Sorry Osama, I mean Obama, maybe you just don't know American flag etiquette:

LOL wonder how irritated he will be now?
Shows how ignorant he is of simple things..what is he going to do interacting with other countries?
This guy needs to go back to school period.

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

Grow a spine.

[Tanniker Smith]

Obama, grow a set of cajones, will ya?
It was obvious that's what you were covering.

[Popman]

I'm a lot more concerned about Barack Hussein Obama political ideology than his lack of American flag etiquette.

Seems like we are swatting at the gnats rather than breaking out the can of Raid to kill off these socialist cockroaches

[True Republican Patriot]

Osama, ops, Obama, ops Hussein Obama, You DONT hold your hands over your CROTCH when the National Anthem is sung!
We dont care if you are irritated, We are sickened and angered by your shananegans and hypocracy! Good day iritating one!Osama, ops Obama.

During the national anthem you sing.

Did he even sing? Hard to tell for sure in the youtube version, but it looks to me like he wasn't singing either. I don't mind him not singing, but I do mind him saying he was if he was not.

[2nd Bn, 11th Mar]

Nice ears, Hussein!

[Redcloak]

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

"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."

Get a thicker skin, Barack, you maroon. You're wrong and you don't even know it.

[Walvoord]

Interesting. When I was young and in school I was taught the same way as Obama. Hand over the heart for the Pledge but not the National Anthem.

I see from looking in my handy copy of the United States Code Annotated that 36, section 301 a & b were revised in 1976 and 1998.

I wonder if this was what they changed?

[Yo-Yo]

Do you have a link to the story? Your links all point to the excellent Cornell University Law page.

[vpintheak]

The dumb bastard doesn’t know or respect American tradition, this person cannot win this election or even be Vice-Pres. I can hardly see straight.

[TomGuy]

Ears Osama is irritated at a photo?

Toughen up, Ears. You are starting to sound whiny.

[rideharddiefast]

It sounds like osama obama is trying to act like the other anti-American candidate, cut and run Paul.

[Battle of Tours]

He would have been better off to have claimed, “I’m so patriotic that the sight of Old Glory stirred my manhood...I covered my chubby for the sake of the children.” Clintonesque fabrication meets AlGore on Rolling Stone cover imagery.

[JoeSixPack1]

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.

[Chode]

[Jet Jaguar]

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.

[freespirited]

"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?
