While doing so may not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that one is loyal a patriotic, not doing so certainly raises questions.
The flag and the anthem transcends our government. They represent the good of America, whether the current administration is good or not. To salute them is the least any citizen can do.
Obama's failure to do so, coupled with all his other antics, led many to question where his loyalty lies.

I have to agree with you. It's dumb on his part to eschew common signs of patriotism and love of country. He's running for president for crying out loud. Why invite the kind of doubts you have about him. If he wants to reinvent how we show respect to flag and country, best he do it after there's no doubt about where he stands.
