Turns out that not wearing a flag lapel pin isn't the only way Barack Obama chooses to show that he's a different kind of Democrat.
Have a look at the photo from the October 1, 2007 edition of "Time." It shows Obama, Hillary and Bill Richardson at the Steak Fry of Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) on September 17 in Indianola, IA, apparently reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Richardson and Clinton have their hands on their heart. But not Obama. Does he perhaps believe that, like wearing the flag pin, the hand on the heart isn't "true patriotism"?
"Time" ran the photo without comment. I haven't seen coverage of this anywhere else in the MSM. Perhaps some enterprising reporter can ask the Illinois senator about his decision to spurn this American tradition.
Meanwhile, does Obama have some third act or omission planned to demonstrate that he's not falling for those corny, old-fashioned displays of patriotism?

‘Boma is a stoner. Too stoned to do any better. I refer to drugs he did years ago.
I would like to see it enlarged and splashed on the front page of every newspaper.
I can’t find the source of that pic...would love to have one a bit larger - I want to “spread it around” outside of FReep; can you help?
How about a John Carlos and Lee Evans Black power salute ala the 1968 Olympics? First no Flag Pin and now no hand over heart? Is he trying to tell us something? At least the DBM is not ratting him out. Thanks for the photo guys
And great tag line, too!
That is Bill Richardson, Hillary Clinton, and Ruth Harkin, Tom Harkin’s wife, next to Obama.
If he want to be CIC of our military - HELL YES
Especially for a group of slime balls that brought up a PHONY charge against a private citizen on the house floor of disrespecting our troops>
The let's not worry about it attitude is what has let these treasonous slimeballs get the ever increasing effrontery to act as they do...
Anyone who let's it slide is equally complicate
Durka, durka, durka, mohammad jihad!
The Mohammadan Candidate...........
Or... is that his pu**y?
Maybe he said it fast and finished first.
He probably thinks we "Pledge allegiance to the Republic for 'Richard Stance"...
That picture causes my monitor to go out of focus.
OMG!! First he won't wear a symbol on his lapel and now he won't even put his hand over his heart while saying a pledge written by a Socialist?!?
Perhaps some enterprising reporter can ask the Illinois senator about his decision to spurn this American tradition.
Perhaps someone can ask 'conservatives' upset about this when saying pledges written by Socialists became an American tradition.
My cocker spaniel has more patriotism in a toenail than NObomba has in his entire body.
In fact, more than Sissy Edwards or Thigh High Hillary.
Please note that according to photo legend from “Time,” the photo was taken during the National Anthem, not the pledge.

As long as our enemies can be elected to the congress; then it is important to make sure the people know what they elected. It is vitally important to expose people who support these people. In addition, people need to know about the phantoms that contribute to the election of these people.
I wonder about say, Oprah and her values if she supports this Anti-American. Lets let this albatross hang around all their necks.
