So, I was checking my RSS feeds, and discovered a new Snopes.com article about Barack Obama apparently not placing his hand over his heart during the national anthem. Personally, I do not give a crap about what he does with his hands, as long as he is respectful. No, what bugged me about the video is the singing:
People are freaking out how Obama is so unpatriotic, but does no one care about the woman "singing" the song? What the hell is she trying to accomplish? If an eighteen-year-old computer geek who hasn't taken choir in over a year can sing better than you, there is a problem.
Seriously, I am more offended by the people who did put their hands over their hearts. I would have put mine in my ears.
At the FIRST Robotics Championship in Atlanta, we had some woman come out and sing an overly-glamourized pop version of the song. Is this our idea of respecting the nation? Would it seriously kill anyone to sing it correctly? Sheesh.
