How do you know from a still photo what was going on?
There is a full video of the even and no he never did put his hand over his heart
His initial answers about this and not wearing the American flay was he did not want to appear as a super patriot.
No, that was not his answer
He said he didn't wear the flag because it was false patriotism and he didn't put his hand over his heart because that was how his grandfather had taught him
I was taught the same thing by a man who spent 30 years in the military serving and fighting for his country
I was taught to stand at attention
I saw people with the hands over their hearts and asked about it and was told that that is what veterans did
I was also taught and have subsequently researched it
That the boob clutch was not the proper salute
Properly a salute should be rendered with the right hand in the classic salute position above the heart
I also want to know why Obama is the only one called out on this
If the proper behavior dictates that one stand at attention with their hand over their heart, doesn't that imply that both conditions be met
Richardson looks like he is searching the crowd and Hillary looks like she's fidgeting out of boredom
Two men stand at rigid attention to the left of the stage every one else looks like they have a two year olds attention span
Seems his poll numbers going down made him more willing to show patriotism.
He has never been unwilling to show patriotism, he has simply stated that wearing a pin does not do that
The other democrat candidate may wear a flag on her pantsuit,but in her heart she flies the UN flag or some other symbol of internationalism.She'd like to disarm the entire population,probably down to BB guns.
You basically just paraphrase in a less politically correct manner, exactly the reason he gave for not wearing the pin
Patriotism should be displayed by deeds not jewelry
