    It's the Star Spangled Banner. John Edwards doesn't have his hand over his heart either off to the right. None of them are facing the flag.

    It's like watching a baseball game.

    I was assuming maybe Obama was waiting for a different flag to salute. Another shock..Hillary does have a heart, or at least she knows where to place her hand lol!

    Maybe Barak is trying to hide the wood he's sporting for HC if either of the two win the nomination the other will be the Veep

    Ok I guess this happened back in NOV..I just saw it posted up somewhere today...I just missed it back then...here is his response...
    Obama Spokesman Bill Burton Said Obama Was Not "Making Any Sort Of Statement, And Any Suggestion To The Contrary Is Ridiculous. "Asked whether Obama normally puts his hand over his heart while listening to the national anthem, Obama spokesman Bill Burton replied by e-mail: "Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. In no way was he making any sort of statement, and any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous."

    I still think someone runnign for office should look like they give a crap...IMO

    I agree. Looks like only the last 2 are looking at the flag, and maybe both have their hands on their hearts too.

    I worry about Obahma, if he goes to a hurricane state looks like the SS wil have to hold him down physically, it would be horrible to have a president litterally get blown away by a strong gust of wind,

    I read that the actual Old Glory for the ceremony was off to the right of the bandstand where they were standing. In that case, Barack was correct to be facing that flag, the flag behind them is just a banner. Military members are supposed to either salute or put hand over heart depending on if they're in uniform or not.

    Hopefully, the winner will get the salute/flag briefing, hehehe...

    Obama's full name is : Barack Hussein Obama
    Wonder if he is related to the former Dictator of Iraq?
