He absolute does. Harvard men aren't given to saluting any thing. They see it as retrograde, a simplistic act of patriotism. That's the cause much of the trouble the world has seen. When you attend Harvard you are taught to consider yourself a citizen of the world and that patriotism is a refuge for scoundrels and fools. The flag is just a symbol of failed ideas. Throwing ROTC off the campus, that's the stuff that makes a Harvard man. Joining the military is not for the Ivy League. Senator Obama does salute the Flag. There is a lot of question though as to what to do or what Senator Obama does, in reference to the flag, when the National Anthem is being played. The etiquette is: to either hold ones hand over their heart, or clasp and hold your hands down in front of you. Either is correct, I do the latter.
What else can I help you with?

Why was the rattlesnake never used as an emblem?
The Tea Party and the military were bonded by this flag so President Barack Obama turned aside the flag to break the bond. Obama has no power to "break the bond" of the Gadsden Flag, although some leftist organizations have tried, and this flag is a part of our history and is not offensive to Americans that love America.
Why does Obama not display the US flag during speeches?
This question has a false premise. The U.S. flag frequently features in the background when President Obama makes speeches. The most recent State Of The Union address is one example.
Where can you find Meet the Press story with Obama Sept 2008 on flag opinion?
You can't find it because it's a myth. It never happened. Barack Obama was not on Meet the Press in September 2008, and he never said anything about the flag on that show or any other. The flag myth is a false story, circulated by his political enemies. There is no evidence that Mr. Obama ever went on any talk show and insulted the flag. Further, when Barack Obama did appear on Meet the Press, in December 2008 (for his first interview as president), he never discussed anything about the flag, nor was he asked any questions about that subject.
What is the new flag that Obama want?
He does not want any new flag. This is an internet myth, based on some campaign items the president's team was selling. It is very common for candidates to use a flag (with the candidate's name and logo) on shirts or coffee mugs. The Obama campaign sold these items to supporters, as other presidents have also done. But Mr. Obama has no intention of changing the American flag, which is a symbol of our nation and does not belong to any one candidate.
There is a picture of Obama not pledging alligance to the flag?
First, the question is based on a myth. There are some anti-Obama websites that began circa 2008 to spread the false story that Mr. Obama was a "secret Muslim" who "hated America" and did not respect the flag. President Obama is a Christian, does not hate America, and all reports that he disrespected the flag are partisan nonsense. There are several older pictures of Mr. Obama not placing his hand over his heart, but the pictures have nothing to do with the flag-- they are pictures of him during the playing of the National Anthem. It is only recently (since 9/11/2001) that people began placing hand over heart during the playing of the anthem, but it was never required. So, the short answer is "No, there is not any picture of President Obama refusing to salute the flag," unless such a picture has been faked by his political enemies.
Does Barack Obama burn flags?
No, he does not. This is an internet myth, spread by his political opponents, and there is no evidence to support it. Mr. Obama has always shown respect for the flag.
