He must have been horribly insecure as a leader in 2011:
...or perhaps he doesn't respect customs and social graces not because of ideological courage or psychological fortitude, but because he is an a****le?
I have personal experience with doing the equivelant of shoving that cup of coffee up obama's ass.
It hurt ... for my entire life ... but it felt damned good and correct then .... and still ... now.
Has zer0’ really taken much flack over this? I don’t think so.
Every chance he gets he gives us all “The Finger”
“For military people, the honor of directly serving the president outweighs all other things.”
The oath is to the Protection of the US Constitution - not loyalty to a president...and the military does not serve the president!
I’m actually a bit surprised he bothered to make that much of an effort.
You know he hates them.
I figure it is just a matter of time before he gives them a ‘single finger salute’ (the center one) in that semi-stealthy 6th grader way of his.
As I mentioned above, you need to look at his body language. Its not just the limp, cup-in-hand salute he offers; its the way he rushes past the Marines, refusing to make any eye contact.
My jaw dropped when I saw it.
If we have to send Marines and Soldiers in to do this job, Obama can just explain to the American people that the ones we send in were supposed to be aborted before childbirth anyways so it’s okay....
Reagan started the salute “tradition” and I seriously think the current executive of the executive branch should have been honest from the start and never saluted.
For me, I would hug.
I went to Lejeune for my son’s homecoming. The first Marine I saw was a Military Policeman in the parking lot at the gate. I told him why I was there and gave him a big hug. He stood as stiff as a board, no smile, no reply to my request, but at least he knows he’s loved.
I have stated before that how you can tell if the insult was intentional or not. First of all, left handed people instinctively favor the to use their left hand when holding something like a cup.
Since he knew the military always salutes with the right arm, he used his right claw with the empty cup in it to carry out his despicable insult to the Marines.
Of possible interest to the ping listS!!!!
People like zerobama, who believe in and fight for abortion at any time/for any reason, are badly damaged and shouldn't be trusted with the care of a nation and the command of its forces.
We've chosen poorly and that always means some additional remedial instruction in the School of Hard Knocks' Unintended Consequences program.
I didn’t know you were racist.
ROFL! Eisenhower's mere presence as CiC deterred wars - while Obama's incompetent weakness attracts enemies like flies to a dungheap.
Calling yourself a "wartime President" when the wars would never have started without your own fecklessness is the height of arrogance.
Active Duty ping.
Dubya lowered his head to reach his hand.
The Liberal comparison is pathetic but to be expected.
