I told him it was during the anthem. I saw the video. Obama was the only one singing along. He obviously knew all the words.stop w/ the rw lie chain emails CrusaderFrank Photo was taken during anthem, not pledgeUh oh!
Can't believe the hearing is an opportunity for Secretary Clinton to look presidential without any clowns on the stage next to her.
Uh oh!
Matt Paul, an organizer of the event, and a video from ABC News confirm that the photo was taken as someone sang the Star-Spangled Banner .
Oddly, the accurate caption from Time is included in the chain e-mail. But someone has added that "the article said" Obama refused to say the pledge and would not put his hand on his heart.
There is no such article on the Time Web site, and searches of the Web and newspaper/magazine databases could only find blog postings that repeat the claim from the e-mail. So it's unclear where the allegation originated.
