"By now, everyone has seen the pictures of President Obama's "latte salute," where he walked off Air Force One and couldn't even be bothered to switch his cup to his other hand while lazily saluting the Marines at the bottom of the airplane stairs.  The Obama apologists are dismissing the criticism, calling it "ridiculousness."
Perhaps the president meant it as an insult; perhaps not.  But we know the president is vain - after all, he has already written two books about himself - and he's also very stage-aware. He knew what he was doing.President Obama was striking a pose."
