according to the United States Code,
Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... During rendition of the national anthem when
the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand
at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. At the very
least, 'Stand and Face It'.
Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, 'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't
want to be perceived as taking sides, Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in
the world to whom the Ame rican flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem
itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all.
It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the
song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I
might salute it.'We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as
to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my
intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our
Middle East Brethren. If we as a Nation of warr ing people, should conduct
ourselves as the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or
period of mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I
will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at
war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts.
We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice. My
wife disrespects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and I have
attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has
her views and I have mine'. Of course now, I have found myself about to become
the President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will use my
power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path of hope.
My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First Family. Indeed,
CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America.
