Sure, for me, the guy who is not the president or anything.
No, just wasn’t precise enough.
This is no time for imprecision! We’re talking about presidential hand gestures!! What if Obama reads on the internet that lance strongarm is okay with imprecision and gets careless?! He could reach out to shake the Bulgarian ambassador’s hand, miss, and push the button that starts World War III! And you’ll be all like “oh no, why did I say it was okay to be imprecise?!” but it’s too late because you and everyone you care about is a radioactive puddle of goo!
STOP GAMBLING WITH OUR FREEDOM!
You really need to get a better hobby than this.
Hey, I answered the question seriously when the thread was opened four years ago. Now I’m on vacation.
Send us a postcard!
That was as far as I was taking it.
I figure there isn’t any right answer for the President. People who don’t like him won’t like whatever he does. If he salutes, he’s violating strict military protocol; if he doesn’t salute, he’s showing disrespect for the troops.
(It reminds me of the primary election season, when Herman Cain wouldn’t answer a question, because he didn’t know what Obama was going to say on the same issue, and he didn’t dare take the chance that Obama might say the same thing he said!)
Has an actual member of the U.S. military who was in a position to throw the prez a salute and possibly get one back ever weighed in on this?
Not in this thread.
Okay… then, ever, that can be cited in this thread?
A lot of you don’t know this, but I’m actually former US President Jimmy Carter…
I wasn’t sure, but I was really really suspicious…
Yeah. Liberal was actually Gerald Ford.
Aha! I knew it!
Has James Buchanan been taken yet?
