and he wants to be our president. So whats his excuse this time? Now you know why I dislike the liberal left.

Have a look at the photo from the October 1, 2007 edition of "Time." It shows Obama, Hillary and Bill Richardson at the Steak Fry of Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) on September 17 in Indianola, IA during [according to the photo caption] the National Anthem. Richardson and Clinton have their hands on their heart. But not Obama. Does he perhaps believe that, like wearing the flag pin, the hand on the heart isn't "true patriotism"?

I just love how peoples hate for our president shines through to every facet of politics and base everything on that. Look outside the box please. These 2 things have nothing to do with each other.

I hope that people look outside the box and consider for just a moment that the photo may not actually be what a media group is implying that it is. Question everything!

Hate probably isn't the best word. Sheer disgust, embarrassment, illiterate... those might be better words regarding Bush.

Anyone else notice that Hillary appears to be holding a boob in place vs. covering her heart?

Stop!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! that is to darn funny!!!!!!!!

A Jehovah's Witness wouldn't run for government. The only thing they should be doing as far as the government is pay taxes. Of course, NewsBusters is a conservative blog.

So we should only trust news from liberal blogs?

I take info from both sides and meet in the middle. You know, the whole three sides to the truth thing. Everyone has an agenda.

As much as I try not to judge, I am no better than the next guy and I do judge. IF this picture is correct and the statement is correct that Obama did not place his hand on is heart during the National Anthem, then shame shame on him. The Flag and our National Anthem stands for America. The President also stands for America. If the President has no respect for America, then get the hell out of it. And that goes for anyone who does not respect the Flag and Country our forefathers have fault for with their lives. Stop and think! Freedom is NOT Free. "In my opinion, Love it or leave it!"

Yes I know. You've stated that before. I was responding to the comment about liberal news blogs. I read info from conservative and liberal blogs and then I try to glean the truth by going down the middle. I watch Fox and CNN. The truth is usually in between them.

If other countries have presidents do they stand for America too?

A minor flub on Obama's part but very insignificant considering how intellectually stimulating he is. After listening to absolute idiocy for the past 7 years and watching Bush make a mockery of being in the most powerful position in the world, Obama is a much needed and refreshing breeze of competency this country so desperately needs.

:faint:I am a left leaning liberal, but he isn't my Presidential choice--I do know that this is America and there are a few religions that ask their followers not to salute the flag, or recite the Pledge. Maybe he is a Jehovah's Witness...I don't know...My candidates Patriotism isn't one of my top concerns. Wearing a flag, or properly holding ones hand over heart during the anthem does not necessarily make them a Patriotic person, maybe a grandstander or poser, like shrubby in his pick up truck and cowboy hat.

If he was a Jehovah's Witness he wouldnt be in politics..as they are completely neutral on all political issues. Thats why they dont say the pledge. But when in a situation where the pledge is being said they stand and show respect.

Funny how this pic and some quotes came from a "Liberal" media bashing website...

Can you provide a direct to this article on the time magazine website. It seems rather funny that this is the first time one is hearing about this, and I watch Fox, CNN, and MSNBC...I am sure one of these news channels, especially FOX would've ran away with this!!
