That Unamerican M*therf*cker. How dare he not put his hand over his heart during the national anthem.

I bet he was just standing there thinking, "Damn, why can't this ####### finish, already? I could be home playing some Mass Effect right now!"

See? There's a reasonable explanation for everything.

A sitting President can do it without criticism, but a presidential candidate cannot. I'm scratching my head

Perhaps a person can get away with not putting their hand over their heart either by standing beneath a really, really big flag - or by wearing an Uncle Sam outfit.

I think its an idea we should pursue

Meanwhile, Barack Obama gets smeared once again.

Okay... so maybe he doesn't like RPG games. Perhaps he wanted to play one of the Call of Duty titles and was just annoyed that he had to be there instead of kicking butt online, using his nickname of "Bushmaster41."

I detect some Freudian phenomena going on here.

Maybe he forget he's still an American, what a mental block.
