Poor Michelle Obama!  

Sorry but I didn't watch this or notice it. I wouldn't let it bother me anyway.

By your reasoning EVERYONE who places their hand "over their heart" during the National Anthem or the Pledge of Allegiance has a deformity because the heart is actually closer to the middle of the chest! I shocked, I didn't expect this kind of nitpicking from you. Actually, it's not required and in my area it's rare for pepole to place their hands over their hearts for the National Anthem. For the Pledge of Allegiance, yes, that's what I was taught, but for the Anthem we just stand.

Oh geeeezzz......

Because she is actually a reptile - just kidding - kind of.....

Oh well she dont have one and really we get correct of where the heart is its more to the middle and a little left as I feel mine pumping away lololo
reall when I di the pledge the palm of my hand is in the middle of my chest.
Isnt that where yours is too? Just wondering if every one puts their hand that way or is it just me?

Lets keep the discussions to political issues. You are trying to find something to criticize her for and make her look bad. If she did not salute the flag then you would have something to complain about. If you look at a group of people saluting the flag you will see the hand anywhere from the shoulder to over the stomach and they are not trying to make a statement.

So Michelle Obama doesn't know where her heart is - at least she paid her respects to those killed by the monster who called himself a Dr. Here in the UK there is a total idiot and waste of space calling himself Prime Minister - Gordon Brown. On Sunday the Rememberance Day service took place at the Cenotaph in London. This was attended by all the Royal Family except Prince Charles and Camilla - they are in Canada. Every one, including the Queen and her family, who laid a wreath, stepped back and either saluted or bowed their head for a moment. The only exception to this was Gordon Brown. Little does he realize that those who lost their lives in war are the ones that paved the way for England to be a free country and have a Prime Minister. After this behaviour he should IMO have the decency to call a general election. He needs to go and the sooner the better. Just before this he really showed himself up with a handwritten letter he sent to the Mother of a soldier killed in battle. His spelling was so atrocious that this lady Mrs. James called the Sun newspaper and they copied and published the letter for all to see. He didn't even spell her sons name correctly \nd he went as far as crossing part of it out and still not getting it correct. Then the brain dead idiot had the gall to go on TV and make a speech saying he didn't make any spelling mistakes. WRONG. When people kept on talking about the letter he called Mrs. James to apologize, and in a 13 minute call still insisted that he made no mistakes. This man is a sad and poor excuse to be called the leader of the UK government.

At least they made the attempt to do the proper thing. During the campaigning when they had the the National Anthem sang at a get together 0bama just stood there with his hands at his side and refused to show anything...ppl were outraged. I guess he got the message and at least puts on the image now...as for Michelle, at least she got her hand in the right general area.

**STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**

I don't necessarily think you have to play your hand over your chest during the national anthem to show you're patriotic. It's like religion, does a Christian have to go to church to prove he or she is religious? No. I do understand what you're saying though, but I think everyone has their way of doing something. And it might seem a bit weird if there were 99 people with their right hand over their heart but one didn't; those things tend to stick out, but I don't think it's an indicator as to if someone is patriotic to their country. Plus I remember during high school, we had to stand for the pledge of allegiance every morning, and some students said the words, some didn't but had their arm across their heart, and some just stood there. So, like everything else, people just have their own ways of doing things. And also, maybe she did have her hand across her heart but the few seconds the camera showed her, it was when she moved her hand to her shoulder. Who knows? But pretty observant anyway :)

lol, good one !
