The Starbucks salute

No class, but typical.

What a classless big eared motherfricker.

Faux Outrage

No class, no brains, nada! sadly, don't expect anything else.

If you can't execute the courtesy properly, you shouldn't attempt to execute it at all.

Those Marines knew to drop their salute when Obama was past them. He shouldn't have tried to return the salute at all.

Who fricking cares? Ever one knows he hates the military.

Obama later released a statement on the matter after so many negative comments..

There is almost nothing I agree with Obama on. I disagree with everything that he stands for and does.

Saying that, this is ridiculously blown out of proportion.

I honestly LOL'd at the half-assed salute. I guess they go through this multiple times every day so it becomes less meaningful. Reagan didn't even bother doing the salute at times, but yeah - Obama has to know people are going to rip him for shite like this, even if he's just acknowledging their existence. He's better off not doing a salute at all.


Obama is a civillian, btw.

That is disgusting....amd here I thought Barrack Obama was a genuine hero...I can't believe that the commander in chief of the military is out of uniform...why isn't he dressed up in his Idi Amin general outfit...it is very disrespectful to the marines for their commander in chief to be out of uniform....


Until Reagan started the practice (because it played well with "patriots") it was not done at all....Presidents didn't salute soldiers. I have been told by military people that anyone who is not in the military (exclduing retirees) should not be saluting anyone....that it denigrates the practice.

I would bet that if any of us had a camera up our arse 24 - 7 we would see all sorts of shite that looked bad. Of course when you become a politician that is part of the deal....
