  • Does anyone else find it just as bad that he didn't put his hand over his heart for the National Anthem?

  • @BoyScout464 fantastic point. it is just as important

  • @dartanyon44

    And here I thought conservatives hated individual mandates. :)

  • to continue... not pleading lol.. but pledging.. and with the Pledge of Allegiance... hand over the heart wasn't always done.. it was hands at side and when you said "the flag" you raised your hand outward to the flag... just before WW2 this was considered to much like a fascist salute and hence hand over the heart.. This is when the flag code was adopted,(1942) so, must have been doing it wrong all you folks(99%) in the 50s, 60's, 70's into the 80's... I prefer no hand but fly the flag often.

  • ok, folks... hmmm let's see... In the 60's and 70's and for most in the 80's and until 9/11 very few put their hand over their heart during the anthem. Stand to attention and face the flag was appropriate, and for me I think still is..It was a hero of mine, Ronald Reagan, that help popularize this. Though, apparently in the flag code it says to. Of course if a civilian is wearing a hat, you remove it and place it at your shoulder... For me the code is incorrect, hand over heart when pleading..

  • This is why I have stopped watching TV! These MSNBC anchors are like whores' being paid by their long legged mack daddy, Obama, to sit there and side with him lest they lose their cushy gig. Traitors!

  • "This was the Star Spangled Banner, not the pledge of allegiance" I can't believe these words came out of his mouth. Wait, I do believe it. Really Hussein Obama? I don't expect a Muslim Socialist to know the United States Code, 36 U.S.C. § 301. Least of all,

    to feel any PATRIOTISM when he hears our National Anthem. Obama, you sir are a MORON!

  • that was on live tv.... look it up and do research... all his promises are lies. they were then and they are now, they always will be.. NO to a re-election of obama if you wanna vote for him then stay home before you totally destroy this country. no start with the name calling cause you know im right if you research and have no defense except childish name calling games. I truly feel sorry for this country and my kids future if a majority are like this. which they are or we wouldnt have obama

  • if a white stood there saying yes ive gone to kkk meetings for decades but i dont believe all of whats said and their not a racist, everyone would crucify him. but because he's black he can get away with listening to racist sermons then say he's not racist and everyone buys it... really...... well look at the country now we are WORSE than we were, he's bombing liyba with no authorization. even a democratic senator said that was a impeachable offense but they werent gonna look to impeach him.

  • this picture only shows the democrats find the actual aired report and you will see the republic side of stage facing more of the flag. this was the national anthem and as americans you put your hand over your heart. the rest of democrats was why does he feel he shouldnt. he is a socialist plain and simple. when it came out his pastor preached racist sermons and obama stood there and said he didnt believe in what was being said. yall bought it. he went there for decades.

  • @dartanyon44 Of course no one in this picture is doing what they're supposed to be doing: Facing the flag!

  • i DO NOT enforce common sense to someone im making fun of. and yes i can fit everything that i have said and will have to say to you later on in one word. but because you are actually responding to me in partially "logical" manner i guess ill give you a sentence. you THINK your playing on a different level by TRYING to insult me in a logical manner, but your not. lol. if i were you i would have already just ignored on my last reply. talk about "marine disciplined" pfttt im testing you .looo

  • now hes gonn reply back with YOU CALL THAT SARCASM? LAWL LAWL LAWL. .

  • @legitworker Sarcasm eh? I'm not sure if you've realized it yet, but sarcasm doesn't really work on the internet unless you can hear a tone of voice to emphasize or if you add *sarcastic* next to it. And whats with the 5 responses vs my one? Can't fit enough ignorance into just one? Not gonna lie, you've given me something to laugh at, but believe it or not stupidity does stop being laughable after awhile. Rather than trying to just throw insults try using common sense and logic, if possible.

  • @MAJICB0B you, being obsessed with common sense, will say, noooooo sarcasm doesnt work on the internet!!!!!!!!!! use common sense and logic you idiooTTTTTTT a snake doesnt have an armm u idioTT. - - loooooooooooooooooooooool

  • @MAJICB0B eat your own words, and swallow it down hard.

