Obama Salutes Air Force One with Coffee Cup in Hand
Obama Salutes Air Force One with Coffee Cup in Hand – Obama has been taking a lot of heat on the internet after the White House posted a video clip on Instagram of Obama exiting Air Force One and saluting his marines with a coffee cup in his saluting hand. The President was on his way to attend the U.N. General Assembly in New York when the video was taken.
The move has been dubbed the “latte salute” by the internet. The president has also been criticized for his use of a non-environmentally-friendly coffee cup.
Tons of people around the web have posted their feelings about this careless move:
Wait – did President Obama just salute the Marines with a LATTE in his hand?! http://t.co/nV7iZwQG4b
