Obama, Is It To Much To Ask - Please Respect Our Flag?

Senator Barack Obama, is it too much to ask that you put your hand on your heart during the National Anthem? I understand taking off your American flag lapel pin but there is a protocol for sitting senators when the National Anthem is played.

In the event you have forgotten, here are the expected protocols according to the American Legion:

During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed there.