  • @legitworker lol. Half of the stuff you're saying doesn't even make any sense. Also, I never said Marine, if you were able to read and retain any kind of knowledge, I said Navy. Also, I never directly insulted you, you're the one trying to troll Youtube videos. You gave me a reply, and I gave you a straight forward reply back. Unfortunately, I no longer have time to play your troll games, I have a family to be with this Holiday Season. So, this will be my last reply, enjoy trolling.

  • @MAJICB0B now this is the logical thing to do. merry christmas.

  • still i recall what i seen and said 3 days ago. not bad. tap in the back.

    i wish i can be a kid again but sarcasm is the only way to be one again. but mr magicbob has to question my way of sarcasm.

  • oo wait did i just give it away? here ill tell you its because i recall you paraphrasing your points on your other reply to another dude. LOL ahahaha do you really have all that time on your hands mr marine? LOLLLLLLL here fetch this cookie.

  • LOOOOOOOOOOOL now guess why i am laughing at you this time. and write it down in paraphrase. and then ill give you another cookie.

  • i dont get why obama should be hated.

  • US boarder guards are faggots. When my time comes im gonn go shoot those muthufukers.

  • Just a curious question(i'm not trying to start an argument just understand everything) if non-military Americans are supposed to have their right hand over their heart and face the flag then why has no one made a big deal about those people on stage NOT facing the flag during the anthem? To me not facing the Flags during any countries is Extremely disrespectful no matter if it is your country or not.

  • @RavenMichaels your wrong simple shit like ths shows that he is not for america its ignorant pepole like you is the reason why this country is shit. Its little things like this that matters.

  • o m g.......he blak

  • wait, so why wasn't his hand on his heart when they were singing...?

  • @dartanyon44 Its true. The real question is whether or not it was intentional?

  • Go worry about something that matters. I'm so tired of people worrying about meaningless stuff like this, and yes, it is meaningless. A simple gesture doesn't mean a thing...

  • @RavenMichaels yes a simple gesture doesnt mean much but this is the president not putting his hand over his heart. He is now the most powerful man in the world and he makes a mistake like this. THIS IS REALLY SOMEHTING THAT MATTERS!!!!!!

  • What does it matter?

  • It also states that the Star Spangled Banner is the National Anthem

    (a) Designation.— The composition consisting of the words and music known as the Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem.

  • Then stand at ATTENTION... unfold your hands... Show your god damn pride for this country.... you are nothing but lies.... RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get a Real Man to do the job... I fight for this country so you can disrespect what it stands for.

  • @ThaMarine3521 RON PAUL is the only hope for this country along with the Libertarian Party, I agree with you brother, but after having Bush and Obama for the last 10 years I can't imagine the trend of electing fiscally inept douchebags will stop in my lifetime. They use our taxes like it's their daddies platinum mastercard. Good to see a servicemember who understands who RON PAUL is and what he stands for. RON PAUL 2012

  • You still put your hand over your heart during the NATIONAL ANTHEM!!!!!! you effing TARD! "It was just the national anthem" is not a good excuse mr. president, you idiot.

  • The below is right and as the president he should have known that you place your right hand over your heart when the national anthem is played but he is only human and everyone makes mistakes but as the president of the united states of america he should have known and rendered the proper courtesies

  • This is why nobody watches MS-NBC. They aren't very bright. I wouldn't watch them if I were a liberal. How is a Presidential candidate protesting the national anthem not important. He didn't forget to do it. He chose to. There is a reason for it. Obviously someone needs to corner President Obama and get a real answer out of him. I challenge you, watch the whole video and tell me he isn't protesting.

  • Right. When the national anthem is played and the flag is in sight, you stand and place your hand over your heart. PMSNBC is not the best new source out there.

  • Obama is a complete liar and his poll numbers are in the toilet now because Amerca now knows he is a fake puppet president

  • Yeah is there any way we can get a new president? NOW??

  • I put my hand on my heart when our national anthem is played and so does everyone I know.

  • Wow, they sound like dummys.

  • I don't get it, they still don't explain why he didn't have his hand over his heart, they just blabbered on about nothing.

  • They didn't have to say it.. Obama did.

    "It was the star spangled banner, not the pledge of allegiance."

