Help Me With Picture of Obama

I have a family that is dead set against Obama and say he won't salute the flag. Can someone tell me where I can find a picture of Obama saluting the flag? This is ridiculous!

hand over heart - will that help?

:shrug:

I would be grateful to you. Thanks!

the Republican opponent.

Oh, yeah, and you found your way to the internet; maybe you can find Google?!

We have a lot of hard work ahead of us getting Obama elected...and every single individual whose mind can be changed counts. It would also be helpful not being rude/patronizing to new people here, okay?

until he becomes Commander in Chief?

IIRC, you only salute if you are or were in the military.

All others, place their hands over their hearts.

he still won't be "in the military". CiC is a function, not a title...

right at the moment, but when is he CiC, he will more often than not, salute the flag.

"salute" the flag. He is not, and will not, be in the military. Becoming President does not confer military status upon anyone. After he is President he will still be "a civilian at the moment"; when he assumes the duties of the CiC he will still be "a civilian at the moment".

We have got to get away from this idea that the President is some kind of military officer - he/she isn't, not by any stretch of the imagination. We have got to stop thinking this way...

Some place their hands over their stomachs.

you know where.

:thumbsup:

Or place his hand over his heart?



Or disrespect it by drawing on it or signing it (like Bush)?

That should work.

Look at the guy behind him looking at him quizzically.

"he was sworn into office on the Koran"

We just need to crop out Darth Cheney! :scared:

Mostly because his two daughters were (still are, of course) so gosh-durned cute.

Barack's grandfather taught him to say the Pledge of Allegiance, and he regularly leads his fellow Senators as they recite it together. His grandfather taught him that you put your hand over your heart when you say the pledge, but that during the National Anthem - you sing!

Obama's grandfather:


A picture of Obama with hand over heart during pledge:


And another


The photo below is from Tom Harken's steak fry in Iowa. Obama has his hands clasped in front of him and is singing while the other candidates are standing mute with hands over their hearts. Watch the video to understand what is happening in the photo -- Obama is singing the National Anthem while all of the others are just standing there.

The clip of Obama saying the Pledge of Allegiance in the Senate was from C-SPAN and rateyes posted it in the thread above -- here is the link... http://youtube.com/watch?v=JD6bKaVW-ls
