Default Obama During the Pledge

I seriously question Obama's judgement on things. There is no good explanation why he refused to put his hand over his heart like everybody else did. After all he's running for President of the United States!

He actually appeared bored, didn't he?

IMO, he doesn't have to put his hand over his heart. As far as I know, it's not a requirement, and people have the choice as to whether they do it or not. He chose not to. No biggie.

I hope voters don't actually pick a candidate on petty things like this. They dominate the media (Bosnian sniper, Rev. Wright, First time I've felt proud of my country, god & guns, etc etc) when the things that actually matter (economic, social, and foreign affairs policies etc) are relatively disregarded by the average voter.

I don't care if the next president has a solution the credit crunch, but I sure as hell don't want a president who doesn't show respect for a horrible rendition of star spangled banner!

Should have put that last bit in quotation marks for our friends in up-over there, Kiwi.

obama grew up in indonesia during the preschool and kindergarten years. he never had to recite the pledge of allegiance or hold his hand to his heart and appreciate this amazing country. he doesn't have those beliefs and that is why he is such a dangerous candidate. he holds no allegiance to this country. according to freud, the first 5 years of ones life are the most important. obama wasn't in the US for his first 5 years. he has no US loyalty and therefore it is no surprise in this video that he doesn't hold his hand to his heart. he wasn't raised or taught to appreciate the flag which millions have died for.

You're right, it is disrespectful. Someone should shoot that singer. That was a gawd awful rendition of our National Anthem.

Just because someone doesn't place their hand over their hearts when the National Anthem is played, does not mean that person does not appreciate his country.

Good God, I don't hold my hand over my heart and sing my National Anthem when I hear it - I don't even know the words - but that doesn't mean I don't love my country, and it's people.

Do anything for ANZAC day Makedde? I went to the dawn service in Sydney, very moving.

Its sad they work themselves into a fit over side-shows like this, and smears like Sub's there.
