This was a total hoax and is explained at http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/obama-pin.htm. There was a picture taken where he did not have his hand over his heart, but it is believed that it was a photo taken before he put his hand over his heart. The e-Rumor that was circulated was a satire and some people actually believed it!! It was so ridiculous that I cannot believe anyone would have actually believed it, but they did. They immediately started raggin' on the President. You can always check out these emails at hoax.com also. Remember, if it sounds like it couldn't have happened, it probably is untrue. Check it out before you spread them around to friends.

Obama was never on "Meet the Press" in Sept. of 2008. This whole controversy came about when an article by John Semmens was published in the "Arizona Conservative." It was a satirical piece which included Obama saying that he and his wife had attended flag burnings in the past, and the National Anthem should be changed to "I'd Like to Teach the World To Sing." The e-mail that went around stated that Obama was on the Sep. 7, 2008 airing of the show. The actual guests were Joe Biden and Tom Friedman. It was a complete hoax.
