You're still failing to see the major difference, and it is a major one. This is a government official acting in his official capacity, that is massively different than the playing of the national anthem by a private corporation at a sporting event. If you want to get into the playing of the national anthem at am political event then maybe you'd be arguing a legitimate point.
