I bet thats painful for him to have to try and show respect. You could have ended the sentence after 'try'.

Idiot. Take the crap out of your hands before even trying to render military honors and not with your LEFT hand.
Left handed saluting is disrespectful.

That type of salute has been around long before the Nazis. Middle East armies used the salute long before the Nazis adopted it. The use of this type of salute by Middle East groups and armies predates the Nazi Party. The same goes for the Swastika. The Swastika was used in some U.S. Army units before WWII and long before that by Native Americans. Also used by the Romans. Mussolini copied it from the Romans and Hitler then copied it from him.

“WTF?
Oh yeah. He is a real CinC. Riiiiiiiiiight.
(At least Kerry knew what hand to use.)”
I haven’t been able to verify it, RAC, but I think barry poked himself in the eye while executing this disgusting gaffe. I can’t speak with absolute certainty like the msm does without worrying about accuracy, but I think he is going to seek a retroactive Purple Heart once he becomes Commander-in-Chief.

Obama is fair game here. No photos were allowed to be taken at the event.
So, if a photo happens to appear from somewhere, who can say it is true or false? There are no other photos to dispel it.
It's his own fault for being so secretive.

Why does he get to use a gym on a military base? How does that crap work?
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. I'm whichu guys. What's up with the "weekly radio address" by the president-Select? Also, the almost daily "press conferences" wherein the media ALL STAND when The Odd One enters the room. I don't get this, have never seen any of this in any president-elect..........I also read in Time mag that Barry's "people" were in the White House consulting with current admin staff as early as September of this year.

BHO, on the other hand, keeps company with traitors, and demonstrably is no gentleman, and it remains to be seen what his citizenship status is. Agreed...

Read the article and compare it to the photo posted, particularly the following:
As he walked out of the Semper Fit Center, his gray T-shirt soaked in sweat, he lifted his right hand and gave a quick salute to two Marines in fatigues who were standing in the distance.
To: A.A. Cunningham
I saw this article and it said at the outset photos were not allowed to be taken..in some area on military installations this is true..but that would be at say the flight line not a gym. But in anycase. if that picture was taken outside the Semper Fit gym then this idiot has a lot to learn..never ever salute with the left hand with something in it no less. Salutes are done with the right hand. This guttersnipe is going to be as bad or worse, worse I’d say since on second thought he is slicker than Slick Willie, Clinton and I dare say, the military are going to coin a nickname for him like we did for The Coward In Chief.
