I don't seem to recall the same outrage.

Oh look, it's the old "Bush kinda did it too" defense.
Not quite as good as the Chewbacca defense.

Dog in left hand, saluting with right hand.
I'm not seeing the problem.

U.S. Marine 'Customs and Courtesies' 'In some situations, the salute is not appropriate. In general, do not salute when ... carrying articles with both hands or being otherwise so occupied as to make saluting impractical.'

FFS, George. You were actually an officer. Give the greeting of the day when you're carrying your dog. Still, I don't give a shite about how well either of them salute.

Really have to admire how quickly the White House got this picture out on Instagram so all of its followers in the public and the media could come out in rapid response.
It may take them months or years to figure out ISIL, but it's only a matter of minutes and they've got the picture of W making the rounds.

A salute is not required when carrying something in both hands, so Bush's salute is not required and simply an extra gesture. Obama could have easily held the cup with his left hand and returned the salute with his right.