    I don't put my hand over my heart during the national anthem either.. does that make me un-american?

  • Your're not the Commander in Chief either, there are certain responsibilities and courtesies that come with this office.

  • Hey Harvie.... Obama cannot get you into Heaven. Also, you should be thankful for guns.... they have protected us for some time now.

  • taxation is the answer, US needs to heavily tax sports players, actors/actresses, and musicians, they don't need to make 10-30 million a year while the rest of us actually does back breaking work for 25,000 a year, its a farce, and its now the most sought after jobs as opposed to teachers doctors etc etc, people would rather become sports stars or musicians, just for the money, so we heavily tax them, and actually use it for something more important

  • Taxation is not the answer to anything. I agree with what you say about salaries for celebrities, though. There's an easy solution to it. Quit going to the movies, sporting events, and concerts. We are the reason those people make their money. We freely give it to them every time we attend their events. If we quit doing that, their money would dry out real fast- then it would go somewhere else. Where it goes is up to us, and what we agree to spend it on. That's the way capitalism works.

  • that's theft. it's also a pretty pathetic petty jealousy. If you punish success and talent then no one will want to try anyway. What you suggest is communism, which sounds great in theory but always leads to loss of freedom, dictarships usually

    If you want to tax something then tax imports and foreign businesses working in america so our businesses can compete with their cheap labor. should revive the whole economy.

    Of course modern U.S. government wastes every penny it gets anyway

  • wow listen to the leftist doggies try to defend Obummer. How many sheeple just lapped it up? Everyone knows when you play the anthem or the pledge, YOU PUT YOUR DAMN HAND OVER YOUR HEART! Kindergarten children learn this ffs.

  • He did'nt go to kindergarden here. He's not from USA

  • why dont all those gang banging, hip, fly, riding on 24's, poetic genius R.A.P.P.E.R.S. donate to the schools in, uhhh, compton? dont they make enough??? it all has to do with the kids environment, and parenting. they're parents TEACH them about, UNCLE TOM. "hes bad". "we dont get enough well fare"? who sucks up all the room in the prisons??? anyone can rap, and blacks are being led into shit thats came and past..........

  • Hmm... they discussed the controversy, but didn't explain it. It was the national anthem, nobody's disputing that. But what do you do when it is played?

  • Because he's a Muslim and he's going to destroy America.

    And I'm Scottish, not American!

  • I love my Obama-baby!

  • You Republicans are just sore because Bungler McCain and Carribou Barbie got thumped in the last election. Get over it.

  • no we hate his policies you fuckin dope! now get off my net!

  • hmm last i checked you are supposed to put your hand over your heart during the anthem. even if it wasn't, why wouldn't you want to anyway?

  • Oh yeah, ..did you notice?

    The original videos of this Presidential candidate (now our President) refusing to put his hand over his heart for our National Anthem have recently been removed!!!!

    ----

    I guess that truth pissed somebody off, eh??

    Somebody couldn't back up their formerly declared protest bravado with a continued commitment, ..and now he is hiding behind his wild threats afforded by his position, and his Federal lawyers!

    ----

    "America, ..the Home of the lied to!"

    ----

  • Hah!! ..the "Morning Joe" boot-lickers!!!

    ===

    Obama refuses to put his hand on heart for the National Anthem!!

    ----

    ..and you say "Hey, That's alright with me!!!"

    ----

    You'd better keep up your apple polishing, Morning Joe, ..or Barack won't let you have a car next year!!!

    Hah!!!!

  • FUCK OBAMA, IMPEACH HIM NOW

  • we both know we are not going to change our opinions so id rather end this debate now and just agree to disagree.

  • and my final point. it just shows respect for your country that you put your hand over your heart. and that wasnt even the biggest part of my argument. it would show respect by putting your hand over your heart but its your choice. and i say you voted for obama because of the skin color because you mention two white presidents bush and clinton. look im just stating an opinion with a few facts. you have your opinion and i have mine. you and i know we could just argue forever but we both know we

  • ok here is my rebuttle. first of all when you say you actually had a choice. you mean just because a black man is running for president you had a choice. it sounds to me like you proved my point there that you voted for him because of the skin color. and yes i agree with you a tiny bit about palin she did use the word maverick to much. third. i would think that a man would be proud to wear the pin of the colors of the country that he is leading. and my final point.

