See the video here.
Obama would have been 18 in 1989..
My son was 18 in 1992 and required to register..
Wouldnt there be a penalty if a young man didnt ???
I had heard someone trying to defend this by saying the picture was taken at the last note and he had just taken his hand down. It’s apparent from watching the video that’s not true.

Actually from the photo, I thought the music was about to start...
I’ve seen people wait till the music starts and then raise their hands, or not be quick enough after the announcement and before the music to raise their hand..
My God, that was the WORST singing of our national anthem I have ever heard. I’m not sure I could have kept my fingers out of my ears during that torture. Who was the cretin singer? Michelle Obama perhaps?
I am glad to see the photo that backs up the photo. I had given him the benefit of the doubt that the pic had been photoshopped. I am not a supporter in any way!
Worse than crap!
Bingo there is something not right about Obama. He is weesly and totally manipulative. Shave his head and 666 is tattood on his head. Be weary people..

Your math is slightly off. He would have been 18 in 1979, as he is one year younger than I am. All males born after December 31, 1959 are required by law to register with Selective Service. It is a felony, IIRC, to fail to do so.
It continues to this day for males born after December 31, 1959, such as you, me and Obama.
Oh sorry my math is off...
I was just pointing out that the SS was still in effect then...
I dont know if he registered but wouldnt he have to ???
Isn’t he a male American Citizen or National born after December 31, 1959?
After seeing the video, I think folks should back off from this false accusation of claiming he dishonored the "pledge of allegiance".
Yes dear he is..
someone had wondered if he had registered or not...is all
Can you move into the White House with out loving America?
He was just showing his patriotism ghetto style — with his hand on his junk.
My point is this: After serving five years (two of which were overseas) in the Army, I still had to register with Selective Service! This man wants to lead our country and he can’t even be bothered to mail a postcard or put his hand over his heart? WHAT GIVES?!
Ask Jimmy Carter.
You do realize that the “dirt” that is OK to throw at Republicans is considered playing dirty when the same is applied to Democrats ???
Democrats = virtuous and good, can do no wrong
Republicans = yucky poo
