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.
**************************
It means nothing.
Wearing the lapel pin - means nothing.
Singing the anthem - means nothing.
What determines how patriotic you are is whether or not you pay taxes (Biden).
Makes sense.
To make room for another speaker. Why not shorten a few others if the addition was so important.
Change? yes, Obama would bring change. Dramatic change.
