Obama disgraces our Nation and Troops by refusing to show them some respect (photo as evidence)

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I apologize up front for this vanity, but this photo is very telling.

In the photo, we see our military rendering honors to the Veterans (both deceased and still with us).

Why is it that this punk stands there with his hands folded? He makes it really obvious that he could really care less about America and our great Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, Sailors, Coast Guardsmen and Merchant Marines.

Why does he fail to salute our Veterans and our great society?

The country is crying out for a leader and there's no one on the horizon. If one did arise, the media would take him down.

He is pure evil.

Their last mission is to take down the military. When it's all in rubble, they will be the ones buried at the very bottom.

“God help us if his SS detail bails, Dave. Who knows what miscreants will replace them.”

I have a hard time believing that some of the thugs near Potus are SS. They look like the thugs used by Malcolm X to the current Black Muslim leaders.

Why does he fail to salute our Veterans and our great society?

Because he hates us? Just sayin'...

This man is a real piece of crap.

That about sums it up.

I don't know what was occurring in the 5-25-09 picture, but it looks like Zero has adjusted his image since six months ago. From what I can tell, this is 5-25-09

And this is 11-11-09 during the National Anthem, according to your link.

Re: your comment on the rainfall... Yes, it was raining all day. The temperature in the D.C area on November 11 ranged between 46 and 60 degrees, with rainfall for the day of .94 inches.

Would I be wrong if I thought most reading the thread were given the impression the photo was taken on Veteran’s Day given the timing? More fodder for snopes.com.

It's best when the photos and other posts we put up here on FR are verified to the greatest degree possible. I hope we are not slipping in that regard. Perhaps a video recording of the whole event would tell a fuller story.

Someone on another thread posted a different picture identified as being on 5-25-09, that matched the clothing in the picture at the top of this thread...leading me to believe that it is from 5-25-09 as well.

I've now found a few other photos of that day... it's not that hard to do (see below).

U.S. President Barack Obama is saluted by Admiral Michael Mullen, left, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Major General Richard Rowe, commander of the Military District of Washington, D.C., during Memorial Day Ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, on May 25, 2009.

Obama only salutes this flag:

Well, to be fair, he probably salutes this one too...

You’re not telling me anything I don’t already know.

Photos taken in May being recycled in November - the day after Veteran’s Day as though it were fresh new evidence.

Here is the video. Look at 2:33-2:37 the video shows he does have hand on heart and then camera pans away. Camera returns at 2:56 and Obama still has hand on heart till 2:59 when camera pans away again.

The problem was when do you put your hand back down. As can be clearly scene as the last loooooooooong note is played at 3:29 a number of people lower their hands (including the couple directly to the right of the trumpet) at 3:38. The woman in red to the left still has her hand on her heart for a few more seconds. Had the photo been taken right then, it would appear the couple to the right were unpatriotic because in a photo their hands were down when compared to others.
