Obama refuses to honor our nation's fallen and our flag. Have you seen this photo?

This photograph was taken on 11/11/09 (Memorial Day) at the ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Notice that the military personnel are saluting as the National Anthem is being played and a civilian has his hand over his heart. Now notice where Obama's hands are. This man is a disgrace to our nation and an insult to those of us who have served to protect it.

    "WE NOTICED"

    President Obama:

    Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define

    September 11 as a National Service Day. Sir, it's time we

    had a talk.........

    During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery

    of our tradition of standing and crossing your heart when

    the Pledge of Allegiance was spoken. You, out of four people

    on the stage, were the only one not honoring our tradition.

    YES, "We noticed."

    During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say

    that you intended to visit all 57 states. We all know that

    Islam, not America has 57 states.

    YES, "We noticed."

    When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently

    placed a flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly

    tossed your flower onto the pile without leaning over.

    YES, "We noticed."

    Every time you apologized to other countries for America 's

    position on an issue we have wondered why you don't share

    our pride in this great country. When you have heard

    foreign leaders berate our country and our beliefs, you

    have not defended us. In fact, you insulted the British

    Crown beyond belief.

    YES, "We noticed."

    When your pastor of 20 years, "God-damned America " and said

    that 9/11 was "America's chickens coming home to roost"

    and you denied having heard recriminations of that nature,

    we wondered how that could be. You later disassociated

    yourself from that church and Pastor Wright because it was

    politically expedient to do so.

    YES, "We noticed."

    When you announced that you would transform America , we

    wondered why. With all her faults, America is the greatest

    country on earth. Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, "if not for

    America and the people who built her, you wouldn't be

    sitting in the White House now." Prior to your election to

    the highest office in this Country, you were a senator from

    Illinois and from what we can glean from the records

    available, not a very remarkable one.

    YES, "We noticed."

    All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded

    yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for

    the positions for which you appointed them. Worse than that,

    the majority of them are people who, like you, bear no

    special allegiance, respect, or affection for this country

    and her traditions.

    YES, "We noticed."

    You are 9 months into your term and every morning millions

    of Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you.

    You seek to saddle working Americans with a health

    care/insurance reform package that, along with cap and

    trade, will bankrupt this nation.

    YES, "We noticed."

    We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know

    that we are not in favor of these crippling expenditures

    and we are labeled "un-American","racist", "mob". We wonder

    how we are supposed to let you know how frustrated we are.

    You have attempted to make our protests seem isolated and

    insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans had the

    right to speak out.

    YES, "We noticed."

    On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or

    Democrats, only Americans. And we all grieved together and

    helped each other in whatever way we could. The attack on

    9/11 was carried out because we are Americans.

    And YES, "We noticed."

    There were many of us who prayed that as a black president

    you could help unite this nation. In six months you have

    done more to destroy this nation than the attack on 9/11.

    You have failed us.

    YES, "We noticed."

    September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You

    propose to make 9/11 a "National Service Day". While we

    know that you don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray

    that history will report your proposal as what it is...a

    disgrace.

    YES, "We noticed."

    You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office

    that you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in

    foreign visits and policy.

    YES, "We noticed.."

    We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you.

    When Americans come together again, it will be to remove

    you from office.

    Take notice.

    Who cares? I'm by no means an Obama fan at all, but I don't judge leadership on grammar. I complain about liberals critisizing conservatives over stupid **** like that cuz that's all they have to critisize. So, Im not going to degrade myself by stooping to that level. To answer your question tho, I think Obama is an *** for not showing up to support our fallen heroes.

    When my father retired from the Army he was at a loss about what to do with his hands during our National Anthem. My mother and I have always placed our hands over our hearts, and my father does now too... Though as a Vet he can still Salute, and it would be correct.

    The American public elected Obama. Ask those that voted for him how they feel. Our generation has no respect for the American Flag or for this country. Can you see the public planting a Victory Garden to assist in the War effort? Can you see teenagers giving up their cell phones so Soldiers can have armored vests?

    FYI: If you are going to complain about Obama's lack of respect for those who have served the USA, you should attempt to get the Holiday correct. November 11th is Veteran's Day. http://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetdayhistory.asp

    Veteran's Day is to honor all of those, past and present, who have served in War or Conflict. Memorial Day, at the end of May, when we honor those who have given their lives during War or Conflict fighting for America.

    One photo rarely tells the whole story. But I don't need this picture to be able to disagree with Obama. I think his policies are destructive to the US economy. We'll survive, as we did the civil war and the great depression, but its gonna get ugly along the way.

    Did you not hear during the campaign where Obama doesn't put his hand over his heart or salute the flag? I heard it and believed it then and now.