  • nah didnt vote because of skin color. I named two white presidents because there hasn't been any presidents of different color. and also i mentioned kennedy and clinton because that was when Blacks had a choice. they both represented all people and not just the rich white people. and putting your hand over your heart maybe disrespectful to somes religion. I don't think you read my statement all the way through but yea we can agree to disagree.

  • all i know is that every time i go to a baseball game (alot) when the national anthem comes on you are required to put your hand over your heart. STUPID democrats and STUPID obama

  • FACTS matter.

    You are not required to put your hand over your heart during this song.

    You ARE required to put your hand over your heart to The Pledge of Allegiance.

    Facts about Obama and the Pledge of Allegiance

  • Ahhh haaa look at how pathetic you republican pundants have become. You squandered America's wealth by electing a moron for 8 years which only paved the way for a democrat to win congress and the White House. Take your medicine like men you effing cowards. This is the problem why you morons lost...because you spend too much time focusing on insignificant things in the face of failed policies & defeat. You tried to tell America that republican leadership is better but look where 8yrs got us.

  • and it should not matter what it was either, the pledge or the anthem. you should still respect the country you are running.

  • i guess my point is people can be moronic while even choosing the president. they would rather pick the president based on color rather than their political point of view. what is this world coming to. if anybody thinks im wrong i have no trouble debating this subject. and remember i gave you facts so think before sending me a message.

  • Ok im guessing no one else wanted to debate with you so I'll give it a go.

    1. it isnt required to put your hand over your heart

    2. a flag pin is pretty silly, we put the flag on everything from t shirt's to wash clothes, not much respect to the flag in those so why care about it?

    3. Im black and honestly I believe that having a black president would help America's image. I voted for him because he was the best choice. McCain seemed like he was leaving it all up to palin and thats scary as fuck

  • Yea and so far the whole black president thing has died off. Yay we have black president(Few months ago) Shit he is just like and worse then president bush!(Now)

  • Why is he worse? cause of the stimulus bill? one bill that could in fact bring the economy back? Sooo your saying that the stimulus bill is far more worse than 8 years of lying about reasons for war, torturing prisoners, killing innocent people of other countries, spending more money on war than the U.S education system and pretty much making an ass of america.....you really think that 4 months of obama is worse than that? really?

  • Yes, Because he continues to follow and push the Bush Administration policies that were very confrontational at the time, but its ok if obama has done it. Now president bushes stimulus package is what is giving the boost right now, we will see how obamas stimulus works out in the next few months. Well the U.S. Educational system is a piece of shit, personally they should stop funding it all together, because it does not work. Now what you are saying is your mad at bush because euros are mad?

  • Im saying it doesnt help to be looked at as the fuck up country of the world. When most of the world hates you there is a problem. We should be giving more funds to the education system. It was the lack of funds that fucked it up in the first place. Kids do not have the resources that they should in a world where technology is supreme. Yet the military are upgrading on new weapons every 3-4 months. We spend more on death than we do on educating our country.

  • I understand, it sucks that we are not the "American Idol", but we used to never give a shit about what other countries think and that is the way the founders meant it to be. Now you can not blame the education system on funding. It is over funded as it is. You should start blaming the dumbass kids who want to be gang bangers and the kids with pussy parents who dont believe in spanking their children. To first be educated, you have to be disciplined. I say beat the shit out of the kids in school

  • It isnt over funded! when your text books are older than the building and school library books havent been updated since 1999 then there is a funding problem. When schools cant afford musical instruments and gym equipment looks like crap then there isnt enough funding. See I see what happens in the system. Those "gangbangers" you speak of dream of playing drums, trumpet, and piano. They dream of great things but funding makes it just that...dreams

  • Well that does sound like your city or state has not been doing there job. Most inner city schools are like that, and have the lowest scores in the world. Now in some countries they would be happy to have text books at all. Now what you do is take the material that you have study the shit out of it, because the tests will be on that material and you should do fine. Everybody has dreams, but i do not think band is the cause of people going uneducated.

