"Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem. The accompanying article said he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE.....how in the hell can a man like this expect to be our next Commander-in-Chief?"

Michael, we should be mindful that photos/stories do not get blown out of proportion before the facts are checked. ABC reports that the picture was not taken during the pledge, but during the national anthem, and records suggest that he did say the pledge. Either way, I want our next President to be proud to say the pledge, and have respect for the national anthem as well.
