Obama Blows Off Marines With Half-Assed Salute While Holding A Latte

Good ol’ Mr. President was far too busy to actually salute the two marines stationed at the bottom of the stairway as he exited Marine One in his stylish sunglasses, early this week.

Instead, holding his latte, he strolled past the two soldiers and gave them a weird, half-assed attempt at a salute.

Politics aside, this could be viewed as TFTC. The commander-in-chief can’t just stop and salute every single marine, but he’ll gladly pretend like he respects you when he walks by.

“Thanks for all your service or whatever.”

    According to standard military protocol, it is not appropriate for the President of the United States to return salutes from uniformed military personnel because, although the President holds the title of Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. armed forces, he is not himself a member of the military, nor does he wear a uniform.

    Call people out on their shit, and Barry deserves to be called A LOT. But if you do it where it isn’t warranted, you loose credibility to do so when it is.

    As a US Naval Aviator (who voted Republican) intimately familiar with what’s going on right now, did it occur to y’all that maybe the President actually was pretty busy. After all, we are bombing some pretty bad dudes in a place where that ain’t easy.

    There’s more important things in the world right now, gentlemen.

      rather no salute then a botched half-ass salute that wastes everyone’s time.
