I borrowed this from Betty's blog - It'sboopchile@blogspot.com.
It is apparently several pres. candidates standing for the flag salute. Obama not only did not put his hand over his heart, he also did not recite the pledge.
I am seeing more and more people refusing to honor the flag or pledge. Many of them are younger so I try not to judge them for their IGNORANCE of what we have here and the human suffering that bought it.
But to have a pres candidate in that ignorant group!!
What is he thinking??...he wants to be the future commander and chief?

I will say I support his right here in America to make that choice, maybe that is something one should "salute"?

Do you think he really stood there and didn't say the pledge? That would be plain stupid. Does he do this at every event? Surely it would be prime time news if he never pledged allegiance. There has got to be more to this story than what the picture portrays. I'm not ready to judge the man without more detail.
You are right about giving others the benefit of the doubt.
I went to snopes.com;

Their research confirms that it is true although there are other pictures of him with hand over heart. He has given up his flag lapel pin also...maybe he is trying to make a statement? Odd timing if so.