  • education is more than just passing test. If I gave you a book on modern psychology and its dated 1988 and gave you a test today yea you might pass my test but your blind to the fact that those theories and those concepts are way different. education is about learning and using what you have learned in the outside world. inner city schools have the most intelligent kids but they don't have the resources to shine like they should

  • yea thats why their schools are in disrepair..they get no funding. funny that schools in predominantly white districts dont have the same problem. its a cultural issue not a tax issue

  • wrong. it is a tax issue. the US spent so much money on war and forgot about the most intelligent and the most creative. you go to those predominantly white districts and what do they pride themselves in? sports. you go to inner city schools and what do kids ask for the most? music, art, decent books, a chance to shine. But they never get that because of the US wasting money on bullshit. fuck the other countries. fix the shit in this one first

  • how much money would it take to give each of the poor a frickin recorder? would that make their lives any more significant ? how about these rich hip hop artists allowing each one of these kids some time in their studios? they could afford to give back to their community! does FuBu build a factory in the hood to provide jobs to the poor or southpole? how long till the taxpayers back is broken? quite frankly i'm sick of givin up what i earn to those who don't!

  • you forget that it is whites, blacks, asians, hispanics, and arabs who paid taxes for you. Tax payers arent just white or just rich. tax payers are citizens of this country and why should we continue to fund the rich but not the poor? why do we color coordinate our spending? im not talking about just blacks or just whites. im talking about the inner cities of our country. why cut music and the arts? why not educate with the same resources as other countries? your talkin race im talkin education

  • have you ever been employed by the poor? unless you are a gov. employee or a politician or a teacher then a rich person probably gave you a job. why the attack on the rich? i'm saying that taxation is not the answer i am asking why those that have made their way out of the innercity don't do more to bring people out of the innercity most of those people are black so that means its a race/cultural issue

  • no its not a race/cultural problem. this country has tried to make it a race/cultural problem however if you sit a black and a white child down and you feed the educational interests the same then you will notice that both children will grow to be successful however if one child is fed differently than the other then you notice a drastic change. I know how it is because i was in the middle of it and i have seen how under funding affects the youth

  • whit all due respect sir...you are thick

  • and also did you realize more african americans had the biggest turnout to vote in us history. i even had my own servey i just plain asked. and you can call me racist but this is a fact. i just asked every black person i saw vote. just out of curiosity and i even asked whites this. i asked why did you vote for obama. 80% to 85% said because they just wanted to see a black president.

  • maybe we had the biggest turnout because we actually had a choice this time. look at every other election in the past and see how many choices we actually had. 1.Kennedy 2. Bill Clinton......both good but both taken away. We actually had a choice, we could vote for Obama and get the president that represents us in a positive light or vote for McCain who doesnt give a shit about us...we had someone who didnt give a shit about us for 8 years...why go for 4 more?

  • reguardless, reguardless you should still show respect for the customs and traditions of the country you are running and calling an american flag pin a silly little pin is just outright rediculous. and i thought a man that was not american born could not run for political office. come on people he has no respect for this country and ran just to be the first black in office.

  • Does anyone in Barry's administration pay their taxes?

  • Why would they do that, when they can just raise ours?

  • and this brings up another one of Obama's lies. Fine, even if he did do the hand over his heart for the Pledge, then he didn't for the Anthem right for "religious beliefs" right? Thats a load of bull and you all know it. He said he was Christian, and if he was, why would it go against religious beliefs? He either lied about his religion or his reason. Either way, the idiots that voted for him didnt have common sense to figure out thats he cant be right with both of those stories.

  • @MAJICB0B during the national anthem your hands are suppose to be to the sides of your body not on the heart. hands-on- heart only during pledge of alligence. most idiots in americans dont know this though. they get the two confused.

  • @aferg76 Ok, first of all, if your going to make an argument, you should avoid a few things, 3 of which you just did. 1.) Don't reply to my comment after a year of it being posted, in an attempt to make me appear ignorant, it just makes you look stupid. 2) When you call someone else an idiot, use proper grammar in doing so or it just bites you in the ass. 3) I'm in the Navy, if your going to try and tell me that the military supports its country incorrectly, your just a moron.

