[what's up]

"Are we surprised?" Republican strategist Karl Rove said on Fox News on Tuesday. "After all we've got a chai-swilling, golf-playing, basketball trash-talking, leading-from-behind 'I got no strategy, Osama bin Laden is dead, GM is alive' community-organizing commander in chief," he said.

The Obama act reeks of disdain and indifference. These are the types of young men he's perfectly willing to send into harm's way while he hides out in his bunker.

As to the Bush photo, big deal. His devotion to our troops was well known and, at the very least, the dog was in his left arm while he saluted with his right. Perhaps he should have let someone else carry the mutt, but Obama's haughtiness rises to a different level.

The WH is spinning it that well Bush was holding his dog while saluting. YA - but in his left hand, not the hand he was saluting with. 0b0z0 was saluting with a cup.

The feeling was likely mutual with the Marines.

Chai from India is a spiced milk tea that has become increasingly popular throughout the world. It is generally made up of:

• rich black tea
• heavy milk
• a combination of various spices
• a sweetener

Obama thought more of the coffee than he did the salute. Watching the fans at Yankee stadium when God Bless America is sung and you would think it was the National Anthem.

"Yes, that's what I said, more bad optics. And Bush's fault. OK, I'll hold for Rove."

[right way right]

Well, he also wipes his ass with the constitution so I don’t see the point in caring.
Obama just throws his daily boner to the media every day, day in and, day out. They suck it up like cheap whores.
I just wish one of those marines would do us all a favor.

Bravo.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

some have pointed to images of then-President George W. Bush saluting service members while holding his dog Barney . . .

Bush! Bush! Bush! Bush!

[cardinal4]

I agree with Rove on this one...

[molson209]

Obama needs the cup ,because everytime he salutes he pokes himself in the eye

“The president greatly appreciates and honors their service to him, but more importantly their service to the country,” he said.

Serve him?

Gawd. Always gotta be about him.

Just remember, Marco Rubio is not fit to run for President because of a water bottle. /sarc
