For the first 192 years of our republic, commanders in chief did not salute military personnel

They RETURN the salute as a matter of courtesy. If you are being courteous, get it right.

The passing scene and what it's about viewed from the traditionalist politically incorrect Right.

The president is not supposed to salute military personnel

In a thread yesterday, Paul K. mentioned Obama’s behavior in reaching out to shake the hand of an enlisted man who was standing saluting him, thus requiring the surprised man to shake the president’s hand and then return to the salute. As James N. tells us, Obama was not violating proper form, but actually returning to it.
James N. writes:

I bow to no one in my utter lack of respect or regard for Barack Obama.
Nevertheless, with regard to the practice of the President saluting military officers and returning their salutes—THAT is an entirely modern innovation. Civilians do not salute officers, nor do officers salute civilians. A civilian who mistakenly salutes an officer or an enlisted man should not have his gesture returned.
The status of the President as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and the Navy was created BECAUSE the President is a civilian. NO President prior to Ronald Reagan ever saluted officers or enlisted men attending him for precisely this reason (that’s also why commissioned officers didn’t vote until FDR, paranoid about the outcome in 1944, authorized the practice). [LA replies: I didn’t know this.]
No President should presume the military honor which the salute conveys. Even General of the Army Dwight David Eisenhower stopped saluting and receiving salutes when he became President. The logical continuation of the Reagan precedent would be for Obama to design a six-star dress uniform for himself, and start wearing a saber.
Be glad that he’s not saluting.

Hmmm, I'll be glad when he finally leaves. Most despicable man ever to be commander in chief. Cannot stand the sunnavabitch.

Very true and his "wife"is a man and his kids are adopted.You cant find when,where and who they were born to.And,there is no family resemblance.

The President is at the top of the military chain of command. Any general officer may design own uniform. As the President is the MILITARY C in C while still being a civilian, he may or may not consider his usual business clothes as his "uniform", at his / her will. There is a photon of FDR saluting as the military passing in review.... It is a matter of courtesy for a superior saluted by a lower rank to return that salute and a sign of respect and simple courtesy. If you are going to return a salute, doing it in a sloppy or other non standard salute is disrespectful , and will be seen as such by the lesser rank so snubbed. BHO returns a sloppy salute. I t would have been better had he never saluted at all, and, possibly, simplu said "Thank you!" as he passed , but he did not.

Fact of the matter, no matter where he or his parents were born, he wasn't eligible to be President of the United States of America, because of his ignorance, communist beliefs
and desire to be Emperor. No one ever looked into his past because 1. His records were sealed, 2. We'd never had a black or half black president, 3. No one dared to question anything if they didn't wish to be investigated and God knows what else.

Civilians are not in the military, and even soldiers do not salute if not in uniform. By the way did you see bush's dog salute? Reagan started that crap tryng to pretend that he was a real soldier..

fredlott63

no. He doesn't even act like this is his country.

crazy libertarian: The Fake Birth Cert is back!!!! Evidence Obama birth certificate 'fake' heading to Congress
You didn't think Sheriff Joe Arpaio -- after years of forensic evaluation -- was going to simply file away his findings that the Obama birth certificate released by the White House is a fraudulent document, did you?

Not when the lawman found the original birth certificate used to make the forgery.

Not when he discovered the forger's glaring copy-and-paste mistake that blew the investigation wide open.

Not when a serious crime has been committed.

This case is bound for Congress.

Book 'em, Danno!

Sheriff joe is getting fitted for his own pink panties right now.

I would think he'd want to save that for his defence fund......that's how much it's going to cost to keep his forged fraudulent ass out out of jail now that his presidential charade has been exposed.....

carpenter patriot

Oh don't fool yourself. He's not going to jail....how can they jail him for not following the directives of the forged fraudulent charade known as 00 (Obama or who ever he REALLY is). What we DO know is he was NEVER a lawful sitting president. A proven without a doubt forged imposter.
