He Missed That One

Christopher Ruddy from Newsmax discussed a few the "unfair" criticisms of Obama in his "Obama's Real Problem" editorial on the twentieth.

He mentions accusations of Obama being a "secret Muslim" and not putting his hand on his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance. 

I agree with Ruddy in that they draw attention away from the "real" reasons not to vote for Obama.  However, I will not fault anyone for voting against him for those reasons.  (Any vote against Obama or Hillary or pretty-much-any-democrat-running-for-any-office seems to be a good thing this election season.)

Ruddy completely missed the National Anthem where Obama did not put his hand over his heart.  Unlike the pledge or Muslim "controversies," that was indisputable.

Obama gave a brief explanation of this in an interview after the event.  He said that his grandfather taught him to put his hand on his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance.  Apparently, he was taught that during the National Anthem, you are supposed to cup your hands under your testicles as though they were about to fall off.
