More than the stupid salute I’m bothered by the Marines who continually let him pass by without arresting and detaining him.

If I was Secret Service, I would have a real problem putting my life on the line for scum like BO and his chow-loving wookie.

Not that the Marines and Secret Service don’t serve with honor, but I wouldn’t mind letting a knife welding weirdo get a bit close, just to laugh at the dork’s expressions later on.

Reagan did it because he want to honor them.

Clinton did it for the photo op.

Regan did not care if the cameras were there when he did it.

Clinton only did anything for the cameras.

I think that is a very cute and sweet picture.

And there is no way a fricken cup should be compared to a beloved pet.

Besides resident evil’s “salute” was a very half-assed attempt.

Damn forgot to mention he had another hand that could have held that cup or easily have had one of his minions hold the damn cup.

NO, as Obama did not have to return the salute. The insulting salute with a paper cup, head lowered,and he kept moving sid not show respect....and did he greet the soldier is unkown to me, that would have been all that was needed. As Commander in Chief I have trouble seeing them as civilians...although they are.

I was fortunate to serve under Pres Reagan who did return a salute, although they never have to do so, but all usually greet the soldier.

Being sarcastic in another post, I said a groundhog would make a better President...when I pass a groundhog on the road here eating kudzu, he stands upright and looks me in the eye, even in my car....at least he stands at attention until I get by him...lol

That was the classic pledge of allegiance gesture back in the day.

Scouts did the same thing. FDR was simply doing the same gesture, not the common military salute of today.

You are right, of course....I keep forgetting he isn’t an officer as C in C.....I have always believed when at all possible the C in C should have been prior military.

I miss the 80 s and the honorable statesmen. A different time, and different attitude. That changed under the Clintons, as Hillary wanted the Marine’s in street clothes, whined, and degraded the honor of being security at WH for many Marines.

That's an insult to groundhogs :-)

We have a leftist viper as President.

Too bad he didn’t spill what ever was in the cup on his sorry ass face. Wish it had been extremely HOT coffee.

Rofl...are you sure? I think if they run too many Rino’s; I’ll write in Martin the Groundhog as my candidate. ;)

Of course, some of the feminists may not like the fact the groundhogs whistle once in awhile. As a female I never understood the bru ha ha about all that. Some call the little vegetarians.. Whistle Pigs....I like the name Groundhog.

I live in NC where the groundhogs are plentiful and polite...what type of groundogs do you have in your area?
I have never understood the PA deal of whether Phil sees his shadow or not, and six more weeks of winter of not. Does that really work?

I see what you mean about the insult, and maybe a rattlesnake might be more appropriate for the leftist viper in the WH.