  • @MAJICB0B i think the US military is corrupt. just like its government.

    PLUS i would rather have obama as president than bush. or clinton. and kids please making utube vids after watching things once. dont be like fox news. teacher said be rational. FOX news believes everything a monkey tell it and put it on news. just to say later that they never knew it was a monkey.

  • @MAJICB0B CAN YOU FIND THE GRAMMAR AND TYPOS HERE? SINCE YOUR REALLY OUTDATED MAKING BIG DEAL ABOUT GRAMMAR THATS OLD COMEBACKS .JUST LIKE YO MAMA ON U TUBE.

  • @legitworker lol, outdated like typing in all caps to make yourself sound big?

  • @MAJICB0B im talking to you on a HIGHER TONE....sound big..ha ha ha...NICE ONE. that wasnt funny but why am i laughing when i see that. hmmmmm hey what kind of grammar error did i make here? ill give you can download a cookie if you correct it for me. just butt plug your usb and your vagina will dispense one for ya. yumm

  • @legitworker lmao What are you even trying to say? It sounds like your 10 year old brother taught you how to insult someone. Also, since you're actually asking me to correct you, I'll be more than happy to do so.

    1.) Capitalize a letter after a period. That's probably the most basic mistake you can make.

    2.) "ill" is a word meaning sickness, if you mean "I will" you type it as I'll.

    3.) (Copied straight from you)---> "ill give you can download a cookie if you correct it for me. "

    Enough said lol

  • @MAJICB0B *you're

  • @MAJICB0B whatever

  • Obama you call yourself an american when you don't even show respect for this country, when you dont put your hand over your heart during the national anthem! pathetic

  • And yes there is a title code for the Hand over the Heart. Look it up! Most American's know the Hand Over the Heart during the Pledge or the National Anthem as a respect for Our Country. He has showed disrespect for our Country, for the Bible and for God! Enouch said.

  • Jeremyguru Obama did Mock the Bible. Lev., Deut. and the Sermon on the Mound. There are several videos of this. I'm not going to argue with you over a pin. The whole point is he didn't show patriastism when he didn't place his hand over his heart during the National Anthem either. The pin had become a symbol when worn after 9-11. To remember those that had died in the towers. No Christian would of ever made the statements he so chose to make when referring to these Chapters of the Bible. Check!

  • Anyway, when all is said and done, Obama is not a patriotic American because all the others put there hand on their heart and he didn't, because he is not really an American. He is Kenyan/Indonesian.

  • Oh, so their playing the national anthem and not the pledge of allegance. Well that makes it all better. Isn't it funny watching the media try to patch things up for him. Thats because the owners of the media are the same owners of the Fed, and Bilderberg, which put Obama in office.

  • STUPID PEOPLE ALERT!

    Why is ONE PICTURE taken during ONE EVENT enough to define a persons allegiance or the lack thereof?

    Show me THE SAME THING during MORE THAN ONE EVENT & maybe I'll consider the accusation!

  • He also refused to wear the flag on his chest. But I noticed he is wearing it now so I'm guessing they told him he had to or it would look even worse for him. LOL

  • did you know there are videos of John McCain not wearing the flag pin on his chest to? hmm....

  • Ok Chaotic it's not the matter of the flag pin. It's the fact he disrespected our own flag by turning his back on it and not honoring our National Athem. It shows his lack of Love for his own Country.

  • Chaotic the pin is minimal to the fact that Obama literally showed us all that he doesn't stand for America. He literally may as well as spit on the flag or maybe stand on it like his buddy Mr.Ayers. His lack in patriatism towards our Country is unjustifable. Nor is his mocking the Bible either. No plausible excuse can be given for this lack in honoring not only Our Nation but the very sacred words held dear by many. Including the Nation Anthem!

  • Obama hasn't mocked the bible. He has stated repeatedly that he's a Christian.

    There is no law that states you must put your hand on your chest during the anthem. Obama stood ATTENTIVELY during the anthem and applauded when it concluded. He showed respect.

    Why don't you come up with an intelligent reason for disliking Obama?

