THis is another gaff that gets Rep. in a great deal of trouble.
Its almost like Republicans think they are doing God's work
and the others are heathens. No feeling for the constitution.

i remember when people fussed about obama not wearing a flag pin on his lapel. as i pointed out to my co-workers who mentioned it, 'i don't see one on you either'. that usually made the point and ended the discussion.

also see where some criticized obama for not holding his hand over his heart during the anthem-where it's actually not 'required' as it is during the pledge (you're pledging allegiance, hence covering the heart). BUT, some of the same people critical of him are the same ones i see at football games here on friday night chatting away during the bands playing of the same anthem. drives me batty-along with the poorly done flag raising-another thing that sticks in my craw.

If you watch the whole several minutes video of that campaign appearance (rather than the photoshopped picture Dell posted and popular on all the far, far righty websites), it shows Obama clearly and loudly singing the national anthem, Hillary looking out into the audience, the other candidates on the rest of the stage (GOP, Joe Biden, etc) turned around away from the audience facing the flag at the back of the stage. And the young person singing the national anthem ... calling it cat screetching would be kind
