Can this possibly be true? An anti-Obama website, The Obama File, posts a photograph purporting to show President Obama putting his hand over his heart during the playing of the Russian national anthem, during his visit to Moscow.
How can it possibly be a genuine photograph, when we know that the President didn't put his hand over his heart during the playing of the American national anthem, as demonstrated in this now-infamous photograph taken during the campaign?
Please, let the purported Moscow photograph be a fake. Or, even better, someone point me to the time when President Obama noted that he has reconsidered putting his hand over his heart for our national anthem.

I guessing that most likely they were playing the American national anthem when picture #1 was taken. Maybe someone can find a video.
To: Tailgunner Joe
He also did so for the Saudi anthem when he was in Riyadh.
To: Tailgunner Joe
I would like to get confirm on whether or not Obama did this. Does anyone know of any video of the event? This would seem easy to find but nothing turned up in my searches.

That's because you rarely hear it played properly. It's a march, and written of course in march time, and should be played as one. Perhaps the definitive version of 'O Canada' used to be performed by the late Roget Doucette (sp?), who sang it -- beautifully and rousingly -- at the old Montreal Forum before Canadiens' hockey games for years and years.
A far better tune than 'To Anacreon in Heaven', with its note stretch of 13 (13?!? Less than 1 person in 10 has such a range!).

Musically speaking, the relative quality of these 3 tunes is absolutely inarguable, and, sadly, our tune ‘To Anacreon in Heaven’ comes in dead last. And behind ‘Le Marselliase’, as well.

Your welcome; knock yourself out! ;) I came up with that one during my election night suicide watch, if I remember correctly. Zero certainly puts the POS in POTUS.

Here is a video of the incident which does appear to be at the Russian unknown soldier tomb. Obama places his hand over his heart as the
American National Anthem begins at about 1:18.
To: reagandemocrat
Spent his first 4th of July weekend as President.... in Moscow.

Actually no. He spent the Fourth of July entertaining 1200 military service connected folks on the South Lawn of the White House, after he played golf in the afternoon.
He flew to Moscow on Monday.

Maybe he thought it was the US Anthem. You can’t expect him to know these things.
