While we're on the subject of disrespetful salutes...

Nothing in his right hand, so FAIL.

He should have chosen to not salute. If he'd saluted with the dog in his right hand, it would have been improper.

Back to the drawing board for you, gabby. ;)

Nice scramble, gunny. But you are still sacked.

Of the two "salutes" Obama's was much worse.


I mean all the man had to do was put his stinking cup in his left hand...

That being said, who cares either way?

The only two people who have a legitimate gripe are the two Marines Obama saluted.

Well I guess GW should of just put his dog on a separate flight, we the tax payer could of paid for like Obama does and then his hands would of been empty :rolleyes:

Gabs a Marine is explaining it to ya and further more when are you going to get over the well so and so did it so he can to :rolleyes: My Mom taught me years ago 2 wrongs don't make it right, and further more isn't this the presidency of CHANGE , I know you like the rest of us haven't seen the change either :laugh:


EPIC FAIL



Bo, the president's Portuguese Water Dog, arrived separately on one of two MV-22 Ospreys, a hybrid aircraft which takes off like a helicopter but flies like a plane.

I've read that picture of Bush is photoshopped

Bush was in the military. you expect us to believe this?

Ah yes, the old "But Bush - But Bush" defense

Ah yes, the old "But Bush - But Bush" defense

Oh, so you already know Gabby? Anything negative about the current administration is met with the "I'll bring up Bush because I'm incapable of a rational argument". Gabby has 2 degrees and is the smartest person in all of California! We know this because she went to a better college than ALL of us put together. She does know best! :)

Good comparison...



As you can see from the responses collected by Twitchy (http://twitchy.com/2014/09/23/vastly-more-respectful-sally-kohns-giant-ahem-on-latte-salute-fails-to-impress/), that dodge didn't last ten minutes, and ended up revealing a lot more about liberals' lack of appreciation for military culture than it did to excuse Obama's conduct. For starters, you don't have to know anything about military protocol to see that holding a live animal is rather different than strolling past the Marines with a styrofoam cup of coffee in your hands.
Also, President Bush is rendering the salute correctly, a detail Kohn apparently couldn't be bothered to research. He's using his right hand while managing his burden with the left. It looks a bit goofy because he's wrestling with a dog and he's got the dog leash wrapped around his arm, but he's clearly making a real effort to show proper respect.
Barack Obama, on the other hand, made no such effort... and this on the very day he's sent American troops into harm's way, in a None Dare Call It War action he says will last for years. I suspect the people who raced to defend Obama saw only a still photo or two of the incident, rather than watching the video you posted, which makes his lax attitude far more obvious.
Yesterday I would have called this annoying but unsurprising, and hardly out of character. It looks like a lot of people are more upset about it than I anticipated, probably based on the timing, and perhaps as a consequence of his generally plummeting popularity. Halfway through his second term as President, he shouldn't need to be taught how to handle a moment like this.

What we see with the GWB photo is a man struggling with a pup - and that instant maybe lasted 1/2 a second before 'proper' form was resumed. (shrug)
