More optics he doesn’t get? From the official White House Instagram feed:

No. it's an insulting gesture from a POS to good and decent men.

[surrey]

I hear ya. I despise him more and more with each passing day. Never thought anyone could be more loathsome than Bubba but Barry wins the prize.

bump

[elcid1970]

Grrrrrr......!

):^(

[laplata]

My thoughts, exactly. If Hitlery is elected, she would treat our military worse than this bastard does. Sissy Obama is probably scared one of them will slap him but Hitlery isn’t scared of anyone.

[savedbygrace]

Much too heavy for him to hold.

[BatGuano]

My first thought was what would I do to show disrespect for him as he as “dissed me”? I would not have thought quickly enough but the perfect thing would be to hold my salute and grab my crotch and thrust my groin at him!!! The asshole had time to either take care of the cup by leaving it on the plane or put it in his left hand because the coat is on his left arm. He is a thoughtless schmuck. Damn, he brings out the hate in most of us with this shit.

[surrey]

Let’s hope that Trey Gowdy will scare Cankels.

[Vendome]

Is this bad?

Honest question.

I know nothing of CIC military decorum or rules.

[SkyDancer]

Just like the Clintons, Liberals and Democrats. They all hate the military.

[laplata]

Let’s hope that Trey Gowdy will scare Cankels.

I was wrong in saying she’s not scared of anyone. You make an excellent point.

Trey should have a cross handy when he is around her.

The Marines are mandated to salute, the CIC is under no obligation to salute back. However, if you’re going to salute, render a proper one for G-d’s sake.

[savedbygrace]

Buttoning his coat was more important.

[Chode]

no good filthy queer oxygen thief

[wildbill]

It’s not as though he hasn’t deplaned from that helo before and couldn’t anticipate that a salute would be called for. He easily could have had some aide carry his coffee.

[lonevoice]

Good grief!

Must see video: Direct Video Link

It's bad enough that he did this, but the fact that the White House posted it on their official page has only one of two possible explanations: either they are that clueless about disrespecting our military, or they know exactly what they're doing and deliberately intend to show their contempt.
