Seriously? You won't say the Pledge?



Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton, and Ruth Harkin stand during the National Anthem. Barack Obama refused both to put his hand over his heart and say the Pledge of Allegiance.

...And this man wants to be our next President?

Where was this?

I'm reading Scopes right now and there's a video of this and its actually the National Anthem that's being sung, not the Pledge being said.

In which case I think it's understandable. Most people don't put their hand on their heart during the singing of the anthem.

Here's the link to the video. I put my hand over my heart during the Pledge and most of the time during the singing of the national anthem. If he were sitting during the national anthem, then there would be a problem.

Oops. I must have been misinformed by the email I got with this picture. It quoted a news article saying that he "refused to say the Pledge."
