I was taught by my grandfather that you put your hand over your heart during the pledge, but during the Star-Spangled Banner, you sing!" Obama said.That's what we were taught, too, and seeing pledging during the national anthem always mildly annoys me. It's similar to people genuflecting where no tabernacle is present --I take it as proof we have no idea what we're doing anymore. But that's small potatoes. The really unpatriotic thing is what that woman in the video is doing to our national hymn.
Update: Apparently Barack & I were misinformed.
