Newsbusters' Tim Graham thinks Barack Obama is insufficiently patriotic and pro-Marine. Why? Because the president likes Cole Porter.

Responding to a CBS report that Obama's appearances have featured a pianist performing Porter's “Night and Day” and Sting's “Desert Rose” rather than sticking to “Hail to the Chief,” Graham writes:

To many Americans, this excessive informality suggests a real distaste for “official” or “patriotic” music, not to mention the Marine band that plays it.

Graham didn't provide any quotes or citations to support his contention that “many Americans” think this, so we can only assume he was projecting. In any case, it's an ugly smear to say that Obama has “a real distaste” for the Marine band simply because he enjoys piano renditions of Cole Porter tunes.
