Wonkette
Here’s your famous president, being friendly to the Marine One guy in the Marines. Why won’t Obama stop spitting on our White American Traditions of never acknowledging the help? [YouTube]

VIVA CAMACHO!!!!!!
At least he didn’t smack his head on the door frame like bush did.
Look out - there’s coons on the lawn, Barry!
In the words of Apu: Long have I dreamed of the day when one of you works for one of me.
“UPDATE: FEMA food kits may contain tainted peanut butter.”
I’m sure that Carol Carter can think of a hilarious George Washington Carcer joke to e-mail to her eight former friends in the Florida Republican party.
OH THEY EVEN GAVE HIM A HELICOPTER IN HIS COMPENSATION PACKAGE? A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT WOULD BE DEFINITELY MORE FRUGAL DEFINITELY. ALSO.
shanemacgowan: That’s “George Washington Carver.” Sorry.
ILLUMINATI HANDSHAKE CAUGHT ON TAPE NO ONE CAN DENY IT HARD EVIDENCE EVERYONE LOOK I AM FORWARDING THIS TO EVERYONE I KNOW WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!1
Who exactly is the marine saluting once Barry has already saluted, greeted and passed him?
JeffGoldblum: Why don’t you go bang an Olsen twin and leave this “Snark” business to us youngsters.
The raccoon story is proof Washingtonians are bored and petty. What a surprise!
Preznit Hopemaster to Marine: “You fumigated this thing after the last guy, right?”
He was asking the Marine how the waterboarding on Ms. Pelosi went.
I think Barry is inherently a decent guy who probably just wanted to say ‘hello, how ya doing?’ to a young Marine and to make sure Walnuts didn’t put a bomb on board.
Barack Obama could make taking a dump look “cool”. Where’s your footage of that CNN?
The Borgen Project has some good info on the cost of addressing global poverty.
$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.
$550 billion: U.S. Defense budget
You have to feel for that Marine. After eight years where if you made eye contact with Cheney he would feast upon your bones before the New Moon, it must have been shocking to shake hands with someone that is warm blooded.
Purple Tide: What you just wrote was neither “Snarky” nor business. It generally didn’t make sense, either.
atsegga: Goddammit. Can’t we just kill off the hungry?
Dang! I have a woody and I haven’t even had time to log onto ActiveDuty. com.
Internally valid: If the flag was being carried, or the national anthem was playing, the protocol is to hold the salute.
shortsshortsshorts: What is with all the failbot trolls in here today?
Purple Tide: Purple cussingnews. Come on man, fess up. It was pretty cool how you’re reduced to posting on wonkette because you’ve been banned everywhere else. AMIRITE?!
magic titty: In this failing economy we must think of the children, at least in terms of how to cook and eat them.
shortsshortsshorts: No point really. The hungry are too tough for good eatin’. I guess you could make jerky.
atsegga: but bombing starving people with our huge arsenal? Priceless.
TY for the Borgen project.
JeffGoldblum: Do the homework on your avatar, brah. Goldblum was porking an Olsen twin a while back after she hopped off of Lance Armstrong. That’s what I’m SAYIN man, you ain’t with it!
Gopherit: You are so dumb. Cussing news couldn’t type one sentence without using a racial epithet, and I can go three! Ya spearchucker…
Purple Tide: see? And that’s why, when ken bans you, too, I will chuckle silently to myself.
Ken, this is the kind of poster you’re attracting in a post-Obama world. The Hope is really screwing with your quality, man.
Gopherit: Oh God. It took me a minute, but Tony’s back. Is that what’s going on ’round here? It’s The Real JR’s avatar, but with a stupid name. Just like the time Tony pretended to be Manchu.
Purple Tide: “Brah”? “Porking”? Really. You’re really going to lecture someone about how they “ain’t with it” with the vocabulary of an aging frat boy?
