What a richardhead. After 5-1/2 years he still doesn’t get it, or else he just likes messing with people’s heads by doing nitwit stuff like this.

He is not suppose to anyway, but at this point who cares?

We all know he is a disrespectful narcissist who hates this country. Let’s remain focused on his criminal and unconstitutional acts and not protocol breeches.

Maybe he's just trying to distract people from discussing the IRS, Benghazi, AP/Rosengate, etc.

Is that right? I am pretty sure I recall all previous Presidents returning a salute. But, the Marine did not salute. Had he been instructed not to?

Civilians do not salute. Saluting is only for uniformed members of the military. He would demean saluting by doing it.

Presidents salute. It’s a practice that predates the Obama Administration.

Obama is a civilian. He is not supposed to salute. It’s been a “nice” gesture in the past and makes a nice photo-op for the President, whether, Clintoon, Bush, or whomever.

For Obama to return the salute of Marines is an insult to the Marines and a hypocritical act by Obama.

Semper Fi!

This is “make news” by the enemedia. Not falling for it, there are actually important fish to fry.

Same with the bunk story of the whiz kid that solved all energy needs with a super-capacitor.

Both of these non-stories promoted by ABSee.

No, they do not. Look it up. The president may or may not return the salute. If they return the salute, I hope someone has taught them to do it properly.

Regardless - here’s a vid of a President loving his troops

Even IF he forgot to salute,,it’s because he is preoccupied. That means, the news is getting to him,,we’re getting to him....GOOD!

I've always wondered why the President would salute a serviceman. They are reporting to HIM, not the other way around. It's a show of weakness for a Pres to salute anyone. It puts them on equal footing and the Pres is SUPPOSED to be his Commander.

He shouldn't 'salute' and it's REALLY disgusting when he.. BOWS to foreign dignitaries!
