I don't know if he said that. He certainly could have. Then again somebody may be exploiting other text and it be a half truth. It could use some research. Where did you find it?

My first response when I saw that picture was to assume the photographer caught him not paying attention. He appeared to be looking at people in the audience. I'd have to see him doing that everytime the Anthem is played to believe that article, or at least see the link and get the comment authenticated. Seems like propaganda and if so, very unfair. Those things always have a counter productive consequence when exposed. You know, people will see Obama being treated unfair and associate the 'bad guy' image to the opposing side. Just because some one was treated unfairly doesn't make them good and just because someone on the opposing side was unfair doesn't make that side bad but we are people of limited brain power and that's how it usually washes out. A strategist for Obama would be clever to plant that story because it is bound to bring more support to him in the end.

NO! and the publicans clowns strike again Agitated? Irritable? Hostile? Aggressive? Impulsive? Restless? House Republicans may be heading off a cliff in November, but give them credit for perseverance. Even after the new slogan they floated -- "The Change You Deserve" -- was discovered to be trademarked ad copy for the antidepressant drug Effexor, GOP leaders decided to go with the rollout anyway... washingtonpost.com
