A quickie late afternoon palate cleanser via the NRCC. Two years ago, he’d have polished off his latte inside the cabin so that he could salute properly in front of the cameras. Two years later, he’s in the YOLO phase of his presidency. The guy just started bombing a new country in the Middle East without so much as gesturing towards Congress for statutory approval. Be happy he still salutes at all.
I’m with Dan Foster here, in fact:
At least he didn’t hand one of the Marines his latte. http://t.co/b5dJ0qy75W

Yeah. But don’t think it didn’t cross his mind.
Disgraceful bastard !
On Drudge, they are calling it Semper Latte.... Funny...
Well, as I was taught a long time ago, you are saluting the position/title not the man. You know that’s what is going through those Marines minds as they watch this dufus...
He sends them to die even as he increasingly doesn’t bother to hide his contempt. How can anyone question that his social engineering of the military is purely intended to destroy it?
'Course, if he did, she'd probably sock him for acting all sexist and whatnot.
It could have been worse.
He could have handed the cup to one of the Marines and said ‘here, hold this’ as he turned to help Michelle down the stairs or bent over to tie his shoe.

Newsies are trying to provide cover by saying [inserting pic of GW Bush and pet saluting] sometimes the Prez’s hands are full.
From the pic, however, it appears that Obama’s other hand is just holding his jacket closed, and perhaps a coat draped over it.
It would not seem to take that great an effort to shift things to free up his right hand.
Cut him some slack. He’s multi-tasking.
I give him credit for not throwing his garbage on the ground the way his Global Warming Hoax Denier freak friends did in New York the other day.
He hates the military, so no surprise there.

That old, fish-eyed, fool!
This, and the even more disgusting photo of him blathering on about nothing in the rain, with a young Marine forced to hold an umbrella over his CIC....no other president has so blatantly denigrated our military.
I watched the video last night. It’s not just the cup. It’s the whole projected attitude as he does it.
Not to mention heathen.
Typically one man doesn’t help another man unless that second man is elderly or disabled.
Hope he’s going to recycle that paper cup.
At least he didn't have an intern perform oral sex on him the way Bubba did.
But then, it does appear that he's pulling up his zipper or something.
Yeah, ha, ha...funny as hell.
Except that with that one "gaffe", the piece of shit showed very clearly just what he thinks of our uniformed forces.
He is an arrogant, childish, ignorant failed mohametan.
Those young United States Marines that he just disrepected the hell out, not to mention every other uniformed member of our armed forces, are prepared to lay their lives down for him.
Reluctantly, in many cases, but I submit there is not one amongst them that would not do whatever is necessary for the protection of this...man, that defiles and degrades his position on a daily basis.
I have no respect for the man and were I to be in his presence, I would tell him exactly what I think of him, and I would not be nice about it.
The asshole has done a lot to piss me off over the years, but this, this is beyond the pale.
At least he could act like he cares...after all, he has acted like he was the POTUS for 6 years.
A miserable failure.
I had heard afterwards Bush went back and properly saluted.
