Are you sure he isn’t trying to sheild his eyes from the sun.No one could be that dumb.
I wish President Reagan hadn't started the practice. It was positively painful watching Clinton salute. I imagine Obama's attempts will be as bad.
Ping your lists to the lefty salute. If I see him, I probably will not salute him.
The title alone makes me want to throw up!
I figure Obama’s fascination with using the technology will be instrumental in his downfall.
Obama is too glued to the devices and people know it.
Sounds like the excuse they used for Obama: The Euro-Tour.
Incorrect.
Egg-zackley.
You are right! That mere feature esceped me for a moment. Thanks for shining the light of truth on that!
Cheers.
That has to be shocking to see that. On the other hand, I know families where one voted for McC and the other for the big 0...so maybe it was that situation that the poor car found itself in for all to see.
What am I missing....the article doesn’t say anything about a left hand salute; not that I see anyhow.
Exactly what I was thinking. What gets me about this thread is that I fear that Free Republic is turning into the 2009 version of the Democratic Underground.
For criminy sakes, let's not spend the next two years looking for a conspiracy in every word and deed the man does. All that will accomplish is marginalizing the entire Conservative movement to the point that Obama-lini could end up with VETO-PROOF majorities in Congress & the Senate in 2011.
It's got to be GWB lending him "courtesy" that he does not deserve. Otherwise, since he'd resigned the Senate, he's just another civilian, who should not be given access to military facilities. Not until January 8th, will he even legally be President Elect.
What an Arrogant Bastid.
Since he's never released his transcripts, how would we know? Maybe, without his teleprompter, he is that dumb.
????? He's already got majorities on his side, doesn't matter if they are veto proof or not. He'll sign anything they pass. Especially gun control, higher taxes on the rich, Universal Free Health Care, and multitudes of new environmental laws.
Or do you mean "filibuster proof"? That doesn't matter in the House, where the rules don't work that way. In Senate, he's close enough to being filibuster proof (only 1 or 2 votes shy, depending on how Minnesota comes out) that on any given issue, enough of the RINOs or Independents will vote for cloture and they'll have their way (with us!).
Although I prefer to:
The article in the early part said no photos were taken but it seems someone got a picture or perhaps this is an older photo of him shielding his eyes and it looks like he is trying to render a slaute to a couple Marines who were in the area.
The point is, when a salute is rendered to one who rates it, such as a senior officer, it is done with the right hand, never the left. Is this the question you have? If so, I hope my answer helped.
Cheers.
Actually, I did mean VETO-PROOF. That would allow the moonbats to come out in droves and put in some pretty stupid things.
Regardless of what one thinks of Obama’s natural political leanings, even he isn’t crazy enough to ascribe to some of the far left’s ideas, knowing that the electorate can still turn on him big time in ‘12.
However, if there were, say, 67 ‘rat Senators and 291 ‘rat Congress-critters, the Soros gang can run roughshod over anything remotely capitalistic, and Obama-lini would have his political cover.
I was thinking of running my cat for president in 2012. Shes a black and white cat and probably has as much experience.
