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

This man is essentially a foreigner. He would be even worse than Hillary at least we are familiar with her strain of Marxism. Obama is an unknown, rootless individual.

should stand at attention facing the flag Looks like there is more than problem with the picture (unless there was more than one flag).

They are all looking in different directions. I wonder if there was more than one flag or if someone is not looking at a flag?

Well, I’ll give ‘em points for standing respectfully with their hands over their hearts. Obama looks like he’s schlepping.

He's playing pocket pool when he should be standing at attention, facing the flag, with his right hand over his heart.

Have you heard the rendition of the National Anthem being sung? I can’t blame him for not recognizing that it was the song being performed at that time. Terrible!

To: doesnt suffer fools gladly
The hispanic man and white chicks reflexively put their hands across their chests when they hear the first strains of the Anthem, as do all Americans. I would feel very uncomfortable NOT doing so. The very thought is anathema. What shocks me is that Obama al Husseini doesn't even think to do so, plus his manner is so relaxed that he is clearly very much at ease with not doing what is so basic to being an American.
To: doesnt suffer fools gladly
Nothing’s wrong with the picture. It shows three Americans and one phony American.
To: doesnt suffer fools gladly
Richardson is facing the camera, and Obama is holding his crotch. Hillary is looking as close as she can to respectful, so I am guessing that it was one of her minions who widely released the photo.

I was willing not to make a big deal of the flag pin
But, when you put the flag pin issue together with this, it makes me think that maybe Mr Barack Hussein Obama has a problem with loyalty to America.

This is such an unpatriotic faux pas that it must be all pre-orchestrated.
Looks to me like he’s taking a fall on purpose to prove his loyalty to the DNC strategy. Obama doesn’t strike me as a man of such deep conviction that he wouldn’t feign genuine USA patriotism to win if he thought he could.
I say the fix is in, Obama is Hillary’s VP pick. Done deal, to bring in those who Hillary won’t appeal to with her own fake brands of patriotism. Yes, brands plural.

They are all looking in different directions. I wonder if there was more than one flag or if someone is not looking at a flag? I'm guessing that there may have been a color guard or another American Flag at stage right (house left), where it should be displayed. Hillary!, Obama and the other woman all appear to be glancing in that general direction. As for Richardson, who knows...maybe he's looking towards the singer/band? That's what one is supposed to do if there isn't a flag in sight; however how he could not see the HUGE FLAG SUSPENDED BEHIND HIM is unknown.

Re Obama, Confucius say,

I kind of agree with the Obamasama-as-fall-guy theory. Unless he is just unbelievably clueless.

At the age where most of us were learning the words to the Star Spangled Banner and the Pledge Of Allegiance, little Barrack Obamma was at a Muslim school in Indonesia learning how to kneel down on his prayer rug 5 times a day to worship the god of murder and enslavement.

He appears to be the youngest of the four. Perhaps they banned the Pledge of Allegiance in schools before he had a chance to learn the protocols. Nitwit, it’s still no excuse.
But, you know, I’m ashamed to admit that, were it a Canadian flag and Canadian politicians, there’s no telling what the various postures would be. We don’t even have a pledge, let alone people who revere our flag. So, three out of 4 looks pretty good to me....impressive, even.
