The President walked alone across the South Lawn grass, gave a quick wave to the press and boarded Marine One. But, first he stopped to shake the hand of the very startled, caught off-guard Marine who was standing at attention at the steps to the helicopter.

He doesn't have to salute, but he shouldn't break the Marine’s salute like that. It is a breech of protocol.

Wouldn’t a salute have been more appropriate?

yeah a Sieg Heil salute. That's what I do when I see him on my TV screen.

He said that every economist will agree if you have a trillion dollars lost, the range is $800 billion for the recovery plan.

Anyone think Walter Williams would agree with that?

Mr. Williams should have a prominent roll to show this enemy of the US how to have an economic recovery, but noooo.

Of course the Marine was startled. He’s required by duty to stand at attention until the Commander in Chief is boarded. Obama broke protocol, like the idiot he is.

Worth repeating . . . often . . . so this doesn't become the Marine's mistake.

I remember seeing him give a crisp salute and Fox even commented how much better it was than Clinton’s limp salutes.

It might have been at the inauguration.

I would say so, yes.

He did.

Check out this lame-ass "salute" from when Obammie was in Hawaii.

That doesn’t look like a salute. It looks like he is shading his eyes.

It woulda been a classic.

The White House coon remarks were getting a little too much, I suppose.

"When does he actually act like a President?!"

He is acting like what he is: a community organizer. Don't expect him to rise above his station.

One can only hope Dolly makes herself known the same way she did when Mrs Woodrow Wilson ordered it dug up.

Dolly does not take kindly to anyone messing with her garden.
