So, Barack Obama is irritated by that photo of him without his hand over his heart.

What crap.

Obama said the photo was taken during the singing of the national anthem, not the pledge.

“My grandfather taught me how to say the Pledge of Allegiance when I was 2,” Obama said, his annoyance obvious. “During the Pledge of Allegiance you put your hand over your heart. During the national anthem you sing.”

Um, I’m sorry. I didn’t grow up in this country. In fact, I didn’t learn the pledge of allegiance until I was fifteen and moved back to his country.

But even I know, and have known since I was little growing up overseas, that you put your hand over your heart for the National Anthem.

Everybody knows. Or at least everyone should.
