Did Obama Fail to Put Hand Over Heart for U.S. Anthem in Moscow? But Do So for Russian Anthem?

This has not been confirmed, the The American Thinker speculates:

An anti-Obama website, The Obama File, posts a photograph purporting to show President Obama putting his hand over his heart during the playing of the Russian national anthem, during his visit to Moscow.


How can it possibly be a genuine photograph, when we know that the President didn't put his hand over his heart during the playing of the American national anthem, as demonstrated in this now-infamous photograph taken during the campaign?

It is sad when, even if this is untrue, our President is of such dubious character than it is within the realm of possibility. Developing...

UPDATE: The above photo of Obama holding his hand over his heart during the Russian anthem is not a fake. It was taken during his visit to the tomb of the unknown soldier.

Here's video. You can't see where his hands are during America's anthem. Say, are Michelle Obama's hands at her side during America's national anthem?

If we can believe the AP, however, Michelle Obama did put her hand over her heart during a Russian anthem. View this photo, and its description. It shows Michelle Obama with her hand over her heart. The description reads:

If you watch the video at the above link, it clearly shows that Obama laid the wreath during a Russian anthem (I don't believe it's their national anthem). Which places MO's hand over her heart during that same anthem.

Finally, if you watch the video, and note the location of the band and Russian troops, it's clear that whatever Obama is holding his hand over his heart for, is not the American national anthem. In the picture, the troops are at some distance and appear to be marching. In the video, however, when the American national anthem begins, the troops are close up and stationary. They're even facing in a different direction.

Once again, I am forced to call shenanigans.
