Salute

I think this was very disrespectful to the Marine Corps and to our country,
What are your thoughts?

A penny for their thoughts

Yes disrespectful... when has he not been?

To me, it's an awful lot like the kid that shows up to his first day of work wearing his pants low to show off his drawers... it shows that the kid just doesn't "get it"-- and neither does this guy.

The "Salute" is all about Respect......Respect given by Troops to a Commander and when that "Salute" is not returned in a Respectful manner it is indeed an insult......

I am NOT one to stand up for this POS named Obama but I hardly know what else to expect from him. This Idiot is clueless and I guess you just can't expect too much from him.

It should be a law that any Candidate running for the office of President, serve at least one tour in the Military branch of their choice.

Exactly the words spoken at work today!

Absolutely bewildered at what Americans do at election time. Got no more to say at this point......

I think they should be no less than a General, how could they possibly know all of the strategies of the military unless they have participated in it?

I wouldn't go so far as to say they must be ex-military, but it would be good to have them at least fluent on the Constitution......

I would have put my size 12 shoe where the sun doesn't shine. This POS has no conception of what Honor and Respect means.

I liked this:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took at jab at President Barack Obama’s coffee cup salute from earlier this week.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) speaks at the 2014 Values Voter Summit September 26, 2014 in Washington, DC. The Family Research Council (FRC) hosting its 9th annual Values Voter Summit inviting conservatives to participate in a straw poll. Mark Wilson/Getty Images

“Our honored military — when we talk about these national security issues, our honored military, on behalf of all Americans who do support you — and we honor you, we respect you,” the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate said Friday speaking at the Values Voters Summit in Washington.

“On behalf of all Americans to your commander-in-chief, we then will salute him,” Palin said, raising a styrofoam cup, to laughter from the audience.

There have been many things yearly since in office that he has done or action of not doing that has upset the Active Service Members and former Military members. He has not learned that alot of his duties embrace custom's and courtesies that are held to high standards with all branches of the Military. The Regular Joe on the outside doesn't see it or notice it. I know I do.

I miss being on Active Duty as a Marine. I'm Glad I do not wear that Uniform under this Imposter.

1-It wasn't me who help elect and/or re-elect him.

2-If it was you that helped to elect and/or re-elect him pat yourself on the back.

3-If your going to be elected president, you should at least have a valid/legal.US birth certificate.
