Obama Indulges Heckler and Leads the Pledge of Allegiance - Video 8/5/08
Blogs for John McCain ^ | August 5, 2008 | brianinmo

Barack Obama had an awkward moment today at a Town Hall Meeting he was holding, as you see in this video. As he was ready to get underway in his remarks, a person in the crowd began to heckle him, asking that the Pledge of Allegiance be said. Obama induldged the young man, and eventually thanked him publicly for reminding them all that they had not yet said the Pledge. Interesting moment. . . . (see video)

What does the body language expert say about the eyes looking down on the word God?

Seems like I remember something about turning towards the flag when you say the pledge.
But then what do I know? I was only a Cub Scout, a Boy Scout, a Sailor, and an attendee of many many baseball games, where everyone seem to be turning toward the flag.

BH Obama’s fall in the polls has been so swift that HRC could get the nod.

Of course it was a "setup." Obama has always been in complete control of his speaking venues.

But as you can see from this thread , it backfired.

The video shows Obama's body language and he is incapable of even pretending to be a patriot.

What a POS Obama IS!

We are still supposed to face the flag during the pledge of allegiance. It has not changed.

Seems we know a lot more about flag etiquette than this sorry case for a Presidential candidate. He can’t just turn around and show a little respect for the flag

Planned, staged and plastic.

That empty suit really does think we’re ALL stupid!

Class?? He had to be heckled to do the pledge, and you think that’s class? I suspect you went to a state college.
