Obama: No Hand Over Heart for National Anthem But Bows to Royalty – Corrected
ByCorrection: The description of the 2nd photo is inaccurate and was not taken at the Veteran’s Day ceremoy. My apologies. Not that it was much of a leap of the imagination, as he’s done it before.
Here’s President Obama bowing to the Japanese emporer. (Scott at Power Line wrote an excellent piece about the meaning of the bow.)
And here’s Dear Leader during the national anthem at the Veterans Day ceremony.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, these two photos should tell you all you need to know about this president and his (lack of) love of country.
H/T Lew
Update: Do you think the New York Times will blast Obama the way they blasted Bill Clinton for almost bowing to the Japanese Emperor?

What a phony. He’ll probably be the only U.S. President to ever be arrested on charges of sedition when out of office. He’s gonna make Jimmy look like Lincoln.
How stupid can you people be? Can’t you tell photoshop when it is in front of you. You poor pathetic subscribers to the racist world.. I feel so sorry for you and for your progeny. You have no idea how out of touch you really are
pgriekspoor YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND DESERVE TO BE BANNED-THIS IS THE VIDEO OF THE POS BOWING http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kyD_e0Y7FQ&feature=player_embedded
NEW NAME : O BOW MAO
I don’t know what a pgriek is, but I know what droppings are.
spoor

“You poor pathetic subscribers to the racist world..”
Another reflection on the intelligence of the American Left. Never any reasoned debate, just good old bomb-throwing “racist!”.
Obama doesn’t need to be photo-shopped to illustrate where his loyalties lie—he has been illustrating himself every single day since announcing his candidacy; and they are certainly not with the United States. He has never been embarrassed or concerned about showing who he is and what he wants–I can’t fathom why his fans on the Left are so insulted when he is called what he is. AWM defined it up there: Obama is spoor.
Way to once again get sucked in by the media. Check your facts sheep…

The above picture is not from the Veterans Day Ceremony… I was there.
Um, except everyone else is saluting because “Hail to the Chief” is playing. So, yes, he’s absolutely not saluting himself. This isn’t from Veteran’s Day and the National Anthem isn’t playing. You should make sure what you’re saying is true before you post it as fact.
Why would the gentleman on the right cover his heart for hail to the chief. And that still does not explain the bow.
The civilian on the stage with his hand over his heart is Arlington’s superintendent of 19 years, John Metzler Jr. Patterson told Truthorfiction.com that Metzler has always made it a tradition to salute the President in this manner at Arlington events.
The second picture is of Obama at Memorial Day ceremonies 2009, and the Army Band is playing “Hail to the Chief.”
In fact, C-SPAN footage (http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/ID/206561&start=0&end=2520) from the event shows that this photo was snapped just after Obama took the stage (around 11:16 on the video) — “Hail to the Chief” was playing, not the national anthem. The others on the podium aren’t saluting veterans or the nation; they’re saluting the commander in chief.
What would you have said if he was saluting himself?
What do you say now? Or is a live C-SPAN video not good enough for those who refuse to believe their own eyes and ears.
Some people see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear, and believe what they want to believe. But the Internet works both ways: Whereas some slimeball took one frame of the video and started an Internet LIE (why?), some of us track down the truth and TRY to set you straight.
