obama and the national anthem

If you have heard Obama speak he expalins this video.  He was raised to believe that you salute the flag when the pledge is being said.  That you don't need to salute for the national anthem it takes the respect away from the flag.  If you nothice they aren't even looking at the flag in the picture.

One would think a Congress person would know the US Code; especially one that is also an attorney AND running for president. Other blogs have tried to defend Obama and Clinton on this as a single photo, but the video attached shows the last two on the stage with Clinton and Obama ACTUALLY facing the flag behind them all. Others have tried to defend that Obama and Clinton were looking at a second flag. No matter, though; Obama is still busted according to US Code. Unpatriotic moron has even mis-stated what the traditional protocol is! 

Title 36, U.S. Code, Chapter 10 - PATRIOTIC CUSTOMS

Sec. 170. National anthem; Star-Spangled Banner

Conduct during playing The composition consisting of the words and music known as The Star-Spangled Banner is designated the national anthem of the United States of America.

Sec. 171.

Seriously.

1. Who cares? Let's get back to the issues.

2. What if their was a flag off camera center left? You don't have proof there wasn't. (Center left, exactly where this country should be, by the way.)
