Barack Obama Says He Didn’t Show Respect for National Anthem
Obama Says He’s Irritated by Photo Claiming He Didn’t Show Respect During Pledge of Allegiance
Barack Obama complained on Wednesday about an Internet photo that claims the Democratic presidential candidate didn’t hold his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance.
“This is so irritating,” Obama said when asked about the photo in Muscatine, Iowa.
The photo, which has circulated widely on the Internet, was taken in September during Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin’s annual Democratic fundraiser. A message accompanying the photo claims Obama didn’t observe the pledge.
Obama said the photo was taken during the singing of the national anthem, not the pledge.
Good. Barack Obama is now on record as saying that he could not be bothered to show proper respect for our National Anthem.
