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?

Obama — not your grandfather’s kind of patriot. Ping to Today show list.
Wow.
Obama is a Moslem.
He’s got his hands over his crotch.
you beat me to it...
So Barak Hussein like other muslims doesn’t think he should respect the flag. Real Presidential material.
I don’t care whether the MSM notices. I am noticing.
Obama, in his “Michael Jackson” pose; he did the moonwalk shortly thereafter.
This something something better get out of my something country.
Could be. What a fool I was, I thought the ultimate Manchurian Candidate was Bill Clinton.
Probably a muslime thing. Taqqiya and all that.
A picture is worth a thousand words!!!!
I’m thinkin’ maybe he don’t belong here, let alone be a member of our government.
Would he care to explain himself? If he holds no allegiance to our flag, how does he expect to lead our nation? Sheesh, my teenager wouldn’t follow him into an arcade if he was shootin quarters out of his arse!

Eaker, that photo takes my breath away.

Good grief! And ya’ll KNOW dam well has this been a republican it’d been blown up bigger than Krakatoa.
Was Obama facing east?
Fitting sign of an EMPTY SUIT trying to be something he’s not qualified to be, the POTUS.
That’s what I thought, typical Democrat.
It IS bad when Tom Harkin looks like the most patriotic of the bunch.
