And apparantly he chooses not to salute even a soldier receiving the
country's highest decoration. Some CIC!


Coward In Charge?




it is astounding that you militaristic bigots feel that receiving the
medal, along with a speech honoring his actions is insufficient, and
that a civilian must give a gratuitous and unnatural hand gesture to
appease YOUR misplaced sense of honor. The good sergeant can speak for
himself if he feels offended. I honor his actions. You are attempting
to impugn his honor and this country with trivialities. Perhaps you
have forgotten that at this time we are a country governed by civilians.
If you want a country where salutes are mandatory, there are countries
where the military is in charge - take your idiocy there and begone.


Obama reminds me of Bill Clinton when it comes to military protocol. And
Bill Clinton reminded me of Rufus T. Firefly. (as portrayed by Groucho
Marx)

I have never ever been in the military, and I would salute the Sergeant
just out of respect for his office and his deeds.

Mr. Obama is woefully lacking in many areas.

IMHO, he didn't salute the hero because he had no idea of the custom.
Shame on his handlers for not telling him his options. I doubt the
Sergeant cared either way and probably would have rather been elsewhere.

It's not that Obama is lacking, he has performed a great service to this
country by showing that the reality of the left's ideas just don't work.
Now, let's see if the right will shoot themselves in the foot or do the
people's will.


I'm not going to say who, but I wish someone would shoot somebody somewhere.
