Yet another for the WTF file.   Barry travels to NYC to go the UN.  As he gets off Marine 1 he is carrying a coffee cup.   He almost forgets to salute the Marines and does a very lame last second "salute" with the cup in his hand. 

To make matters worse,  its the White House itself that posts the video clip of him doing it!   This regime is the most tone deaf of any in my lifetime.

Infuriating. Even if he doesn't have a clue or doesn't give a sh*t about the protocol between the CiC and the military, he should have advisors that make sure he goes through the motions. The fact that he has no such person in his inner circle tells us what we need to know about the ideology of this regime.

This is another similar show of disdain from last year...

Obama forgets to salute
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I think the denizens of the white house post this stuff just to poke a finger in the eye of true Americans, as much as to say, "we couldn't care less about American culture and values and we will abuse it in front of you and there is nothing you will do about it".

In some way it makes true Americans appear much like the coward obama appears to be to the world, not man enough to stop the abuse. We know we are being impugned by him and yet we are too (fill in your own excuse here) to do anything about it.

  • Hippies smell bad. Go away, hippie.
I think we are meant to feel grateful that he doesn't flip them the bird.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

What it boils down to is he has no respect for, or any sentimental attachment to, this country's heritage and its institutions.  Most of the immigration since 1965 is likewise of people who have no sentimental attachment to this country, but rather of people who came for material improvement but are otherwise simply establishing little colonies of the home countries that they do have sentimental attachment to.

Love for one's country is a crucial ingredient in it remaining a country.  As more and more of the population are AINO / TWANLOC, the more it will continue to crumble.
