Senator Government’s staff decided to throw aside The Star-Spangled Banner. His supporters didn’t seem to care. We are all surprised.

• 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.

 Remember that line on November 5th.
