This photo is going around FB with
It may or may not be photoshopped - but in any case, it seems that once again, Obama does something that other presidents have done, be it put his feet on the desk, or sent a Christmas card without a cross on it, and suddenly its "unprecedented" and "disrespectful"!!
I have been able to find these of Bush:
Anyone have any other photos of presidents walking past saluting Marines that are everywhere in the White House and events?

(16,254 posts)They must spend their entire day digging through photos and quotes to find something a bit more bizarre than the last expose. If I were Obama, I'd have flipped them off a long time ago on my way out the door. The difference? He has class and I lost mine in 2008 when they wouldn't leave him alone. I don't know how he does it.

(80,708 posts)Any attack these assholes lob at Obama, chances are you can find proof of his predecessors doing the same thing.
The good news is that by propping up nonsense like this, they just prove that they have to make shit up to make him look bad, as they can't find anything substantial.

"This is a photo shopped..but wouldn't
surprise me.."
And who are they?
"When the good, decent folks at Fayette County Teaparty asked the Crawford family to stop posting on their Facebook page (because the postings were deemed "inappropriate" , the Crawfords created the FayCo Patriots page."
Too extreme for the Tea Party? I didn't think that was possible.

for the Military and Vets than any F****** gop admin has done.
And it was an Obama budget that gave the VA its largest increase in 30 years.

(2,289 posts)That is the explanation that I have gotten from my father (who was in the military all of 60+ days), along with others that were in the military (For much longer than my dad).
Reagan started that crap because he thought it looked cool and they have just ass-umed that was what they are all supposed to do.
The President is not supposed to be military. The military is supposed to be under the control of the citizens, not the other way around.
That's my 2 cents.
(Now, if I find out I'm wrong, then I will gladly admit I'm wrong. It wouldn't be the first time in my life to f### something up)
