There's an old saying--"The devil is in the details." He won't wear a flag pin, he doesn't salute during the Pledge...why not? What does it cost to abide by these simple and painless conventions? What has he ever done instead?
I recall Hillary Clinton explaining that she refused to pledge allegiance to the nation as it is but would pledge allegiance to what the nation could be(Presumably, if she were its ruler.)
A politician's violation of norms, however small, is not trivial. Obama is the political equivalent of the squeegee man-- or the delinquent who throws a rock through the window of an abandoned building. Is it really worth the time of the police to bother with these behaviors? They're just molehills after all...
...and he’s running for PRESIDENT of the United States? This is a disgraceful act and he should be called on it. What a chump!
