Obama disgraces our Nation and Troops by refusing to show them some respect (photo as evidence)

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I apologize up front for this vanity, but this photo is very telling.

In the photo, we see our military rendering honors to the Veterans (both deceased and still with us).

Why is it that this punk stands there with his hands folded? He makes it really obvious that he could really care less about America and our great Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, Sailors, Coast Guardsmen and Merchant Marines.

Why does he fail to salute our Veterans and our great society?

You just can’t teach patriotism or, apparently, proper behavior to those who hold no interest in it. Most people would pick up on what’s going on around them, note that everyone else was saluting or had his hand over his heart, but a narcissist never really takes note of others.

I hear you.

Also am curious about what was going on when this photo was taken.

Was the National Anthem being played?

Perhaps a "Pass and Review" by the Troops?

"Retire" or "Present" the Colors?

All I know is, this worthless slimebag should know better than to stand their with his Mussolini grin while everyone else is saluting.

I have never, ever seen such a flippant attitude at a ceremony for our Veterans in my entire life.

He knew how to follow what he apparently thought was appropriate protocol for a Muslim who meets the Saudi King.

The man who calls himself Obama doesn't have an ounce of compassion in his body. He pledges allegiance to himself, and no one else. This man is a real piece of crap.

When he first began running for POTUS I couldn’t come to terms with his being referred to as an “African American.” He has virtually NOTHING in common with that group. I still can’t come to terms with it, and now can’t think of him as “American.” His upbringing and life experience, from his formative years, the experiences and associates he chose in college and law school, and on into Chicago, put him far out of the mainstream of the “American” profile.

What DOES he have in common with the average American? I can think of dozens of ways that every POTUS in my lifetime has fit the classical “American” image and fit in with the ‘common man,’ but can’t think of anything that shouts “American” when I see this guy.

Dictators and egomaniacs don’t salute. He looks like he’s smiling because everyone is saluting him.

He wants to be king of America. I fear what will happen come 2012!

Typically though they copy others. Like an "Oh I am supposed to show sorrow here" type of thing. The fact that he doesn't even attempt that makes me think he's doing it out of spite to patriotic Americans who hold these sort of rituals as sacred. (he and his base hold them in contempt)

Ping.

We need to borrow his "yes, we can" and stick it up his ass.

I think he is just distracted by the beauty, slim lines and seductive power of his teleprompters.

Watching Zero’s facial expression during the wreath laying ceremony today, I got the distinct impression that he was trying hard not to laugh or smile. I could sense that inside he was giggling like a schoolgirl and barely able to control himself.

He’s a disgrace to this country and I long for the day that we can prove that he is NOT of this country or legitimately in office.

Send these pictures to Glenn Beck, FOX, Drudge, Rush and anyone else you can think of that will bring it to the attention of the AMERICAN people.

I didn't see it but I wouldn't doubt it. He i s an empty vessel, I doubt he felt anything but the cameras on him.

Not to change the subject, but I did notice that at Arlington Cemetery for the Veteran’s Day ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers she wore a extremely loud and bright aqua number when everyone else was dressed in subdued colors.

It is always hard to tell if it is just their complete lack of class, ignorance of all that is American or it is intentional.

I think it’s intentional. Nobody could be that crass and fashion-challenged by accident.

They are both a couple of ghouls and ghouls only know how to be ghoulish, not fashionable or classy.

I didn’t even see her. Was she wearing the green shoes she’s so fond of?

This is an unfair criticism of Obama, because it only shows one angle. I’ve seen a photo of this from a different angle and you can clearly see that the teleprompter never told him he was supposed to salute.

As far as Obama is concerned, I construe POTUS to stand for Piece Of Total Unadulterated S**t.
