There has absolutely GOT to be a political motivation to this media-ginned storm hysteria, even as Irene is collapsing. Help me out here.

a. To take the attention off Obama’s agonistes.
b. To give Obama a Horatius-at-the-bridge leadership moment.
c. To try and blow a little hot air into the deflated global warming hemorrhoid.
d. It’s just the Silly Season and we need some dramatic headlines.

Any other possibilities?

I wondered the same thing, lol. Earlier today I read that he would return tonight and Michelle and the girls would go back to D.C. tomorrow morning. Maybe their handlers told them we aren’t in the mood to pay for multiple flights again.

Can you tell what that black thing is that appears to be poking out of his pants in the second picture?

He really doesn’t look well in that picture.

Like Medved said: “The problem isn’t that Obama goes on vacation - - the problem is that he comes back from vacation.”

Yep it will be Historic once he thinks up his big lying excuse of how it destroyed his economic recovery plans.

Since when did presidents return salutes, anyway?

Is the Commander in Chief actually authorized to salute? Did anyone bother to write it down anywhere?

If there’s anything I remember it’s that you don’t salute if you’re not in uniform.

That is definately no salute. It’s a cross between thumbing his nose and waving at the Airmen. We’ll never see a real salute. His little pea-brain is big enough to learn how, it’s his way of showing his hatred and disrespect of the military by not ever offering a genuine salute.
