This will spill over exactly nowhere. It is fun stuff for the diehard Obama haters. No one else will give a rat's ass about it by Friday.

Every time the Wingosphere finds a new thing that Obama has done to be outraged about, within 5 minutes the Internet has produced a photo of either W or Ronnie doing the same thing, only with the ass of a scottie dog.

Every. Fucking. Time.

The awesome thing is that it never discourages them. They're like Maria von Trapp or Gidget or something: just undauntedly spunky all the time. I really admire them.

He disrespects and craps on everything else...may as well crap on the soldiers too.

The whole entire wingnut blogosphere "disrespecting The President while we're at war" IS treasonous, and helping ISIS/Russia/Ebola -- if you were applying the same Rightwing Rules as when Bush was president.

It's been a long time, but as I recall, the hand salute is only rendered when you are in uniform. So Preznits shouldn't be returning salutes at all, ever.

That's my recollection of the AF, as well. In the case of the POTUS, I'd even suggest that the salutes being rendered are similar to when the flag passes: you hold it until the guy has gone by.

It's almost like losing your virginity. Again, almost.

The public at large can easily determine what's the bigger problem: the cup-salute, or the insanity of the howling rage-monkeys on the right.

Artificially flavored, artifically sweetened, overheated, and extra-bitter, please.

I find this story difficult to fap to. Unlike the wingnuts, who find it difficult to stop fapping to.

Thought bubble above Mrs. Obama: "He never takes a cup to go at home . . ."

Tea? Clearly proof that he is planning to hand America back to the Queen. Real Americans dump that stuff in the nearest harbor.

I offer a <a href="http:\/\/youtu.be\/13FcmlAZEAc" target="_blank">salute</a> to those commenters.
