The Republican Party and their likely presidential candidate have nothing new to offer the American people. As a result, they are busy hanging out with Karl Rove and his robots trying to make up lies about the Democrats.
The Republican smear machine said that it was unpatriotic that Sen. Obama did not have his hand over his heart during the national anthem. I've been to hundreds of public events in my over 50 years, and a majority of people do not put their hands on their hearts during the national anthem. However, 99.9% of Americans put their hands on their hearts to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. As a teacher who spent many years in the classroom, my students and the students of the public schools where I taught did not place their hands on their hearts for the national anthem.
