I keep wondering why there is such a problem with Obama and the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem? Surely he knows better than pulling this type of bonehead stunt. But then again, maybe he's so confident in victory he doesn't have to try to conceal his real feelings of contempt.
Bencal, who sings the anthem for a number of school events and is actively involved in local community theatre, had been contacted by the Obama campaign to sing the anthem. He agreed to do so, then was told later in the evening the anthem had been scratched from the program. Bencal said he was told by the campaign the decision was a simple programming change to make room for another speaker.
"I guess it just wasn't meant to be," Bencal said.
Sandra Abrevaya, communications director for the Obama campaign's Manchester office, confirmed the choice had simply been a last-minute scratch from the rally's program, which included the Pledge of Allegiance.
