United States Code, 36 USC Sec. 301 Says that during the playing of The Star Spangled Banner (United States National Anthem) when the flag is displayed, everyone except those in uniform should stand at attention while facing the flag and have their right hand over their heart.

Individuals in attendance that aren't in uniform should remove anything they are wearing on their head with their right hand and hold it at their left shoulder, with their hand held over their heart. Individuals in uniform should show the military salute during the first note of the anthem and stay in this position until the last note.

If the flag is not displayed, people in attendance should face the music and respond as if the flag were present.

_______________________________________________________ Obama's only possible excuse for his rude, obnoxious insult to the flag and nation -- is that he didn't recognize the song, due to the awful version sung by some screaming banshee from the black side of his family, who refused to sing it as it was written, and somehow thought her screaming off key and ear splitting version was better...

Unfortunately - far too many singers take the same liberty with the same awful results.

I find them MOST objectionable....
If you have heard the audio that went with this picture -- you would understand what I'm talking about.

This is the video: Let me know if you agree or disagree.
