Does This Make George H.W. Bush Unpatriotic?

The Conservative blogosphere says that Barack Obama isn't patriotic enough to be President because he was photographed without his hand over his heart during the National Anthem.

Here's a photograph of George H.W. Bush at a ceremony commemorating the 10th anniversary of the liberation of Kuwait. Have you seen other photos like this one? Send them our way.

The AP caption reads:

GOOD FIND!!!!

I tell you some Republicans are full of Cow dung for questioning Obama's patriotism.

I bet he doesn't even have a Yellow Ribbon magnet on his car. How can he consider himself patriotic?

Yes.

No flag lapel pin, either. He's obviously a commie pinko.

Only if you’re simple minded, and we all know who they are.

No hand over his heart AND no flag lapel pin!! How outrageously unpatriotic!! I heard he even sunk so low as to use a parachute made of hemp when he ejected from his plane in WWII!! So George H.W. Bush is an unpatriotic hippie liberal!! In hindsight, it's so obvious...

Because he is a member of the German Order of Illuminati, the chapter at Yale, Skull and Bones, his ALLEGIANCE lies in the FACISM of a SINGULAR one world government. His father tried to do his part, fortunately for us, Hitler was bat-shit-crazy.

I watched the NASCAR race from California on Sunday (rain delay caused the finish to be run on Monday)

No one, not a single soul I saw on TV, put their hand over their hearts during the "NATIONAL ANTHEM"...

I guess NASCAR Drivers, Crew and fans are just not PATRIOTIC!!!

p.s. To a man, each male on camera DID remove their hats, as custom dictates, during the song...even the guys from ZZ Top!

I think he was just lost in thought, trying to remember where he was on Nov 22, l963.
