"all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart."

Hussein Obama is only doubly in error here.

facing the flag

I suggest the possibility that another Flag was present ... and being hoisted up a pole. They're all facing the same direction.

HOWEVER ... their demeanor is sloppy even by minor-league baseball game standards. One would think that Presidential Candidates would try to do better than that.
