Obama irritated by Internet photo

BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) -- Barack Obama complained on Wednesday about an Internet photo that claims the Democratic presidential candidate didn't hold his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance.

"This is so irritating," Obama said when asked about the photo in Muscatine, Iowa.

The photo, which has circulated widely on the Internet, was taken in September during Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin's annual Democratic fundraiser. A message accompanying the photo claims Obama didn't observe the pledge.

Obama said the photo was taken during the singing of the national anthem, not the pledge.

"My grandfather taught me how to say the Pledge of Allegiance when I was 2," Obama said, his annoyance obvious. "During the Pledge of Allegiance you put your hand over your heart. During the national anthem you sing."

Hussein could score in the upper 90% on every poll from now till the convention and still lose the nomination to Sir Hitlery.

He’s Arkenfodder.

He's got a little problem with basic human anatomy, it would seem.

Maybe a heart-on?

As an American, Military personnel should salute the flag during the National Anthem, civilians should remove their hats and place their right hand over their heart.

You must be my age, Walvoord, because that’s the way I was taught in a Chicago public school back in the 50s. Pledge - Heart; Anthem - Sing.

It’s an even trade off, Hillary knows how to place her hand over her heart, but she doesn’t know the words to the national anthem, youtube had a copy of it for a while, she screeched it while thinking the mic was off or turned down.

I remember Obama referring to the President of Canada back early in his campaign.

The strangest thing about that picture is that either Obama is 10 ft tall, or Hillary is 4 ft tall. ;-)

"During the Pledge of Allegiance you put your hand over your heart. During the national anthem you sing."

So why does he figure the other three have hand over heart?

Perhaps I'm the doofus here but I ALWAYS put my hand over my heart when the Pledge of Allegiance is recited or the National Anthem is played !

I’m guessing the man’s never watched a ball game in his life then?

I wonder if MoDo will write about Obama Hussein's hurt feelings, like she did regarding his '68 Mustang convertible's open car door looking ears?

"This is so irritating," Obama said when asked about the photo in Muscatine, Iowa.

Then why did you do it, Obama? Why didn't you just put your hand on your heart during the pledge? You can't bitch about something if you gave it reason to exist in the first place. Let's see how irritated he is when he doesn't get the nomination.
