No flag, fine. No hand over heart for the anthem?

Just whom does he have allegiance to?

Hey, let him shoot himself in the foot.

I think Obama is a twit. A socialist who thinks he deserves the white house because he's black and by george, blacks are due a run at the white house, right?
That said....
Prove to me that the Anthem is actually running in that pic. Hillary and the other woman in the back are looking in a different direction than whats his face in the suit. Is the Anthem just starting, just ending, or what?

Snopes says "Yes, it's true."

No further comment, talk amongst yerselfs.

Maybe he had a zipper accident. Or his heart is in his crotch.

Snopes links to a video of the incident. Turn up your speakers, so you can hear the "vocalist." I really can't blame Obama in this case, as the Anthem wasn't being sung, so much as being murdered with a dull, rusty cold chisel. If he had leapt from the stage and slapped her hard across the mouth, he'd have my vote.

Regardless if one thinks people in general should place hand over heart or not, I think most of voting Middle America <tm> regard not doing so to be a negative thing in a Presidential candidate.

OTOH, none of them are facing the flag.....

Isn't B. Hussein Obama the same guy who decided he didn't like wearing an American flag pin on his lapel?

Taken individually, the things B.H.O. has been saying and doing are trivial . . . but taken as a whole, they're beginning to build to a rather, well, unsavory portrait of a man who wants to be President.

This little interview bit today, covered even in the NYT, gave me pause. He sounds like a Blame America sort from Daily Kos or something...

Quote

...he asserted that Irans support for militant groups in Iraq reflected its anxiety over the Bush administrations policies in the region, including talk of a possible American military strike on Iranian nuclear installations.

Excuse me?! shocked

Let me get that straight. Iran is supporting terrorists in Iraq because of American aggression towards them making them anxious. Right. That's what I thought he said! angry

Though I guess it's a legitimate question as to whether Bush hates America (like Obama), or if he's just not sure where the heart is located.

Not that complicated. He's just a freaking idiot.

There's plenty of legitimate reasons why Obama shouldn't be President, and I think we should focus on those.

And disrespecting the flag and anthem of the country one wants to lead is not a legitimate reason for voters to consider that a disqualifying attribute?

Puhleeeeez...
I suppose one could make the argument that the president doesn't have to love the USA but he or she ought to at least respect it. If neither then it is reasonable to assume that their leadership if elected would be less than beneficial to the country.

Claiming he's stupid/dumb/a moron/an idiot is a weak argument based solely on emotion and not on fact.

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #20 on:** November 03, 2007, 02:03:21 PM »

Seriously, folks, did any of you listen to the terrible performance of the Anthem that Obama was listening to? Why should he put hand over heart when the Anthem isn't really being sung at all? His only error was in failing to direct the Secret Service to tackle and gag that cow.

You can hear it on the video, which is at the Snopes link above.

Tuco · « **Reply #21 on:** November 03, 2007, 03:57:39 PM »

Okay, I gotta break my oath of silence.

The anthem is, at it's base, a song. The song represents quite a bit, but a song, music and lyric, is an art form ...here we go...

...the terrible performance of the Anthem.....

Check this out, and reconsider your statement from non-emotional viewpoint (by non-emotional, i mean leave artistic judgment aside).

The linked performance, before game 5 of the '68 world series, created quite an uproar. So did the performance 8 months later by a ~~two tour~~ (edit, he was booted after a year) vet playing an upside down stratocater in rural new york.

I submit, that true respect for one's flag and country would have one stand and place ones hand over one's heart regardless of the quality of the performance.

For example, the Hillary-looking woman in the photo above.

You have a point there. Of course that was before his alcohol and cocaine addictions. Maybe that's what turned him into an idiot.
