what's with the different US flags hanging on the capital?

saw this early this morning before things started.

the 2 flags in the middle have the usual star pattern but the flags on either side have stars in a circle?

1. I think they hang every flag we have had for the Inaugural
Obviously, the flags have evolved over the years as we have added more states.

2. I haven't seen any pictures; but if there are 13 stars in the circle,
then that's the original flag.

4. Is this the first time the flags were flown as such?
Seems so damn cheesy.

6. No
I was watching some past inaugurals on CSPAN last week and every one that I saw had the different flags.

5. They're reserving space for Junior's new flag design in the works
It will have 50 mini-swastikas replacing the stars. :puke:
