President Obama Gesture to Marines Dubbed ‘Latte Salute’
Some are calling it the “latte salute.â€
When President Obama stepped off Marine One at the Wall Street landing zone in New York City, en route the United Nations, he saluted two Marines at the bottom of the stairs as he held a coffee cup in the same hand.
The unusual gesture appeared in an Instagram video posted by the White House on social media. Obama is also wearing sunglasses as he arrived, with the first lady not far behind.

3. People care about this? He's the CiC, he can salute
or not salute how wet he wants. And he can attack any country he wants, too.
New thread; not many primitives have seen it yet.

Huh??? Haven't heard or read a thing about this.
Sounds like DUmmies are inventing a new supposed right-wing scandal to further defend Obama.

It just shows how much Barry really doesn't give a ****.

That is incredibly disrespectful,would be better to just nod or ignore them outright as he really would prefer.
-
He's lucky the Marines didn't salute him the way he deserved. :bigbird:

Of all the people I'd love to see spill a hot coffee on themselves.

Last year he used Marines in dress blues to hold umbrellas for him and some muzzie.
Like Clinton and all current democrats he holds the military in contempt.
Sending them on a useless but deadly mission into the Ebola wards of Africa is an example.

Reagan, Bush, and Bush knew how to show respect for the men and women who served them ... probably because they did respect them. And unlike WJC and BHO, Reagan, Bush, and Bush served.

The Clintons' behavior regarding the Secret Service is well known. It's no surprise to see the Obamas' share those feelings.

It could be ignorance or apathy.
Or both.

Heh......... :whatever:

Just another example of the way PrezBO really feels about the military. :banghead:

His failure to transfer the cup to his left hand prior to saluting the Marines shows one of 2 things about obama:
1. he has no respect for the Troops or
2. he is totally ignorant of Military Protocol.
Either one is shameful behavior for the CINC.

This DUmmy shows the contempt he and his ilk have for the Military and how they feel that obama has limitless powers to act in any manner he wants to.

Watch his head,he is only interested in seeing how big or who is in the onlookers.
Both are correct but I lean more towards 1.
He considers them peons,never once does he look at them.

I've never cared for this custom, even when President Reagan started it.
It looks awkward and improper for someone in civilian clothes, even the commander-in-chief, to salute a Marine in dress blues, and it's rarely a proper salute anyway.
It's even more out-of-place when contempt for the military is a core value of the modern democrat party.
The President can recognize his Marine detail without a half-assed civilian salute.

I would disagree. As boots, we all had to learn the proper way to salute and learn it fast.
One of the jobs of being President is CINC. Saluting his subordinates is one of the responsibilities that should go along with the job.
The left keeps telling us how smart obama is. For a man who is so smart, why can't learn a gesture that is so simple to learn? He is so on about how we can't offend muslims by doing this or offend another class of people by doing that, yet he continually offends menbers of the Military by his apparent lack of respect for them or their traditions.
-
It's an enlisted mans duty to salute an officer and it's the duty of that officer to return that salute.....Chesty Puller.

I understand the comparison. If in Obomo's hands, the dog would be a snack food.

Keep making excuses for the worthless dipshit and he will keep living up to your low expectations.

It isn't required for the President to return the salute, but if they are going to do it, then they should do it properly. Reagan did it out of a genuine respect for the military as did both President Bush's.

It wasn't done for the first two hundred years of the republic, until President Reagan began doing it in 1981.
I think President Reagan did it out of respect, but also to emphasize that there was a very new and different sheriff in town
A salute by someone like Clinton or the jug-eared muslim, men who have no respect for the military, is so hypocritical it's sort of insulting.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest is not sure if President Barack Obama is aware of the stir caused yesterday when he saluted Marines at the base of Marine One while concurrently holding his coffee cup.
“I don’t know. I haven’t talked to him about it,†Earnest told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell when asked if the president was aware of the controversy at hand.

yeah. Act like it didn't happen and it will go away....

It seems like the press secretary never talks to Obama about anything. They should ask Lying Earnest what games Obama watched. I bet he would know that.

I would add too that neither Clinton or Obama served in the military...hence the reason they don't understand the protocol and the reason taht CLinton had to be taught to salute after he became President.
Reagan and both Bush's were comissioned officers...they understood the importance of returning the salute and more importantly knew how to salute.

What gets me more than his half assed salute is the fact that he continues to mispronounce 'Corpsman'. Not only does it show him as ignorant on the English language, but these are the very people that provide his medical care whenever he sprains an eyelash. :argh:
Then again maybe I am a little sensitive that he continues to insult one of the most decorated group of people in the military of which I am a proud member.

Some day Obama will become a corpse mon.
Think Gee-MA-con mon.

At least he's always careful in how he pronounces "PAWK-e-STAWN".

I stopped listening to him. Does he really continue to pronounce it corpse-man? You'd think someone would have told him.

Karin, he thinks he's the smartest individual in the room, remember? His sheer arrogance would prevent him from changing.
