Lefty salute, fumbling with his cell phone"Nuclear Football".

This is going to be an interesting 4 years...

I bet that’s painful for him to have to try and show respect.

[Robert A Cook PE]

WTF?

Oh yeah. He is a real CinC. Riiiiiiiiiight.

(At least Kerry knew what hand to use.)

[TexasTransplant]

what a dickwad

[mylife]

Oh ..Puke!

[Allegra]

A Muslim saluting with his left hand...

Verrry insulting.

I remember that the first thing Clinton aides did in the White House was piss off the military. That began a rocky relationship. Probably more of the same from Obama and his staff.

[Prole]

I read somewhere that 80% of the entire military voted for McCain-Palin.

Gonna be interesting to see how much revenge Obama enacts on these folks for voting against his communist punk-@ss.

[little jeremiah]

Such thugscum.

[KoRn]

I can’t believe this joke was elected president of our country.

WTF??

The more you think about it, the more shocking it really is. We elected a man that has ZERO accomplishments and experience. All he has ever done was deliver a speech at a DNC and defeat Hillary in the democrat primaries.

Those Marines don’t have to salute him! BHO is nothing. He isn’t their senior in any form nor their commander. What a jerk. Left-handed, no less.

[timestax]

Makes W look like a genius!

I was wondering when that would come out. LOL He’s so much better at the middle finger salute.

[Names Ash Housewares]

I respect the office he will hold.

But I will NEVER respect Obama.
I will NEVER forget or forgive his betrayal of our troops on the battlefield. He championed defeat, he voted against funding them, he accused them of war crimes.

Words fail.

[celtic gal]

The article said no photos were taken..Photos are not allowed at certain parts of a military installation but the gym?
It will be a hoot to see him salute with his southpaw..I can tell you the Marines won't say word one but will have a good snicker about it. We had no respect for Clinton and this guy well may fall in that category too.

[I see my hands]

[The KG9 Kid]

Do they have anyone that goes over military protocol with the incoming CIC? Obama needs someone who knows to give him some instruction.

I bet the Marines nearby were hoping that Obama wasn't going to do something silly like salute them. The Marines aren't obligated to do anything but look at him and think "What's that dude doing?".

Obama is not in the executive chain of the military, has not been sworn in as President, isn't an officer of any kind, is saluting with his left hand, isn't facing anyone in particular, is holding an object in his hand, has no recognizable uniform, and for some bloody reason took the initiative to salute a USMC Lance Corporal.

"Who are you, man?" would be the appropriate response from the Marines at the scene. I hated seeing civilian VIPs on base for these reasons. I once saw Mexican Army generals getting a tour of Camp Pendleton and made sure everyone knew that they were nobodies.

[Who is John Galt?]

BO is just our very own Neville Chamberlain, looking for the first chance to screw us (meaning the United States) to death, as he attempts to make it all look 'noble'.

Just my HO...
