We must make it known loud and clear to the world that this blathering jug-eared buffoon speaks ONLY for those fools who voted for him.

He maybe the president of many, but he does NOT represent me.

I am the one that uncovered that picture and posted it on Free Republic. To be fair, there was a pic of him with his hand over his heart at some point captioned that it was from memorial day.

But that said, look at his pose. Everyone else is already doing something for whatever reason the rest are doing it. At first I thought it might be a salute to the CIC..but that didn’t make sense since one guy has his hand over his heart. Why is he late to the “respect” party? There is also a shot of him looking at the man in white , who is in a salute, with a weird look on his face. It is a smaller pic. I think it was from a site that was BET. You can find it in my posts from the last few days.

Why did you take time away from those important tasks to seek out, read, and respond to this post?

Honestly, I’ve seen it all now.

Nobody backs him opening up his past, so it remains secret.

This nation can be taken down by this guy, but don’t be so unfair as to demand he explain his birth status with every shred of pertinent information. Don’t demand we know what type of school he was educated in, in Indonesia. Don’t demand we know who paid for his Harvard education. Don’t worry about his associating with Beradene Dorn or Bill Ayers. Who cares if he spent twenty years in a church with a pastor that stated things like, “God Damn America.” Who cares if he refuses to place his hand over his heart when it comes to our nation’s icons, but will when it comes to Russia’s.

Honestly this apple cart is upside down folks.

Its on the other links with this picture; specifically, this picture was taken at the 2009 Memorial Day celebrations at Arlington National Cemetery, and you can find video of this part with him putting palm to chest on YouTube.

I agree with the previous writer - calling 'Wolf' over nonsense like this will cause moderates and independents to dismiss everything conservatives claim, no matter how true, timely, etc.

Yet another example of how much he does know what he’s doing and when he’s doing it. Also see comment 12 & 15.

Such anti-American actions by the President are reasons why the founders and framers insisted on Presidents being natural born and raised Americans — not somebody with loyalities to other nations.

A Communist?

Or a Muslim? Communists don't believe in any religion... not that I consider Islam a legitimate religion! Or maybe just a Chicago hoodlum?

Anyway you take it, he ain't on our side

Zero’s not saluting the Flag reminds me of that Muslim convert jerk Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (previously Chris Jackson) who played for the Denver Nuggets back in the early Nineties and refused to stand for the National Anthem and face the Flag.

Here is a clip from Wikipedia:

Abdul-Rauf is perhaps best known for the controversy created when he refused to stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner” before games, stating that the flag was a “symbol of oppression” and that the United States had a long “history of tyranny”.[Sound like anyone we know?] He said that standing to the national anthem would therefore conflict with his Islamic beliefs. On March 12, 1996, the NBA suspended Abdul-Rauf for his refusal to stand, but the suspension lasted only one game. Two days later, the league was able to work out a compromise with him, whereby he would stand during the playing of the national anthem but could close his eyes and look downward. He usually silently recited a Muslim prayer during this time.

In an apparent publicity stunt gone wrong linked to this controversy, four employees of Denver’s KBPI were charged with misdemeanor offenses related to entering a Colorado mosque and playing “The Star-Spangled Banner” on a bugle and trumpet, in a provocative response to Abdul-Rauf’s refusal to stand for the national anthem.

If we’re lucky, the great 0 is only a Manchurian Candidate who strives to destroy the symbols, the institutions, the wealth, and the liberties of the United States.

And if we are not lucky?

It’s a good thing that someone clips the flag pin on his lapel, otherwise they wouldn’t know he was one of ours....or is he???? Hmmmmmm..........

Are there any other shots that make it more clear as to what he is holding his hand on his breast for? We are trusting he is responding to the national anthem of Russia for instance while facing their flag. The pic does not make this assumption clear.

My feelings of spite for this miserable POS in the white house cannot be exhaggerated. Our country which has lasted for over 230 years is rapidly being torn apart. His accomplices in Congress are not any better than he is. TRAITORS ALL!!!

Because pointing out what is true, false, misleading, or out of context, is one of those tasks.

I’ll also add this is like those pics of him in some other country with his hand over his heart, and a big blog frenzy over him doing that for some other country’s anthem, when the truth was they were playing OUR anthem at that point (for him as a visiting head of state). But, you wouldn’t have known that without watching the video. That’s why I said these images without context are meaningless. Lying, or not bothering to discern the truth, is an error.
