One picture worth a thousand words!
While on a stage with other candidates at an outside meeting, Obama refused to salute the flag or say the Pledge Of Allegiance. Should a man like this be President of our Country? A man who would put his muslim brothers first and our county second.

While I would likely not vote for the guy, I would love to hear his explanation before condemning his actions/inactions. Maybe they were done and he dropped his hand.

I do want to know the whole story. Were they saluting the flag or was the National Anthem playing. I always put my hand over my heart during both, but many people stand with their hands at their sides during the National Anthem.

He's not in my top three choices, but I'd vote for him in the general election. He's not ready to be running the country...yet. posted by

http://www.snopes.com/polit... BLT I am suprised at you~ after all I listened to your "explanation" and I would hope we all would try to find out the truth of the matter before we grab our pitchforks and branish our firey clubs.. http://www.snopes.com/polit... and this belies the mistaken belief he is a Muslim "brother". I heard an interesting pundit the other day suppose a series of "ifs", if President H.Clinton(no!! please no ) would appoint him a S.C. justice,he'd be safely out of the way,he is by all acounts an excellent Constitutional lawyer/scholar and it's a nice lifetime gig for a fourty something man..ah the future..what will come to pass? posted by

Absolutely not, regardless of what he did or didn't do in the event that was captured by this photo. posted by

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. -- United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171 Turns out that not wearing a flag lapel pin isn't the only way Barack Obama chooses to show he's a different kind of Democrat. 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 the National Anthem. Richardson and Clinton have their hands on their heart. But not Obama. A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS...IN THIS CASE A THOUSAND WARNINGS...WHAT A PRESIDENT THIS JOKER WOULD MAKE! posted by

Check out the snopes link~ the jury is still out..but he isn't my choice either..Dodd or Richardson...BTW if we forgive our current President of the occasional misstep and I know we all do,having heard it several times..then it is logical to extend that along the continuum.

There are several pictures out there of Bush with his hands near his crotch during the playing of the national anthem, but for some reason not one conservative has shown any outrage over it. Conservatives are such hypocrites, you know.

What's the big deal Obama? Either you honor your country and your country's traditions or you don't. If you don't, in my eyes, you are not fit to lead this great and wondrous country. Sure it is his RIGHT to not salute the flag or respect the Star Spangled Banner. IT IS HIS RIGHT ...
and I will defend his right to act in the manner he has chosen. However, I personally find it disturbing Obama would profess to love, uphold and defend his country (in order to be elected this nations leader) yet Obama cannot be bothered to pay homage to the very country he wishes to lead. Hummm, something is terribly wrong here! If this is the beginning of a new trend in political leadership, I find it greatly disturbing. He will not get my vote. Not for this reason, but a variety of others. posted by

From the other people in the picture I doubt is the pledge was being given or the National Anthem was being played. It's most likely was before or after. Or it may be that he had just met with the Democratic Congress and his heart was in his stomach. ;o)

Still photography at it's finest. There are a lot of pictures out there with people about to, just did, might, might not, and all stages in between. As anyone who has shot pictures at an event knows, they are shot in rapid succession and give an array of interesting poses. In the picture Roy posted, Obama is the only one not saluting. In RF's picture Lauras hand appears to be slipping downward as does the gentlemans on the far right that you can barely see. posted by

No, really, she's shaking her head. I caught her mid-shake. But she looks like she could be about ready to attack.

It's like being at a sporting event and trying to get a good still shot. It's almost impossible to get the shot you wanted. In this case your only clue is what people around the subject are doing.

Debbie..I know it's a dog..lol. It was the ear hanging down that reminded me of a lop. I should have been clearer. It DOES prove a point though doesn't it? Wasn't it just last year that there wasn a picture circulating with the same type of thing? Seems like it was Hillary ...it escapes me at the moment. posted by

I know you knew it was a dog. I was just trying to bolster your point that you don't always know what's going on in a picture. Yes she's the same little mutt I rescued off Rosedale Hwy last summer. She was then mauled by a neighbors dog in our backyard and had to have $1000 worth of vet care. But, I wouldn't take twice that much for her. She's a great friend.

People,are you going to vote for a man based on his religion? Christian, or Muslim, from what Ihave learned,there is not a lot of difference in the two of them. I understand they both worship thew same God. They both have fanatics in command, Look what we have In Iraq, A stupid war, based on different philosophys. It has been going on for 2000 yrs. Let us pray.

They had just finished anthem and he was "standing down" LOFL! Thanks once again for the laugh, Queets. Look in the mirror buddy I did, and he's laughing his a** off at you conservative jokers.

He's afraid to look in the mirror, Roy. Although since he obviously "sees" what he wants to see (self-perception being the operative word here) he might not be as shocked by his ignorance as are we Roy. You see, believe it or not, he fancies himself as "smart". Now, quit laughing............... And this from someone who was saying over and over again on this board a month ago: "Now is the time to buy real estate............ Rates are going through the roof and will offset any psf price savings effected by waiting.............." Need any more be said about this sad person's general level of intelligence?
