Hand Over Heart
Oct. 9th, 2008 12:00 amApparently our Senator Barack Hussein Obama is not patriotic enough to always sing the anthem or say the allegiance to the flag and I'm not even talking about just holding hand over heart during the anthem.
Yes it is Obama and there's actually a video of it. I know it's from 2007 but I've never heard about it and it shocked me. And I would let it slide - happens to everyone maybe even to elected into office Senators if it wasn't for Obama campaign spokesperson saying that "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." The senator himself said that "My grandfather taught me when I was 2. During the Pledge of Allegiance, you put your hand over your heart. During the national anthem, you sing."
I guess his grandfather didn't teach him well enough... And I'm not even getting into the whole flag-pin ordeal...
