While I'm in the opposite corner of Obama, I'll give him a pass on this one. He's an Ivy Leaguer and it doesn't appear they have a US Govt 101 course in their schools.
The U.S. Flag Code clearly states that during the national anthem, non-military citizens should face the flag and put their right hand over their hearts....or stomach.
EDIT: This is a joke and an attempt to point out that it's unreasonable to jump on Obama because he doesn't always put his hand on his heart during the anthem. Just look around at any sporting event and many people don't have their hands over their hearts, it's not because they're disrespectful they just don't know.