  • False, he did mock the Bible in one of his speeches. look it up. And if he were Christian, why would this Anthem go against his religious beliefs, when this nation was founded on Chrstianity, and the Anthem was written based on the pride of our nation and our religion. face it, you're wrong, we're right, he may have won, but it's only because people like you are easily manipulated. Look at hard-core facts when measuring someone up, dont look at race or age because thats how we just get fucked.

  • If the U.S. is founded on Christianity why is there no mention of Yahweh, Jesus or Christianity in the Constitution? Hmm... You'd think that the Founding Fathers would have made a point to mention such an important detail.

    The fact that they left Christianity OUT of the Constitution is very telling.

    I know, the truth hurts.

  • dude... have you ever listened to the pledge?

    i agree, but christianity was a big part of life then

  • The phrase "under god" was inserted into the Pledge in 1954. Now , if you're wondering why it was inserted, that will require some research on your part.

    "i agree, but christianity was a big part of life then" Yeah, radical Islam is a big part of our lives too. What's your point?

  • There are videos/photos other politicians not wearing flag pins. Does that make them unpatriotic?

  • no they can still be patriotic but u dont have to wear a pin

  • United States Code, 36 U.S.C. § 301, states that during the playing of "The Star Spangled Banner" (United States National Anthem) when the flag is displayed, everyone except those in uniform should stand at attention while facing the flag with their right hand over their heart.

  • Very good!

  • I don't get why he doesn't put his hand over his heart. It doesn't make any sense to me, but what's even more unnerving is the news people talking about how only certain parts of the news are reported and this carries no weight.....it's blatantly obvious that he is the media's candidate---Why would they protect him by discrediting their profession??

  • So, why is he not taking the proper stance during the national anthem?

  • Okay, so your mother sent it to you 47 times...apparently you're not getting the picture and your mom knows how dumb you are.

    It's a sign of respect to the colors to put your hand over your heart when the National Anthem plays, and the military is required to salute. How about a little respect to them country and the citizens that helped spawn your ignorant ass.

    Also, its nice of you to point out that since the campaign will not respond quickly, your "unbiased" affiliate will.

    Jackasses.

  • everone else felt right to do the hand over heart.

    NO MATTER WHAT IT WAS.

    Hey Philly nice race shot

  • The media wants you to think he is the best thing since sliced bread. He is not for America, he is a ....

    ....piece of work...see I am trying to be nice. I did not vote the sonofagun in everybody else did.

    He is NOT for America got it?

  • if you go to any place in america where people love this country and they were playing this song every single one of them would have there hand over there heart every one even hilary clinton had there hand over there heart

  • It's not his race, it's about his policies and how he wants to change America by taking away more rights. The real terrorist are the ones feeding you lies on the news. I hope you people are ready for the NAU. McCain would have been just as bad. You ever wonder why they don't ever cover candidates who speak the truth? The media can sway Americans easily because you are bred to be dumb.

  • The North American Union is a scare tactic created by radicals who want to incite fear. Much like the WMD's supposedly in Iraq. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

  • Scare tactic? Why don't you do some research on it and search for it on Youtube. If they talk about the NAU on the news networks, than what makes you think it's fake? There is a very good possibility this will happen because of the depreciation of the dollar.

  • If you're referring to Fox news, then you've been mislead. Most news stations are biased networks thanks to their benefactors' deep pockets.  If you want to see the news as is truly is, watch broadcasts from a different country. Then maybe you'll get the facts. If you believe everything you see on Youtube you're misinformed as well.

  • Obama, you offer no change. You swing that word around but it has no meaning. Being a minority myself and serving in the Iraq War. I look pass your exterior and look inside your TRUE intentions. The only change you provide is dismantling our constitution and taking away our rights. That is way you voted for the Patriotic Act like McCain. You are anti 2nd amendment and now taking money away from more Americans. You people should judge a person by their moral character, not race.

  • What a pathetic excuse for a counrty this is, electing a man like this. Only the national anthem my ass. This man has no business even stepping foot in the white house. He's a disgrace to everything this country stands for, or stood for, i should say.

  • you're a racist hick. go chew on some more straw

  • "this 'Obama isn't patriotic' rediculous story."

