Coffee Cup Salute by the Commander-in-Chief?

Nope. Too much potential for saliva to be spewed when chests compress against one another therefore resulting in unwanted exchange of bodily fluids.

The militarization of America continues.
Soldiers were supposed to salute their president; the president was not supposed to salute the soldiers. No modern president, not even old General Eisenhower, had saluted military personnel. It might even be, well, sort of, improper. Reagan seemed disappointed at this news. Kline suggested he talk to the commandant of the United States Marine Corps and get his advice, and the commandant’s advice ran something like this: You’re the ...... president. You can salute whoever you .... well please. So Ronald Reagan continued saluting his soldiers, and he encouraged his own vice president and successor, George H.W. Bush, to do the same. And every president since has followed.
"We used to take pride in civilian leadership of the military under the Constitution, a principle that George Washington embraced when he avoided military symbols at Mount Vernon. We are not led -- or were not in the past -- by caudillos," Willis continued. - See more at: http://www.texasgopvote.com/militar...itary-hand-salute-002816#sthash.YHzc37EB.dpuf

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

Okay, but President John Adams wore a sword in public during the Quasi-war with France. That was both (a) more military than rendering a hand salute and (b) fairly early in the history of the Republic.
Can you imagine how goofy it would look (or the media reaction) if BHO or GWB wore a sword in public?
I'm all for it, but only if they also wear eye patches and each have a parrot on their shoulders.

Not a good salute. His thumb is sticking out. Hand is turned the wrong way. Course he is a furriner! Is Libya close to Kenya?

Seebell - I am glad you are so easily amused. my Friend. With Obama, the humor takes care of itself.
Qadaffi/Kadafi/Kadaffi - Whatever the flavor of the day is, in spelling his name. Total idol of mine. From the snazzy outfits he wore with matching head wrap, to his facial hair, and reconstructive surgery. Is there any doubt why he was a such a lady's man? Well, other than kidnapping them and forcing his will upon them. Stud.
