AP- “On departing from the White House to Andrews Air Force Base, Obama broke from tradition as he boarded Marine One, the presidential helicopter,
on the South Lawn.
He seemed to stun the marine standing at attention by reaching out to shake his hand.
The marine obliged, shaking the president’s hand before returning to a steady salute.”
I can’t decide which is more offensive , Barry not returning the salute or the AP describing the young man as sea life.
Oh! I get it! It isn't that he forgot what he's supposed to do, he's just breaking new ground.
Gosh, I'm so glad they explained that.
