Just knowing he is always videoed when leaving Marine One, why didn’t Obama just hand his cup to a flunkey inside the aircraft & say “Hold this”?
It is but a fine line that separates arrogance from stupidity.
As far as I’m concerned, that ‘flunkey’ would still rank him.
Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge. Baraq only gargled.
This is not an oversight. I believe it was an intentional action. Someone that loathes the military is painfully aware of the protocol of saluting the military and probably dreads it each and every time.
IMO this is a two-fer for Obama
1. This sends a message to his leftist base that while he is indeed dropping bombs today he still doesn’t give a shite for the military.
2. Thumb in the eye of conservative military types who REALLY notice these things
He did it intentionally. He puts his feet up on the Resolute desk for the same reason.
