Poor Obama.

He’s obviously broken his arm. Not his elbow droop during the salute.

And he’s gotten so thin he cannot cast a proper shadow, unlike the objects in the background.

No wonder he didn’t want the troops to see him in this condition.

Give him a break.

Just imagine how many practice salutes it took for him to learn how not to 'flip the bird' with his saluting fingers in that pose.

He is at least saluting with the proper hand,...the other proper hand...

Which to some is better than no acknowledgment at all,...

His left hand is still limp,....a Don't Ask, Don't Tell salute posture.

Quite some effort considering he appears to be ambidextrous.
