Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem.
Some supporters have suggested that perhaps the picture does not tell the whole story and that he may have raised his hand shortly after it was taken.
An ABC News video, however, shows that Senator Obama did not salute at any time during the Anthem and that everybody else on the platform did.
This picture is worrisome. Taken by itself it wouldn’t mean much, but there’s a pattern here . . . His casual comments about why he doesn’t wear a flag pin, his trip abroad giving Europeans and enemy countries the satisfaction of hearing him belittle America and her motives, and the biggest warning of all, his early associations with America haters in Hawaii and Chicago.
To be fair, sometimes Obama does put his hand over his heart and sometimes he doesn’t. Kind of a mixed bag.
