Actually, "common sense" dictates the President - as a civilian - should not salute at all. Until Reagan came along.
No, common sense does not dictate that - as a sign of respect, there's a legitimate reason why it is acceptable albeit not mandatory. But the protocol should be either do it or don't, but don't do some half arse or improper gesture if you are going to bother in the first place.

Unless you've got a dog in your hand, right?
Tell us - when you join the military, do you just start saluting how common sense dictates - or is it part of your basic training to learn how to make a proper salute?

These guys for sure. And:

had scant little, despite his reputation as a shrewd political operator. As time continues to pass, I'm beginning to think he was a political savant, with little else to offer except political machinations and race baiting.

Every defense of Obama includes a Bush retort. It's stale and despicable that this POTUS is beyond reproach. If anyone dares to bring up an item where he falls short, he or she is automatically a racist and or is met with the George Bush defense.

Not every. Only when the attack of Obama is an attack for something that Bush also did by folks who supported Bush. Which is quite common, as the facts illustrate.
