‘Hands over hearts for all eight. (unlike Obama).’
Was baby-sitting - saw none of this.
You say the candidates had their hands over their hearts when ‘The National Anthem’ was sung? (Badly . . .)
This stuff is making me crazy.
And I think it’s confusing a lot of people.
I can tell they are not sure - - -
We NEVER had our hands over hearts when singing the Anthem - all these years.
And I’ve lived from NY, to MD, to NM, to CA, and we NEVER did this.
This phony stuff started when pictures of Obama doing the ‘crotch’ shot were published.
If Obama’s hand was not over his heart when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, then that is wrong. It is not wrong, however, to then drop the hand when singing, or listening to the Anthem.
I think people wanted to show what an idiot Obama was for not having his hand over his heart, but it’s not necessary - we have other proof of that!
I am not aware the ‘rule’ was changed - was there a memo I missed?!
If some care to do this, fine.
But I hope that doesn’t get to mean that I am wrong when I don’t.

Not sure if it was because my Dad was a lifer in the Air Force, the schools that I went to (most were near military bases) or ?? but I don’t remember not doing so. I’ve lived in several states as well and have put my hand over my heart for the National Anthem for as long as I can remember as has my sister; and, we taught my nephew to do the same when he was very small.
