ObaMao thinks his styrofoam cup is more important than our military

But don't let me stand in the way of the Cal crusade for political purity.

Having been in the military I do find it to be disrespectful. Shift your fucking cup Mr. President. I don't expect civilians to understand.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
Why the fuck is this thread 4 pages? Why is anyone pretending like this is a big deal?

Obama like all presidents has proved no matter how lofty his expectations, he is nothing more than a corporate puppet with no backbone.
Bush, Obama, Hillary, Bush Sr., Clinton, you name it.
All the same.
Higher Taxes, More government spending, more war, more corporatism, war on drugs, police brutality, NSA, NDAA, Patriot Act, and your civil liberties getting flushed down the toilet while these statesman jam a big red, white, and blue dick up your ass.

Technically, the queen is head of both the army and the church.

That is true whether or not it's a good idea do you have civilian command over the military, but that's for another discussion.
He has never really been in the military so naturally would not understand the attitudes serviceman might feel toward the salute.

If Reagan was the first President to salute the troops, Where is the OUTRAGE against the first 39 Presidents?
How could Millard Fillmore have been so disrepctful??????????????

Eisenhower must have never respected the troops.

Since the President is a civilian he is under no obligation to salute. Eisenhower was a retired General and didn't. I think it is stupid for someone who was never even in the military to salute.

Eh.... I'll defer to Diehard on this one - he's a civilian, but has the rank of command-in-chief. I've saluted some old
WWII vets I've met, out of huge respect. I love the stories. I would have understood more, if obamao, who trends a lack
of respect for the military anyways, along with our Constitution and entire country,.... didn't issue up a half-assed salute
in the first place.

A couple of points on saluting:
As someone who saluted many a superior officer in the 80's, I can tell you that a salute with
a coffee cup in your hand or contorting yourself with a dog in your arms would have probably
earned a "What the fuck is that supposed to be" from a superior officer.
I believe Reagan started the habit/custom of presidential saluting. Ike and JFK gave polite nods
of acknowledgement. Truman (my favorite response) would place his right hand over his heart
when saluted.
When I see the photos of Obama with the cup and W with the dog, I see two men who are very
likely preoccupied with other thoughts, with the weight and incredible pressure of their office on their
shoulders. Two men whose sorry salutes were most likely a reflexive action. While I don't care for
either man, I'm willing to give each a pass. There are much more important events going on in the
world to worry about.
One last thought...I've saluted generals and full bird colonels whose response would classify more as a
dismissive wave than anything resembling a salute. Not an issue, moved on with my life, had bigger
fish to fry.

Probably. Obamao's cup of chive tea was probably frightened and trembling,
and he was keeping it calm.....
