OBAMA: MUSLIM OR AMERICAN?


Obama: No Hand on Heart for National Anthem

by MARK FINKLESTEIN

During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. -- United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171

Turns out that not wearing a flag lapel pin isn't the only way Barack Obama chooses to show he's a different kind of Democrat.

Have a look at the photo from the October 1, 2007 edition of "Time."
It shows Obama, Hillary and Bill Richardson at the Steak Fry of Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) on September 17 in Indianola, IA during [according to the photo caption] the National Anthem. Richardson and Clinton have their hands on their heart. But not Obama. Does he perhaps believe that, like wearing the flag pin, the hand on the heart isn't "true patriotism"?

He's mohammadin! Why else would there NOT be a hew and cry for his head?
And IF he was a born again Christian, WHY HASN'T HE CHANGED HIS NAME? It is a mohammadin one!
Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!