It’s probably all part of Comrade Barry’s master plan to turn America into the Soviet Union:
http://democralypsenow.blogspot.com/2009/02/fear-not-america-fox-news-wont-let.html
To change the subject slightly, President Obama is so cool, he’s even refrained from smoking in the White House… so far.
They have just released a transcript of what President Obama said:
Corporal, you are licensed to kill raccoons by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill raccoons at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case your enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They’re like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that’s all she wrote.
NoWireHangers: You don’t mean….is Denton trolling us? I thought he’d be funnier.
shortsshortsshorts: Tartare, don’t you think?
Poor kid probably didn’t know what to do. Actually, it kinda looked like Barry didn’t know what to do either…do I just walk by…nah, I can’t just walk by…gotta say hello to the help.
Of course, if Joe the Biden had been there he probably would have smacked the kid on the back and slipped him a cool $5 dollars for his trouble. That woulda been awesome to see.
Purple Tide: “L7″ means square. “L7 square” is redundant, daddy-o.
Purple Tide: Wow, it really is you. You knew his full name when all I said was “Tony.” I must admit that I’m surprised it took you this long to come back to Wonkette, but I can’t say I missed you. Gawker must be more fun, what with the ability to have followers and stuff. Wonkette isn’t nearly as sophisticated.
Cicada: THAT’S THE POINT DADDIO.
NoWireHangers: Actually, during the primaries, when we were assaulted by Tony the Tiger and Bruno the Bear and Jeremy the Jaguar and all his various incarnations of Suck, I was posting here, as I have been for years. Back then I think under Baiowulf.
The face of the poor Marine is great. “Shit shit shit, the President is coming . . . Hope I get my salute right, I bin practisin . . .” Then President Barry goes, “Oh that poor tight-assed Marine, I should tell him to relax”.
Then the Marine poops himself when the President says, “Oh hey, how ya doing”.
The moral is that newbie Presidents should realize that by surprising staff by being familiar doesn’t aid the hired help; it just freaks them out. That poor kid is probably traumatised now, and Walter Reed won’t admit soldiers affected by “Being Accosted by a Friendly Commander-in-Chief Syndrome.”
wheelie: Yeah, Bush used to completely ignore all those soldiers. Especially when they were asking him to report for duty with the Texas Air Guard.
Purple Tide: Ah, I didn’t realize saying stupid shit incorrectly was teh new funneh. My badz.
Has the president set a precedent now? Is he going to shake hands with all the honor guards for the next four or eight years? If he shakes hands with the Marine while getting on Marine One, but doesn’t shake the Air Force’s kid’s hand when he gets on Air Force One, is that going to start a nuclear war between the services?
Cicada: It’s the latest fad. Dane Cook = America’s #1 comic. Get with the pogrom, bro. Pogrom, get it? LUL!
oh noes! He just got his non-veteran cooties all over that marine!
Purple Tide: …Are you 24 going on 72? ‘Cause you seriously fail at this ‘hipster’ stuff.
This “Wolf” Blitzer person has gone beyond being tiresome.
Purple Tide: Dude, you’re sad.
Scandalabra: Wolf Blitzer was such a promising superhero name, but he never really lived up to it.
AxmxZ: Hipster? UH OH. Hipster is the new Hitler: bring it up and a conversation has been rendered meaningless.
AxmxZ: Dude, you’re condescending.
Andrews AFB. Where is Barry flying to?
Christ, no terrorist fist bumps? What the fuck did we elect this guy for, anyway?
AnnieGetYourFun: Free fried chicken, and of course his skills as an orator.
Jesus, another prolific bullshitter arrives at Wonkette and proceeds to show us all how to really be funny and cool. Thank you, colored laundry detergent. How ever would I have gone on without your help?
Ken, your comment made me laugh. That is until I considered how quickly the young marine could snap my backbone and return to attention. Maybe spitting on the help should be reserved for Latino women… old, crippled, pacifist Latino women. (I’m just saying. I wouldn’t want to fight a Latino woman in her prime. Some of them will cut you.
