No, this is another of the many internet myths. The president has never made any statement about changing the anthem or changing the flag. He respects them both.

What is the significance of Australia's national anthem?

After a Public Opinon poll in 1974, the then Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam, announced that "Advance Australia Fair" would be Australia's new National Anthem, the tune suggested and favoured by his wife Margaret. This change was short-lived and we returned to "God Save the Queen". A further National Poll in 1977 chose "Advance Australia Fair" as the new National Anthem again, with 2.9 million votes. Finally, "Advance Australia Fair" was proclaimed as the new Australian National Anthem on the 19th of April, 1984.

Was Waltzing Matilda by Banjo Paterson going to be the Australian national anthem?

"Waltzing Matilda" had a chance of becoming Australia's national anthem in the 1970s/1980s. Back in 1973 then Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam wanted a new national anthem instead of "God Save the Queen" and a competition was held. None of the new entries was considered worthy enough, so the existing songs "Advance Australia Fair", "Waltzing Matilda" and "Song of Australia" were proposed. A 1974 national poll found that "Advance Australia Fair" was the most popular choice. In 1977 the Fraser government held a referendum and attached a national plebiscite to choose the National song. "Advance Australia Fair" won with 43%, "Waltzing Matilda" with 28% and "Song of Australia" with 10%, keeping "God Save the Queen" had 19%. Finally in 1984 the Hawke government adopted "Advance Australia Fair" as the national anthem. For "Waltzing Matilda" to become the Australian national anthem would require an extremely wide-spread ground swell of popular support, intense lobbying of federal members and probably another naitonal plebiscite to confirm its choice. Timing would be important, perhaps during next serious fling at becoming a Republic: some will argue for a new national anthem, not to mention a new flag. Fortunately enough people regard the choice of a song about an itinerant stealing a sheep and drowning rather than be taken into custody as somewhat less dignified as the nation's anthem than the present choice.

Did Barack Obama say he wanted a new national anthem?

No, this is another internet myth, and there is no truth to it. He has never said anything about changing the national anthem. There are some internet myths that the president does not love the country or does not love the flag or the national anthem. These stories are false, and there is no evidence to support them. The president has always respected the symbols of this country, including the flag and the national anthem.

First line of protestant Germany's national hymn?

Germany is one country with one national anthem. The idea of a 'protestant German national anthem' doesn't make sense. Moreover, the German national anthemn is secular, that is, non-religious. It the third verse of Das Lied der Deutschen. I wonder if you simply wanted to know some of the more popular protestant hymns?
