We see you for what you are
Special thanks to one of my readers, Lisa, who pointed me to this story via email:
BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) - Barack Obama complained on Wednesday about an Internet photo that claims the Democratic presidential candidate didn't hold his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance.
"This is so irritating," Obama said when asked about the photo in Muscatine, Iowa.
The photo, which has circulated widely on the Internet, was taken in September during Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin's annual Democratic fundraiser. A message accompanying the photo claims Obama didn't observe the pledge.
Obama said the photo was taken during the singing of the national anthem, not the pledge.
Yeah well. Read the United States Code Obama, and specifically, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171:
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart.
The man who would be president. Bah!

He sure is full of it. If he was standing next to my husband and I at oh let's say a baseball game or a football game, and he stood up and did not put his hand on his heart while our anthem was being sung. I would have confronted him as soon as it was finished. Yep, I never would let that slide, no way. He is a POS from head to toe. And he is dreaming if he thinks he qualifies to be President.

Nice try at damage control Hussein, the picture doesn't lie, even the scumbags he was with showed proper respect, this POS is arrogant in his demeanor towards impugning everything traditional American's respect.
