I can't remember a single US medal winner who did NOT place his (or her) hand over his heart But I did notice that not many of them sang, however remember that they are athletes, not singers; it could be that the most patriotic thing they could have done was to keep their mouth shut rather than squawk out our Anthem! Or maybe they were more interested in hearing the Anthem played while they stood atop the podium than they were in hearing themselves sing it.

I would have a hard time saying that this was our best Olympic team ever, unless you're talking about potential and not results. The track results were far below expectations, thanks to dropped batons, surging Jamaicans, and so on. And the Michael Phelps Show overshadowed things like Katie Hoff and Kate Zeigler winning just three of their projected eight medals, and none of their projected four golds. And I shouldn't even mention the US Boxers, who won all of one medal-- a bronze; it was their worst showing ever.
