If you check with FACTFINDER you will see that Obama did not have his hand over this heart during the Star Spangled Banner. This has been incorrectly reported for months.

"No one should be elected president that will not put his hand over his heart during pledge of allegiance or put his hand on a bible. I'm in the military and this will be a devestated blow to us in arms."

Are you out of your mind? I support Obama because I'm tired of being recycled in Iraq - three tours and counting. We want to go home and be with our families. Trust me - none of use are worried about flag pins and junk like that. We want a leader who can LEAD - and that is clearly Sen. Obmam

Before you have anything to add i would encourage you to do your research and at least back your hate up with some actual facts. Obama graduated at the top of his Harvard class but you cant manage to get you little blog facts together. now who is not qualified? I really wish people would stop opperatig on hate and start searching for the truth rather than your lies. you don't want some one named Obama but this country will not exist much longer with another Bush.
