Fucking Obama
 

Failed to salute a US Marine....

He never should have gone back for the handshake; that was just dumb.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Mistake?

I don't see what the big deal is. He obviously has a lot of stuff on his mind and was thinking about things way more important than a dumbass salute.

The President has ALWAYS been saluted by marines. But NEVER returned a salute until Ronald Reagan started doing it in 1981.
Then Bush 1, Clinton, and Bush 2 all did it to be "cool" like Reagan.

Now every goddamn President until the end of time has to do it?

Our society is just ridiculous.

Just read that even Pres. Eisenhower who was the General in charge of the troops during World War 2 NEVER saluted military personnel as President.

It was thought to be improper.

If a President who was one of the greatest military leaders of all time didn't salute the marines on guard (or any other military personnel EXCEPT when awarding a military honor medal), then why on Earth should Pres. Obama (or any other President) do it?

It's dumb shit like this that really shows how easily distracted the American people are and how easy our society is manipulated by the govt. and the media.

Well said Robbie:thumbsup

Hell, military themselves never salute enlisted men or officers below their rank.

A General doesn't salute a private. lol

Why on Earth would the Commander In Chief be saluting ANYBODY.
It's not respectful. It's actually just the opposite when going by military tradition. :(

Its kinda liked being fucked without the kiss i guess?
Marine ,,,,,no worries on his place at the table....
Swap him with a nobody from the state of trying to comply, totally different outcome.

Like it or not,....we are being screwed!
As a middle class earner with one hell of an open eye!
Congrats to the winners :thumbsup

Oh and fuck this vid,,,,,I'm feeling the hurt well beyond the fact that this prick has no care, and never will respect outcomes for the ones trying to build a better life for theirs and mine. Fact! Living it everyday.
I well know he is the puppet,....I also understand the role of Government,..still does mot make the pill easy to swallow, when I know it is his administration that forces my hand.

$60,000.00 a year, My take, 4 employees,...with family $800,000 a year company ready to throw in the bag.
Fucked state for sure.

i'll hear what Vendzilla has to say about this first...

(actually i found the chewing gum much more disrespectful)

Not to mention you never salute someone without a cover on.

I do agree that it wasnt that big of a deal. mistakes happen. But i do not agree with Robby calling it a "dumbass salute"

The reason I'm calling it a "dumbass salute" is because the President is ranked higher than that marine. So he isn't supposed to salute back.
You don't salute an enlisted man OR an officer who is lower in rank than you.

The only time an officer in the military or any President before Reagan EVER saluted a military person was when presenting them with the Medal Of Honor.

That's my point. This is just dumbass shit that was made up by Pres. Reagan, is incorrect, and now perpetuated by the media.

I didn't salute much in the Navy, but remember I was on a Submarine, so I didn't wear a hat very often.

Robbie, Officers are suppose to salute lower rank and enlisted personal after they get saluted.

The president is not in the military, so I see no reason he has to salute military personal, but as leader and cheif I also believe it shows respect for the military, which every president should have!! Reagan did the right thing and Obama did the right thing here.

So does that mean that every President from General George Washington through General Dwight D. Eisenhower all the way up until Reagan did it "wrong" as President???

Sorry, Rachel Maddow is FULL OF SHIT

That's a picture of President Franklin Roosevelt saluting the troops


About the tradition, Ronald Reagan said, "I never ceased to enjoy reviewing our men and women in uniform and hope I started a new tradition for presidents. As Commander In Chief, I discovered it was customary for our uniformed men and women to salute whenever they saw me. When I'd walk down the steps of a helicopter, for example, there was always a Marine waiting there to salute me."

