This is an internet myth. The Obamas never attended a flag burning ceremony, nor would they attend such an event, since they love and respect the flag. I enclose a link that debunks this and other related myths about the president and the flag.
Before the Remembrance Day ceremony, the flag is typically raised to full mast at the start of the day, symbolizing respect and honor for those who have served in the military. As the ceremony approaches, the flag is often lowered to half-mast in a solemn tribute to fallen soldiers. This act signifies mourning and remembrance, creating a poignant atmosphere for the observance. After the ceremony, the flag is usually returned to full mast, symbolizing hope and resilience.
The only time you lower a flag to raise it is during a flag ceremony, such as raising the flag to half-staff in remembrance of a national tragedy or to honor a fallen hero, and then raising it back to full staff at the conclusion of the ceremony.
