and I've seen "proof" that he didn't salute during the National Anthem...but when you see the video they are clearly playing hail to the chief.

Got a link to that video you reference?

Because Hail to the Chief is played to signal the entrance of the President and I can't recall when Americans held their hand over their heart for the song.

The National Anthem, yes - Hail to the Chief - no.

Yep...know that. The key phrase in the post was the word "and" which can be lost in the context (for that I apologize). I was referring to two separate incidences. One where he put his left hand over his heart (which he didn't) and another (back in 2009 I think) where he was at Arlington and the military was saluting and he was standing there....which is what the CINC does of course.
