I have been sick all week - now I have the nasty cough to deal with, so no sleep for me the past few days.
It has been a pretty interesting week what with the Republican Convention. I enjoyed watching Sarah Palin - I truly think having John McCain as President and Sarah Palin as Vice President will be a good thing for America. I believe that Obama isn't really what he pretends to be and that scares me! I don't believe him or trust him at all.
I am a proud American who supports our troops and all they do and Obama doesn't seem to feel that way! The picture of him just standing there while everyone else has their hand over their heart - what American would stand and not put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem.
Here is what the US Code says people should do during the National Anthem.
STATUTE-
(a) Designation. - The composition consisting of the words and music known as the Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem.
(b) Conduct During Playing. - During a rendition of the national anthem -
(1) when the flag is displayed -
(A) all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart;
(B) men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold the headdress at the left shoulder,the hand being over the heart; and
(C) individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note; and
(2) when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.
Sure looks like Obama doesn't know that!
