What is worse, this?

You are actually permitted to salute if you’re holding something that you can’t put down, for one reason or another, but notice that Bush did not put the dog to his forehead. He gave a nice, crisp looking salute.

Obola likes Marines just fine. He hits on them all the time.

0bama is a pig - ‘nuff said.

Transferring that styrofoam cup to his left hand required too much thinking for Obama. They didn’t have that class at Harvard.

[-YYZ-]

I know that the president is technically the CINC, but I always thought that saluting was reserved for people actively serving in the military (or possibly retired from) in uniform to others in the same circumstance. The president is not a military man and not wearing a uniform - should he be giving a military salute at all?

Doesn’t surprise me that Obama gives no care to the proper protocols, as I don’t think he respects them (or the military in general). Even so, he should know better than to give a salute while holding something else in the same hand.

Barney’s right paw and right forehead are not visible in the photo. I will assume that he is saluting too.

I understand that it is correct to salute with whatever is in your right hand when you are being chased or followed by a Wookie.

[plain talk]

This is a typical distraction tactic. Bush salute is respectful and his right hand is doing nothing but saluting. It is hardly offensive like Obama’s. Nice try though.

The libs on Facebook are posting this pic , saying it's just as bad as what Obama did .

Couldn’t he have put the coffee in one hand and saluted with the other or perhaps given the coffee to the First Lady and taken it back after saluting? After six years in the White House, he should have known better.
