This is where I differ from the other musketeers! If you are patriotic and truly love this country then you would show respect for the anthem by outwardly showing that respect with placing your hand over your heart, especially if you are in public office and running for President.
I will not defend or excuse Obama on just standing there with his hands clasp together in front of him. Most body language experts would have a field day on what his body language was conveying during the singing of the anthem at that event, IMO.
I am all for fairness and truth and that is why I have been defending Obama; however, I will not blindly defend him when he shows a lack of respect to our flag and country.
