I have stated before that how you can tell if the insult was intentional or not. First of all, left handed people instinctively favor the to use their left hand when holding something like a cup.

Since he knew the military always salutes with the right arm, he used his right claw with the empty cup in it to carry out his despicable insult to the Marines.

Well - let’s start at the beginning...the people, who voted for other elected people - who allowed voter fraud, politically appointed judges, and others - who allowed Obama to go unchecked - to include the US news services (all of them) - did not point out that a group of people in Indiana fraudulently allowed Obama to stay on the ticket during his build up to run for President of the US. Hillary should have been the only one surviving that initial vote...the US news in all their glory has committed treason again the US, the judges and other law enforcement entities have done the same...so before you pen the entire blame on the Marines and the Officers appointed above them - one must go to the beginning...If those Officers and enlisted did act...what would happen to them and would Obama actually be de-throne?

Again - starting at the beginning will give you your answer...

If we are to remain a Republic - then voters need to turn out and vote for the candidate that will do the least harm and can be replaced 4 yrs legitimately...our military should act - but to what end...in doing so - the press would have to be silenced - and what perspective would the US public see that as...since they can’t rationalize voting for a Mormon - let alone let a communist/Islamic moslem infiltrate the White House...

that’s just the way it is right now...let’s pray it changes in NOV 2014!

The oath is to the Protection of the US Constitution - not loyalty to a president...and the military does not serve the president!

It makes me wonder why he who is not mentioned in the oath is still occupying the Oval Office.

Obama’s been president for 6 years. He knows exactly what he’s doing. It would be better if he didn’t salute. Since he is the commander-in-chief, he can justify saluting.

Since he’s never been military and is our ‘civilian leadership’, then he has every justification not to salute.

So, since he chooses to salute, and he chooses to do so in a disrespectful fashion, then it is only fair to assume it’s intentional.

As you can tell from the picture of Pres. Bush holding the dog, the right hand (salute hand) is free of anything. It appears Pres Bush must have just had to control the dog, but it was important to him to salute and do it correctly, so he used his head and upper body to control the dog while he properly saluted with an empty right hand that is acceptably stiff.

They mention Eisenhower not saluting. I expect he got in the habit in wartime. We were taught not to salute so as not to give away the rank structure to enemy surveillance or snipers.

Poster comment

the reason I posted this 5 YO OpEd is because I want everyone to remember how the criminal left wing media gushed over obama’s salute 5 years ago as they run to cover his latest outrage.

Presidential candidates should be asked how many people they think they'll send to die if elected President, to gauge their response and see if they're human enough for the job.

People like zerobama, who believe in and fight for abortion at any time/for any reason, are badly damaged and shouldn't be trusted with the care of a nation and the command of its forces.

We've chosen poorly and that always means some additional remedial instruction in the School of Hard Knocks' Unintended Consequences program.

You salute the rank (CinC) and not the man. That said, render the salute smartly, receive the salute, then do an about face. That's what the Usurper deserves.

Erroneous assertion: “...since they can’t rationalize voting for a Mormon - let alone let a communist/Islamic moslem infiltrate the White House...” MAYBE those who held such a perspective failed to do their sovereign duty and go to the polls and vote, making of themselves a minority for rule of the Republic, but the reality is probably far more sickening, as in the American people as a majority have what they wanted soiling the White House and pissing away the power and respect of America all because they are addicted to the dole from the central authority.

I went to Lejeune for my son’s homecoming. The first Marine I saw was a Military Policeman in the parking lot at the gate. I told him why I was there and gave him a big hug. He stood as stiff as a board, no smile, no reply to my request, but at least he knows he’s loved.

I love it!!! {^)

Remember when Obama first took office, that Tuesday morning I think it was that Air Force One made a fly-by of New York City in a move eerily like 911, and which terrified Manhattan folks for a bit? Official spin is that it was a photo-op for PR photos. I paid very close and special attention to actual news reports with real fact, not journalistic sleight-of-hand to lead you to conclude facts not in evidence.

Knowing the facts -- or lack thereof -- the best explanation for that was that the U.S. military openly defied Obama that day and reminded him exactly who had him by the balls. I believe they did so again with the pirate "negotiations" involving the rescue of the captured ship captain when some SEALS stepped in killed the bad guys.

In real people on the ground, let alone military, probably two in three Americans think Obama stinks like yesterday's diapers. Do the math -- leftists have to cheat with anti-voter-ID illegal motor-voter dead vote machine elections because they are a minority, and leftists dominate America's self-image in the MSM. But the truth is this: Obama's "support," along with support for much of leftism, is illusion, pretend, smoke and mirrors. Illusions always eventually meet reality. It's happening now.

I listened to a pod cast yesterday - http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/e/5/5/e55e32a5cc14a90f/Howard_Davidowitz_23.Sep.14.mp3?c_id=7652821&expiration=1411560820&hwt=8af1c2bbf57fe6f518722a7699022b0e

That basically explains that the debt is built on the middle class who wants all this stuff - but can’t pay for it...it’s going to crash...and Barry is making sure it does not on his watch...while letting the rest of his world responsibility go out the door...all these stores that cater to the middle class are about to go bankrupt...interesting, isn’t it?

Obama, unlike Eisenhower, is a wartime president.

ROFL! Eisenhower's mere presence as CiC deterred wars - while Obama's incompetent weakness attracts enemies like flies to a dungheap.

Calling yourself a "wartime President" when the wars would never have started without your own fecklessness is the height of arrogance.

Has zer0’ really taken much flack over this? I don’t think so.

No, we're in Stage 2 of the cycle.

Conservatives point out some irksome display by Obama. No big deal, just noting his general scumbaggery.

Then, the liberals respond with screams of terror/laughs "Oh my Gaia! Why don't you just impeach him for a coffee cup salute! Bush did something similar once and now you want to kill Obama and burn down villages and shoot gays in the back of the head and kick blacks off the bus! You guys are completely insane! He doesn't even have to salute! You racists are always losing your minds! You just can't stand that he's black! Holy cow, now you want to kill him because of this?!? You're a crazy person!!"
