[Just A Nobody]

This is not a video, but it is a well known, well documented, widely dispersed photo of the now infamous crotch salute during the campaign 2008. It did not, and does not have anything to do with the military and/or saluting. IIRC, the national anthem was being played or the pledge was being recited.

I will admit it, you are correct and there are a couple from the campaign where he actually should have been saluting the flag but wasn't.

I had forgotten about that one. Yes, that was a campaign stop. Seems like it was during the national anthem or pledge of allegiance but I am not 100% certain on that. It seems like there was another situation where an interviewer talking to him at the time. They were both ignoring what was going on around them. That's no excuse for being disrespectful.

There have been several other "return of the crotch salute" emails or blog posts with photos of Pres__ent Obama. One claimes to be at a Ft. Hood ceremony, another at the tomb of the unknown for veterans' day. Those are the ones that when you research the actual events, you'll find that the time when others are saluting and Obama isn't, it's actually when "Hail to the Chief" is playing. And at those events, Obama actually did salute and show appropriate respect for the flag, the pledge and the national anthem.

Again, I don't support Pres__ent Obama or his policies in any way, but I also don't like dishonesty from either side. He's bad enough when you tell the truth about him.
