President Obama’s Defensive Posture: No Hand Over His Heart During National Anthem–Update

Written By : Melissa Clouthier

Go over to Pamela Geller’s place and check this out and then come back.

Why won’t President Obama put his hand over his heart, a sign of devotion, during the National Anthem? Even better, why does President Obama protect the family jewels (symbolically) by interlacing his fingers in front of his crotch when the National Anthem plays?

Does the President feel threatened and therefore feels the need to be self-protective during the National Anthem? Is he just bored and trying to figure out what to do with his hands–anything, but show devotion to his country?

It seems to me that President Obama is not comfortable around any patriotic displays. In fact, it seems that any shows of patriotism make him feel defensive. He seems to want to protect himself from the assault.

Update:

@Techaskew on Twitter noted that it could be just another narcissistic display–that President Obama is taking the National Anthem in as if it’s being played for him. Like he’s the perpetual birthday boy and being sung to every time there’s a big event.

Oh blech. I think that might be more wretch-inducing.

BIG

I think Obama places his hands over his crotch instead of his heart during the National Anthem is because he believes in screwing America instead of using his heart to make decisions.

“Why won’t President Obama put his hand over his heart, a sign of devotion, during the National Anthem?”

Because, being The One, a single country isn’t good enough to deserve his devotion. Now once we have an INTERnational Anthem, you’ll see him singing it with gusto and respect. Unless maybe he thinks one PLANET isn’t good enough for him…

He had no problem with saluting the Russian tomb of the unknown soldier, commemorating communist soldiers. Its just America he has problems saluting.

The next time FOX gets the chance, at a news conference or during their upcoming interview, they need to ask Obama, “Mr. President, when you attended the Russian tomb of the unknown soldier, honoring communist soldiers, we noticed you had the courtesy to salute. Why on Veterans day, did you not do so at the US tomb of the unknown soldier? or during several playings you’ve attended of the National Anthem?

Expose him for what he is, an embarrassment.
