Buzz surrounding a video showing President Obama stepping off Marine One on Tuesday and saluting two U.S. Marines while holding a travel cup has not been a point of conversation between the president and his top spokesman.
The video uploaded to the White House Instagram on Tuesday showed Obama saluting the Marines while holding a white cup in his right hand as he apparently fiddled with his suit coat button with his left.

"Are we surprised?" Republican strategist Karl Rove said on Fox News on Tuesday. "After all we've got a chai-swilling, golf-playing, basketball trash-talking, leading-from-behind 'I got no strategy, Osama bin Laden is dead, GM is alive' community-organizing commander in chief," he said.

Love it! That sure sums it up! Well, he forgot “Muslim terrorist loving,” but otherwise, he got most of it.

The Prez must have had a bad night, not being able to let go of that cup. Looks like the stress is getting to him. Poor little thing. He can't handle the job. Can't even salute properly anymore. That's how tired he is. I know! He needs another vacation!!! That's it. Obama worked 5 days in a row and now needs another vacation.

The best the left has come up with as a “defense” is when Bush saluted while holding a dog.
