Wed Sep 24, 2014, 09:45 AMStar Member Cyrano (8,452 posts)Obama criticized for saluting while blackActually, the story in the Huffington Post states that he "disrespected" marines because he didn't give a crisp salute while getting off the helicopter.There is absolutely nothing, nothing that our Prez can do right when it comes to the lunatic fringe in this country.

Response to Cyrano (Original post)Wed Sep 24, 2014, 10:15 AMA Round Tuit (18 posts)12. I'm out of here.I'm gone.Yep, this an opus...from someone that has less that 20 postings, but has been here for quite a while.Every criticism of President Obama is not about race, yet more than half of the participants on this forum attach it to every thing that he does.I voted for him...twice.I believe in him.But he has made mistakes, mistakes that were I to attempt to discuss, would be ridiculed as racism on my part.I think he was wrong to have saluted with a coffee cup in his hand.Period.He is under intense public scrutiny and there are many, many former soldiers, vets, active duty member, etc, that will see that as an inexcusable gaffe, especially knowing that the President has many, many advisers that teach him about the fine points of military custom and how things should be done in any setting.Laugh at me if you will, come back with all your simpering, sardonic obscene comments.I am done.If I cannot express my dissatisfaction with my President with being called a racist, on a PROGRESSIVE forum, then there is no refuge.Goodbye.

You idiot, it wasn't so much the crisp salute. It was the fact that he didn't take the cup out of his hand while saluting.
