. To do otherwise shows disrespect for what it stands for IMO. And Presidents above all should be versed in this and follow it.
