| A salute with a cup drew ire from the foes! |
God damn it, will you idiots stop whining about what the president does?
The racist right is all upset over the president saluting a Marine with a coffee in his hand. Loserville and all the usual suspects went to town on the "latte salute".
As President Obama exits Marine One, he salutes two Marines with a coffee cup in the hand.
Cue the outrage from the racist right!

"@dahbigj: Hey Barry, you can't blame Bush for your lack of respect to those who serve and protect you.

Why didn't he just toss his Starbucks cup on the ground like the #ClimateMarch activists?

So the #lattesalute was bizarre. Why’d the @WhiteHouse even post that video? Coffee cup was the first thing I noticed on that Instagram.

Sometimes you got to wonder how far will these people go before they cause themselves heart attacks.
From day one, the racist right aided by the insurgency and Loserville managed to make Republicans look childish and even more stupider than usual.

I don't understand how Republican have an edge in the Midterms when they spent a majority of the six years of Obama's presidency bitching and whining.
Did you know that the Republicans are fundraising off the "outrage"?
All usual, all the comments all come from racists! The racist right is all upset over the president saluting a Marine with a coffee in his hand. Loserville and all the usual suspects went to town on the "latte salute".

But it's not without precedent. President George W. Bush saluted the troops with his terrier in hand, and right-wing pundits somehow failed to go berserk.
Why? Because Bush was their guy, of course (nowadays, he'd probably be castigated by those folks as a mealy-mouthed RINO -- Republican in Name Only -- who was soft on terror).
And presidents saluting the troops isn't a custom dating back to the Revolutionary War. It was actually started in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan.
If Republicans want to gleefully circulate photos of #LatteSaluteGate -- you know it's important because there's a hashtag -- I get it. It's good political theater. But it's probably hard for most of them to keep a straight face and insist that they're deeply offended.
Just like they're not really outraged that Obama plays golf and takes vacations (inconveniently, he's taken less vacation time than Bush).
Just like most Republicans probably aren't revolted by first lady Michelle Obama's fancy clothes (Nancy Reagan was known to like nice things).
One former marine I know is more upset with the previous president that sent him and his buddies into harms way based upon a lie, his outrage is at the president that lied about why we went into Iraq where he lost some of those buddies and isn't too happy about it.
Total disrespect shown to a black President. Bush waved a dog and wasn't called on it, but Obama is tan, Cons hate that.
