Just because everybody else did it doesn't mean that it has to be done. I believe I learned that from my Mom & Dad, and something about my friends and a bridge.....

He isn't X miltary either - does that disqualify him? Honestly you just can't pick one issue and rule out the candidate........... or perhaps you can. Either way like it or not - Obama looks like he's gonna be your boy no matter what you may feel. There's too many that all this trivial shit just don't matter much anymore - and before you go to the closet to get the whip for me......... I too am a Vietnam Vet, been spit on in uniform, and rode the free bennies wagon. It just doesn't make the candidate anymore - it's all smoke and mirrors when you start to tear a candidate down to the bone.

Obama is fresh, he's not typical Washington, and he deserves a chance as much as any vet. The placement of a hand isn't going to lose him too many votes - his plan more than makes up for what you saw.

Yes i agree with you, so why is BHO worried about what other oppressed people in other 3rd world countries think about our National Anthem? It IS the United States of America he is running for President of NOT the United Nations.

Wrong Bubba

According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171, During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.

Look...I'm not trying to get anyone to vote for anyone special. I'm not sure who I will vote for. I don't have anyone representing my views right now.

What I will say is that some of you on here are against the illegals taking over, want to own a gun..etc and then when election time comes you back a candidate that has a CORE that is AGAINST almost everything that is important to you all because of the word CHANGE. CHANGE can be good or it can be BAD.

These candidates make promises (both parties) but we don't ask HOW are you going to do that or HOW much will it cost or WHERE will the money come from. You have to look a little deeper than what they say they are going to do.

I want change also but I don't want change that will harm our country.
