The truth about this picture:

This picture has been floating around for some time and purports to show Obama being disrespectful - I got it in an email claiming it shows Obama not putting his hand over his heart during the National Anthem. I dislike Obama immensely and think he is the worst President in history, but it doesn't help our cause when we make stuff up (like whoever sent me the email made up what this picture was about). The truth is, that picture was taken at Arlington in 2009 during a Memorial Day ceremony and shows Obama standing with his hands clasped in front of him - and for good reason. They had just played Hail to the Chief and he had just been introduced and stepped on to the stage. Sometimes a picture is not worth 1000 words.

I got this same email and checked it out on snopes before forwarding it on (I have learned my lesson the hard way). When I found out the truth, I hit the reply ‘all’ button on my email, and informed everyone that what was in the email was NOT the case. Like you, I can’t stand the man, but we need to make sure of things before we forward them on as gospel.