    Yes, a man who doesn't like to wear an American flag pin or put his hand over his heart might NOT like America? Why would ANYONE think that. Just because he doesn't visibly show any respect for America unless it involves how he's going to change it to his own will, doesn't mean the guy doesn't love it with all his heart.

    Wonder how much of the media calling this rediculous people withstood before they started actually believing it?

  • who so it the natinal anthem not the pledge BIG DEAL it basicly the same how could any one support him on this?

  • Good bye America, it was nice knowing you...

    I pledge alligience, to the flag, of Kenya, and to the empire, for which it stands, 2 nations, under Allah, divisible, with liberty and justice for some.

    America is going to hell

    R.I.P. America 1776-2008

    copy and paste if you supported McCain

  • LMFAO who cares what fucking SONG it is, he stood there like he was from another country, and we should be ASHAMED of him.

  • stupid liberal news reporters should stop kissing obama ass

  • Why wont Obama allow the public to see the doctor-generated, hospital releseased birth certificate?

  • because he was actually born in kenya, in order for a person to be president- they have to be born in the US....oh people say he was born in hawaii MY ASS he has a brother in kenya where his mom is from... and he wont even put his hand over his heart? HES IN AMERICA!

  • Retard. Get your facts straight. It's his father who was born in Kenya, his mother was born in Kansas and then her family moved to Honolulu.

  • wow, he's smart! it WASNT the pledge of allegiance. he made a great point! everyone else just assumed that they had to put their hand over their heart. what douche bags!

  • well... he will be required to as president... you put your hand over your heart during the national anthem while standing at attention when not in uniform... and as president... you're commander-in-chief... this means you are considered part of the military and follow military courtesies

  • So Obama didn't cross his heart while someone was singing the "Star Spangled Banner"?????????

    I've been to tons of sporting events and never "crossed my heart" during the Star Spangled Banner.

    You're not expected to. Standing is the usual "tradition", or taking your hat off if you're an athlete.

    How does this make Barrack Obama "bad"?

  • u un-patriotic ASS put ur hand over ur heart u panzi tree hugger. Its the United States of America have some damn pride.

  • "It wasn't the Pledge of Alliegence, not the Star Spangled Banner" what kind of crap is that. So what if it's not the Star Spangled Banner I put mt hand over my heart for both of them.

  • You're not expected to. Standing is the usual "tradition", or taking your hat off if you're an athlete.

  • Im blown away by how many republicans in this country,when they find out they are being deliberately lied to about obama ,have no problem with being lied to by the very people they trust to give them information.Lies dont matter as long as it fuels their racism and fear.

    republicans would be outraged if dems found out they were being lied to by thier news orgs and still kept blindly going down the same path. but repubs have no issue with being proven gossips and liars every minute.

  • vote republican save America

  • Vote republican and get ready for WW3 ... Dumbass

  • This country is in deep sh** if this man gets voted in folks. DEEP.

  • He only salutes the hammer and cicle.

  • You are so arrogant. You seriously disgust me. Go watch some more propaganda and drink some more American Fear Kool-Ade.

  • Bitch stop hating, i bet his ass will toast with a fucking glass of kool aid when he run our fucking country. Take you hilbilly ass and go clean some shit.

  • I think you should stay in school little girl, learn a bit more about the world you live in before you make political statements that you don't understand.

  • Did you mean sickle?

  • haha "" love how obvious this stupid fk makes it so obvious how much he loves obama.

  • My ancestors had to fight for this flag. Of course no one in Obama's family ever fought for this country so why should they give a shit?

  • Shit I'm just burning my birth cert and claiming I'm illegal!! Free food, free health care, free education, minority status, ACLU watchin my back.. Sounds good to me. I'll be proud to be an illegal American!!

  • My future illegal american, why don't you use the legal recourse. Call immigration and repot the illegals! Stop complaining and do something about it!!

  • I'll admit that it doesn't look good that he does not have his hand over his heart although everyone else on stage does. However, if we could go back and look at the percentage of all of those who are disgusted by this event, we would find some hypocrites. I'd still rather have someone who's more qualified, doesn't play on fear, promotes hope, reconciles the economy similar to what it was in the 90's, is more focused on America's restoration, has more integrity and most of all THINKS!!!
