His choice of not doing the 'proper' gesture during the national anthem could very well be symbolic. I see it as Obama not wanting to respectfully acknowledge the country in it's current state due to the political corruption in the Bush administration and how the current president is doing things. I know I'm not proud of many decisions this country has decided to make.