"I was told presidents weren't supposed to return salutes, so I didn't, but this made me feel a little uncomfortable. Normally, a person offering a salute waits until it is returned, then brings down his hand. Sometimes, I realized, the soldier, sailor, Marine, or airman giving me a salute wasn't sure when he was supposed to lower his hand. Initially, I nodded and smiled and said hello and thought maybe that would bring down the hand, but usually it didn't. Finally, one night when Nancy and I were attending a concert at the Marine Corps Headquarters, I told the Commandant of Marines, "I know it's customary for the President to receive these salutes, but I was once an officer and realize that you're not supposed to salute when you're in civilian clothes. I think there ought to be a regulation that the president could return a salute inasmuch as he is commander in chief and civilian clothes are his uniform." "Well, if you did return a salute," the general said, "I don't think anyone would say anything to you about it."

"The next time I got a salute, I saluted back. A big grin came over the Marine's face and down came his hand. From then on, I always returned salutes. When George Bush followed me into the White House, I encouraged him to keep up the tradition."

Obama sucks. Fuckin retarded

I agree with robbie... :thumbsup

What this means is he has no fucking idea what the protocol actually is.

Salute/not salute, the President of The United States should have an idea what the protocol actually is and stick with that. To sometimes follow a protocol one way or the other, means you really don't give a shit or are to stupid to remember. Either way someone that should be advising him needs fired.


.

He saluted the aircraft, which was different.

Ok then GO FUCK YOURSELF OBAMA!

In our army higher ranking soldiers salute back; lower ranking salutes first and higher ranking salutes back. Unless the higher ranking sits in office chair or something like that (when you come into his office).

In battle conditions or in battle exercise there is no saluting or anything similar that would expose leaders.

I don't know about US.

The marine looked like he was happy when he went back.

I think it was sympathetic. He showed that he cares, and saluting at this point would have been silly, instead he shook his hand.

The Salute is a sign of respect and recognition of the position the other person holds.

No wonder the most top ranking dont salute the grunts. The term "Cannon Fodder" came around for a reason. Its the lowest ranking and the ones that die first that deserve the salute from those that dont get their asses shot off.

Just my thoughts.

this have zero importance to anyone

Not saluting while black president... yep, this is serious. :)

I think he should be impeached for that .....

The issue is that he didn't salute US MARINE!! Ugh!

A mistake? Where? As far as I can see, everybody puts a hand or two on the heart.

P.S. In my country militaries can not salute if they have no biretta: "к пустой голове руку не прикладывают" :2 cents:

Right:

so darth vader did not salute an imperial trooper and the star wars fans get sand in their vaginas over it :1orglaugh

like that US marine actually protected the actual USA from the evil canadian invaders or the mexican invaders? :1orglaugh oh right, there is no such thing....maybe from some invading latin american army? nope...african navy/army/airforce? nope...or maybe some other part of the world?...last army to attack the USA was the germans? :1orglaugh

the threat to the USA is exactly the same as the threat of darth vader: in your heads :1orglaugh

(we all know what the US army is really for :2 cents:)

so let me be the first to point out the comic value in the "break of imperial protocol" causing a disturbance in the political cosplay community :1orglaugh

Man, if he had done that it would have fixed everything! We should spend much more time and energy on this!

you just now figured out Obama is a piece of shit who hates white people, the military and America?

But wait. Benghazi solyndra obammacare? Tyranny aliens homosexual agenda libya for fuck sakes. Birthcertificate fastandfurious prayer banglist taxes government abuse, ok? Peace!

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Gas at $2 per gallon - Fuck Obama!
DOW at 17000 vs 8000 with Bush - Fuck Obama!
Your house worth double vs under Bush - Fuck Obama!
Bin Laden dead - Fuck Obama!

So instead of a salute he got an even more personal greeting and thanks from Obama...that's how I see it at least. On top of it he saluted the 2 pilots...I guess we are running out of things to complain about today hahah

it's 2015. Welcome!

BOO!!! You crybaby Republican pussies!!!

:thumbsup

Who told you that?

Even his "o" face is disrespectful.

When a Private salutes a General, the General returns the salute. In this case, the Marine saluted the President and in practice the President should return the salute.