2druk2phluq: I’ve been here for years, I just had an afternoon off is all. I’ll go back to coming once a month like a flooding purple tide.
2druk2phluq: )
wheelie:
Most Flag Officers do freak you out like that on your first encounter.
*SNAP!* “Good Morning, Sir!”
“Morning, Devildog. How ya doin’?” *beaming smile*
It’s not in your programmed list of responses, so you just kinda freeze and look like a nervous idiot.
For someone who has never served in the military, President Obama certainly has a perfect, textbook salute; far better than the sloppy gesture of GeeDub.
Finally, I noticed that the Marine has a pizza box for his rifle badge. For his assignment, he should have at least a Sharpshooter badge. Fix it, Marine!
That Marine was chewing. I watched it twice. He was probably all set to resume his chaw when Hopey stopped and engaged him. Poor guy.
Purple Tide: please no. Go away 4ever.
Purple Tide: fuck off and go away. nao.
Gopherit: You’re funny. Keep going! We can make it a dance.
Flaming O: Heck, Barack was probably just asking him for a dip.
Purple Tide: or you can leave.
Shorts, i know you called my wife a rotting corpse, but you really want to keep this guy? He’ll pee on the floor and chew up the furniture. I think you should have him put down.
Gopherit: I agree. Let’s do this.
Jesus christ, what is going on in here? Banning complete, carry on.
YAY KEN!!!!
Ken Layne: Thank you pope cat. So many distractions have been getting me away from appreciating my president boarding a helicopter. Two years ago I didn’t think he had a fucking chance in hell (HE STILL DOESN’T HAR HAR HAR).
Internally valid: If it moves, salute it. If it doesn’t move, paint it.
Cicada: Late Night Shots.
thank you wonkette overlords. that was getting seriously boring and all at once out of hand.
whoops, i missed the flame war. oh well.
in other news — i will never get tired of this clip. i don’t know why, but something about the president acting like a normal person is very captivating.
God. I’ve missed you all…what was the question?
I feel compelled to take Tidy Bowl’s side in this flame war and ask for him to be unbanned.
Banished just for being lame? That’s uncool.
I, too, am a burned out boomer who is somewhat challenged in the swiftly changing currents of current vernacular, and I fear the ban hammer could fall on any of us at any time.
Do not ask on whom the ban hammer falls, it falls on thee.
And. Shorts, I have also voted for you to be unbanned, too, even though I am convinced that you are a somewhat deranged individual. Also (is also still funny?)
Servo: I know the guys who taught him to salute back in early January. He’s a quick study, but you know how the brothers are with their cool handshakes and whatnot; this is just the new high five.
It’s kind of weird and confusing to see the President act like a human being.
2druk2phluq: The old lady Latinas will cut you too. Also.
No more chimp walk; it’s all about the pimp walk now, y’all.
/Looks like I missed a blood-letting session
*scrolling up*
bitchincamaro:
…and Cheney cranks the gandydancer.
leaked transcripts of the convo with said Marine:
“You ain’t my bitch, nigga! Buy your own damn fries!”
Servo: The pizza box is probably due to the new field fire requirements. I went from expert to sharp because I couldn’t hear the damn directions from the sound shed. They need to upgrade their system. If McDonalds can, the USMC can too.
Also, if islamofascoterristos were smart they would play the national anthem while staging an attack. We would all be frozen at attention, unable to fight back. Also.
shortsshortsshorts: and eat them
GAH! I just fucking LOVE the President! He makes me feel so good about being an American.
I can’t believe I said any of that out loud.
Wow. It was like that final scene in Lost In Translation. WHAT DID HE SAY!!!?!? …We’ll never know, unless… someone uses sound enhancements then posts it on YouTube.
that’s it!! this should disqualify him! call PUMA!
Poor freakin’ jarhead is going to catch it back in quarters, let me tell you from my own personal experience.
Crankenstank: Affirmative. Gunny-spittle all over his face, no liberty for the next few eons and extra-duty aplenty.
