B. Hussein Obama refuses to salute marine, gives handshake instead!

After B. Hussein Obama’s fear mongering speaking to the House Democratic Issues Conference Thursday, Feb. 5, 2009 in Williamsburg, VA, earlier in the evening, as he left the White House to begin his trip, the president broke with tradition, according to a pool reporter. As he boarded Marine One, the helicopter that would take him to Andrews Air Force Base, the president seemed to stun the Marine who was standing at attention by reaching out to shake his hand. The Marine shook the president’s hand, then returned to his steady salute. Aboard the plane, the president wore a new blue jacket stitched with the words Air Force One in cursive and the presidential seal on his right side and “Barack Obama” on the left side. “I’ve got my spiffy jacket so I thought I’d come and show it off,” he joked with reporters. “What do you think about this spiffy ride? It’s not bad.”

    Just wanted to point out that President Obama did return the salute from the Marine and then stopped to shake his hand and say a word of thanks before boarding the helicopter. Viewing the actual footage before writing the commentary would be very helpful to you.

    I think we’re getting a little picky and looking for things to support our suspicion that President Obama does not support the military. I’m guessing he was giving an overture of appreciation and nothing more. I don’t care for the guy or his politics but let’s be fair to him, he is our President.
