Title: Yes, They had to teach Obama how to salute

Yep, that sounds about right:

Under the guidance of an expert, aides say Obama privately repeated his salute over and over again until he got it down. In a testament to how sensitive the White House is about the commander in chief practicing this basic military gesture, aides would not say who taught Obama how to salute.



Yeah right:

But much more goes on behind closed doors. When Obama visits a military hospital, aides said, he sits quietly as mothers cry on his shoulder, or he puts on surgical scrubs to pray at the bedside of an unconscious Marine whose injuries are so severe it appears he won’t make it through the week.

There are very few time that I think we should follow the lead of the British, but when Obama visits a military hospital I would like to see this happen.

Gordon Brown was snubbed by badly injured Afghan veterans when they closed curtains round their beds during a hospital visit and refused to speak to him.

The man is not competent to run a cat house.  Wait a minute.... He's from Chicago...  Maybe he IS competent to run a cat house.  Nah...  That involves a capitalist effort.  He'd have to give it away free.  I'll stick with number one. :-*

He would do fine.  He would have ACORN advisers helping every step of the way.

But only if the bill could be paid with somebody else's money.
