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)

I smell a setup!
did Obama say “under God”?
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.
Me too.
Did someone faint too?
BH Obama’s fall in the polls has been so swift that HRC could get the nod.
(Betcha they had to telepromter him the words!)
No he said under the bus /sarc.
PLANT!!!!!!!!!!

I give him the benefit of the doubt. Obama showed class.
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.
Absolutely.
Obamafreak is as real as the tooth ferry.
Yes. . .it looked more like a performance; but at least he knew the words. . .and we know Obama is a ‘performer’ first. . .last and always.
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.
